Word by Word:
sometimes i lose my way and i can't find myself
every time i start something my life is like a low pulse
i remember that we were watching the stars together
i remember that we were writing poems together
these rows deep in my head, my nails deep in my skin
Skeletons in band T-shirts:
i've lost my shape, or maybe i've never even had one.
the weight of the air has no effect on me.
i can still hear the murmuring sound of the void,
but i can no longer understand it.
tonight our thoughts turn to empty words and trendy symbols.
and my limbs turn to smoke. and my eyes turn to light.
just stay in the bed. i'll go and wake up the sun.
