CINEMA
when i press into your mouth
through your eyes sewn
your tongue wrapping tightly
around the teeth of frozen alones
sounds around, around, around, around your retinal blindspots
can’t seem to ever connect any of the dots
dark and unattended leaves the head to wrap inside you
it wasn’t the best year trying to find out why they won’t talk to you for
six, one, three, two minutes, blank voices ring your ears
makes it hard to try and find what’s never disappeared
never said i wouldn’t try and see it around
studying the street and waiting patiently but something must break
grey, uncomplicated rooms of dark, peaking hollow
dull christmas lights shot in modern, new-age, cinematic
views of what you're doing as of summers long ago
the places that seem distant are all you've ever really known
never said you weren't going 'lost but never found'
[ ] said to never let them go, cue our mothers leaving
separated further than the most, it’s gone too far
losing light, guess it’s time to thank your lucky stars and drive fast
darker on the highway, roads start flooding grey with snow
the places that seem closest are the longest drive home

DON'T GO TO COLLEGE
please don't go to college
it’s all coming too fast
tracing memories on the hill
and breaking through on the dead grass
pretty, won't you tell me
where's the part where the curtain falls?
where we drown in your velvet
where i can feel like it was nothing at all
i kiss your lips, you punch me hard
then hold me closer in your arms
the window shade reflects no blue
they're not closed but i can't see through
you
you make me feel ashamed
you make me feel nothing
you make me feel like i've never been closer
you
you draw it from your sleep
i've been told you don't have dreams
what kind of world are you waking up into?
inside the closing scene
it all looks the same
invitational, the modern exists as an empty frame
oh... stepping out
and keep living in the past
there's nothing but ocean out here
and you don’t look better through the glass
you
you make me feel ashamed
you make me feel nothing
you make me feel like i've never been closer
you
you draw it from your sleep
i've been told you don't have dreams
what kind of afterlife will make you?

NO CARE
no one asks me for dances because I only know how to flail
i always hit like i'm drowning, dead arms around him
i'd rather stand still
hold tightly to the walls
no care, no care in the world
no care, no care in the world
i don't care, i don't care anymore
i don't care, i don't care
love in a panic because I prefer to sit on fences
spit-kissing on my sickbed
i'm not searching for replacements
but we all look like broken instruments
twisted up and wheezing out the wrong notes
sleepless folks watching light grow through their early morning windows
i don't care, i don't care anymore
i don't care, i don't care
i'm too drunk to fight, hurling curses at your surface
because i'm aware, because it hurts
that i'm in love again
and you have kissed my neck so your arguments are insane
fighting over the way something was said
while i'm still here like a cheap threat
no care, no care in the world
no care, no care in the world
i don't care, i don't care anymore
i don't care, i don't care
there has only been one time where we fucked
and i felt like a bad memory
like my spine was a reminder of her
and you said that you felt sick
i was so heavy hearted, lying silent with you afterwards
how i wanted you to promise we would only make
how i wanted you to promise we would only make
how i wanted you to promise we would only make love
but my mouth felt like I was choking broken glass
so i just slept it off
you see, my mouth felt like it could talk the end of us
so i just slept it off, slept it off
no care, no care in the world
no care, no care
i don't care, i don't care anymore
i don't care, i don't care
i'm too drunk to fight
i only wanted you to promise me we would only ever make love
but my mouth felt like it could talk the end of us so i just slept it off
wanted you to promise me we would only ever make
wanted you to promise me we would only ever make love

DON'T LOOK BACK
PART 1:
a gray palindromic loss again
creeps through my pink tinted vision
black sky and a roaring wind
tears full force through her dress
and i love you so much but surely
we won’t get a big ending
house turns to sepia
and raises above the ground spinning
don’t know how it will be over
or if we’ll get to see it
supine and dry in gabriel park
forty days left in the end
you wouldn’t know it
if it hit you in the back of the head
soft eyed girl holds your fingers
on the winding ahead
autumn is crackling down
and i’m holding my breath
street slants into the sea
i don’t know which direction
sit on your car and feel the breeze
feel the warmth of the sun sinking
PART 2:
“and don’t look behind you, there’s nothing there”
running for the hills, she sweared, she sweared
if there’s no point in coming back
lie against the tracks, pulled you from the tracks
is there no voice to reply?
as i stretch across the sky, no more room to hide
did you see what’s coming or
did you just assume the worst?
a drought in thirst
PART 3:
i will let it go
i will let it go
i will let it go
