underneath you

There will be other times but i missed the best,
I wanted to see you for once, but i think you just left
You just left-
So i was facing the faded skyline, sitting on your doorsteps
Well, we had our time, we tried our best
We crossed some lines, we made our bets
We came out of this pretty damn sore,
It makes it hard to feel anything at all
Cause i'm not underneath you anymore,
I'm not underneath you anymore.

It's a sunday and i'm not sure how late it is,
Curtains keep the sunlight we need the most in check,
Check up on you, one eye open
We're a curtain, you are the sun
We're the curtain, you are the sun.
We live somewhere underneath it all,
You take the stairs, i follow you, i follow through,
I try to breathe somehow underneath you,
Underneath you.

Some kind of beauty

Brick after brick you built these walls
Went through the kind of hell you don't come back from
But you loved. A love so strong.
Fragile desire,
Burning me
Burning you with some other kind of fire-

I feel it late at night, when these sheets become a fight,
I'll never look back.

You raised yourself to be the father of all
But you cover the song you love the most,
because you're scared to write your own-
Everybody left you to find a god,
You held more in your arms than them all along
Some kind of beauty you faced all alone.

You feel it late at night, when these sheets become a fight,
You'll never look back.

I'll do it all over again, you'll do it all over in pain

Brave.


Skinny fingers, breaking away
Throwing stones at life every day
If you die alone, you'll stay mine for awhile more
I'll crawl out the window while you walk through that door.
Young hopes fading with the month of november
Lies you never thought you'd hear,
Rolling off your tongue,
Rolling off your songs-
Winter gets to you like a disease,
You feel so alone,
I could cure you in a second,
A second too late
Her hair on your pillow just became fate.
We're only rising to fall further down,
From the valley to the river,
Away from the music we used to hear

You were a tourist in my world
Calculating the ways to travel right to me
Now I sleep on your tragedies,
The things you break-
The things we left
Left and back to you
Right and back to me
You were a painter in my head,
Drawing and filling the empty spaces you made,
Painting my love grey
With the things you couldn't say,
With the word leave and the word stay.

Father's daughter


Will you lose your purpose when she stares at you
She's his flesh and she's your bones
She's screams and moans
She's never in between your sheets,
She'll never whisper sweet nothings,
Instead she'll say you're nothing
Nothing worth praying for.
Please put yourself back together,
Forests of growing hopes for you and her,
The nights are dark but mornings get brighter,
You're losing your voice looking for her,
You're losing your voice screaming her name.

misunderstanding


When the sun was so high for you,
It was coming down for me,
Your were walking the same steps i did,
You were just right behind me,
It was my shadow you saw,
My shadow you saw.
Hang your coat back in my living room,
I missed you by a few seconds, you left way too soon,
Meet me at the same place we chased the feeling,
It's a season too late but these are the same streets, the same park, the same buildings-
Define us as a misunderstanding.

words down

Measure the distance between you and her,
Read the lines you wrote by wasting time,
Start over,
Break, Breaking, Broken people
You have the weight of the secrets of one two many,
One two many lovers on your shoulders
That never really mattered,
We never really mattered.
Walk up north,
To something cold,
Frozen jealousy,
You'll kill her while loving the way she used to be.

love you less

Curse the days when you are carelessly driving through town,
Curse my name and curse the dirt these few years made,
You know i never asked you to be so kind,
Kind of the one,
Last night, tonight and tomorrow
If all you can do is lay awake,
Pins and needles, your body's losing its sense,
With love on your mind, but her in your hands,
I think i, i think i'll do my worse to do my best, to love you less
To love you less
Oh do you look for me when you can't bear it anymore,
When the days away, make the nerves of your neck too sore,
To look back at something that's fading fast,
Do you look for me while driving through town anymore.

Be indifferent,
I know you see it too when you face this mess,
Please waste your time waiting for someone else
I think i'll do my worse to do my best, to love you less.
