You can have my soul
Take my love while I’m in cuffs
Steal all that you want
Just please don’t take my stuff
Cameras and guitars
Are my actual heart
Beat me up if you want
But please don’t steal my art
You can hurt me if you want
You can make me wish I had given up
Everything that I own
But I don’t have insurance so
I’d much rather you not
Do you wanna go outside with me
I know full well that you’d rather sleep
But I can drag the boxspring bed with me
To the world outside our room
Do you wanna take a walk with me
I’ll carry you kicking and screaming
To show you a beautiful morning
Can’t you see through the fog in your eyes
You told me through a mouthful of lukewarm water
I put in a glass by your bed with ice
Last night
That I’m not really here and I never was
And you’re not really here you’re just part of the dust
In the corner where I see you staring every night
Wishing for light
Do you wanna go get help with me
I saved some money to fix this see I
Don’t know what they’ll do to you
But I know it can’t be worse than what you do to me
And I want you better but you want to stay
You don’t like the weather here but you like the grey
It feels more at home than a hand knit sweater
But I remember you when you liked me better
I told you with my arms full of 2 weeks old laundry
I forgot about when you got hungry for the first time
In awhile
That I’m not really here and I never was
And you’re not really here you’re just part of the dust
In the corner where I see you staring every night
Wishing for light
There’s a black and white film left on repeat
The sound is off so you can barely see
What’s going on but you don’t need to know
The details to know the story
