It feels so wrong to fall in love with something so new so fast If I structured my fall the ground would just be part of the path So now when I fall, I move through the love until I can’t I can’t, I shouldn’t believe in any other start, because You don’t know how much I’ve put in my defense I only confront what I can go around! I’ve been told “Kid, you’re making your life too short!” So I’d realize I’m supposed to die last Well I prefer to scatter my insides when I collide Than have someone dig through what I left behind Always searching for an answer they made up anyway When all of my problems were highlights, when all of the sketches were batted away! You don’t know how much I’ve spit towards my defense I only confront what I can beat around! I’ve been burned “Kid, you’re making your life too short!” So I’d realize I’m supposed to want to die first And I know! My life would rather be alive than understood It’s something that paints me with all of my drawings It’s something that goes silent whenever it’s calling It’s something that’s backwards in how it is stalling Just something to convince me that I’m not falling at all!!!!! This is where i realize I'm supposed to live through my death I've been telling my whole life “My death won’t be short!”

There is a man riding a car on top of my chest!! I let a thought, out of my mouth Would it really be so hard to walk If my heart didn’t know its own parking spot Well I don’t know if all of these hairs are still in place Each separately leaving their own skid marks From when they found out they had to cut it short Well I know that all this plaque just builds And when my friends don’t respond to me I sing a song that reminds me that I remain in place I’ve noticed a thousand flames reignite I’ve watched my favorite lake go dry I’ve seen my favorite stars collide And yet they all seem to share the same line When I convince myself I’m out in the open The needle bounces off my eye And I can see every single possibility I just want to clog my mouth shut My face is bleeding Every time I wake up when I see the mirror The cracks form a road Where my drive can only follow The potholed wheels that leave on their own Sloppy art spiraling down, always intended to slow It’s not alive, it’s just my heart’s final show So I need to make this mirror mine! I set fire to the lake, and thought it still needed me to dry This is the time I want my favorite stars to collide So every reality can be set aside In my sleep And everyday I wake up With my face stuck to dried blood And I swear to the mirror That if I ever find love I’ll make sure to stay in line!!!!

There’s a part of me that’s desperate for changes Tired of repeating the same thought through lines But the part of me that fights back lives in my legs Dragging against the flow of time And it burns my throat to say That I want to be wrong But I almost gave up learning This is where the fire broke its tongue I’m scattering the heart That ran water through my veins So I can stare at both flames This is where everything stays! I’m in love with living by myself Tangled in the wires I record with Please pull me out of this chair! All of my friends are floating in still water They’re pulled under one by one, So many greetings I’ve designed Say hello to the nearest hole, This time I want to say goodbye And as my ashes blow away I only hear this one thought Our hearts. Beat. time. Time beats… What I can’t know I will never let go Of what time means to me
