i believe in waking up
in whiter sheets
than you could throw
over my head when i pretend
that you've been thinking about where i've been
keeping still
collecting kindness from kids you adore
do you really want more overwhelming reports
of victimized chores
still you're eating for two
till you feel something new
you're the one
i want to see alone
no opportunity
you're the one i am wanting
you are the one i am wanting

i've been busy sleeping
and counting cars in my front yard
incorrectly confident
i'm surprised by what you are
and you wouldn't believe it
overbearing concentration keeps me calm and unfulfilled
i feel like i could never see it
misbehaving much more recently
fear retreat for common reasons,
restless red inside my room again
i know that you're not
remembering how i tried so long
to be overexposed
to discussion that leaves me feeling proud
i know you're over it now
but i still think about palmer cracking loud
i'm never feeling so strong
i'll be coming by drowned before too long

passing worn cups on silver trays
nevermind new york brides and bridges made
from long decay and warm embrace
i'll be leaving soon
with matches and a shaded view
i walk in the shade of you
with glances always misconstrued

i see you when i sleep
in selfish kinds of dreams
in selfish kinds of dreams
i'd rather be asleep

i don't want to be remembered for much more
than sharing catastrophe i turn into much more
cause you won't stay with me
competing ideology
you'll see eventually
its not that hard to tell
from my face you can recall the way i watched withheld
i could make believe another open door
designed in disbelief, i know i could do more
but you won't stay with me
competing ideology
you'll see eventually
its not that hard to tell
from my face you can recall the way i watched withheld

in my house i feel old
the soft sound of your voice
will burn victims of old love
i'm still silenced by old love
in my city i feel good
among pillars and worn wood
and the tree's deep dreams
i fell victim to bored love
i fell victim to bored love

i feel just fine
asking for extended time
for you to find and reconsider
what was happening this whole time
i've seen you act like you've been trying for so long
overcome with feeling caught
i look ahead and fake surrender to the calm
overwhelmed but feeling strong
i can't believe
i'm dreaming heavy like before
still feels like home
still like it more than keeping candy by the phone
i've seen you act like you've been trying for so long
overcome with feeling caught
i look ahead and fake surrender to the calm
overwhelmed but feeling strong
overwhelmed but feeling strong

see
i've been growing up lazy
getting caught up in all sorts of crazies
and i can't tell if you want to
then i'd be unwound
if you want to i'll divide my time in two
equal parts with you
wonder what i'd have to do
sitting in my room

i know i'm not going home anytime soon
so i'll sink into my bed
and break some glass over my head
been caught contriving, playing dead
i don't want to see you again
i feel so mad again
it comes when timing's fucked
so i'll cut out my heart
and feed the cats then
its hard to think of other times when mother washed my clothes
guilt stained, stretched out
reconsider what you felt
but you seem patient when you lay on the ground
with my hands held with strength that seems repressed
wet with consequence that breeds in the skin
i've cut thin 100 times since then
i've been scared of acting tough
the way you think i ought to be
its not enough to call you home to play
i'll wait another day
i'll figure it out
i'll be ok

i've been wondering about the words you leave inside
its hard to make believe you're better than i find
call you over to play
try another day
i can sleep alone
so you feel at home
safe from me
surround yourself with colors
locked in cans overgrown
you're right to feel controlled
i will make you wait far too long
singled out again
a lack of confidence brings me down
with weight on my bones
i should be more like you
calming in the way that you feel against my skin
i might wake up today
but i can't tell
