Recently I've been driving with my eyes closed Hoping I'll implode in a matter of seconds My desire it beckons I need reading glassees I can't see anyone I want up close But who would I see? I've spent the past whole year running away from me Maybe jogging, yeah, that'll fit it better Or how I only go out if it's the perfect weather And it might just be placebo but at least I'm feeling something I think if you jumped off a cliff right now I'd follow in the same fashion She gets me, with all that passion Talking didn't work; I've been writing and reading Exercising my breathing In, out, in and again I only want you around if I think you're convenient I gotta stop lying just cuz it's convenient I dialed her cell-phone number In a tight-knit sweater for the worse or better I don't know who allows me to speak I know I talk big game but talk's not cheap I've swung slot machines where if you hit three cherries the lights'll light up real, real, real, real bright And when I'm alone I'll envision a guy like me seeing them shine This culture's crazy--we think we have time but we don't

TBH 02:42
I'll be honest about it If you'll be honest about it We had nothing left in common You're too earnest and I'm at the bottom Maybe one day--in a coffee shop I could see you, we could hit it off But I'm just like booze when the buzz wears off You can't stomach it You won't wanna talk to me at all So we'll whisper into wishing wells Pawn off our cars, purchase a carousel End right back up where I swore we wouldn't Babe I spent all our quarters, knew it, but I shouldn't There comes a time in everyone's life You gotta have a game plan Well I haven't done mine I like moments I like the present tense The farthest that I've planned is when I gotta pay rent Is this what you meant when you said I was lazy I gotta admit I see your point now baby Is this what you meant when you said I don't feel it I gotta stop lying just cuz it's convenient And you won't talk to me at all I'll be honest about it If you'll be honest about it

Just like the way you get when I show up late I have been pouting and decaying Stuck in a corner reciting poetry I've been caught glancing at the moon I hope the sun will come soon I get embarrassed when people say they've been missing me This is the way you'd talk to me without anyone listening I'd hear people cheer and drown them out unintentionally This is the way I'd talk to you when we had no clue what to do I'd have my gut punched until I bleed and still wouldn't move I'm scared I write so many things down they won't be heard the way I want them to sound I've taken a new interest in listening So many people will come and go but never forget the ones who show you indirectly what you truly value This is the way that you would scream "you do not mean a thing to me" And then your breath left and I couldn't quite catch up with you So, this is the way that I have been--making excuses for my sin Look at the mess that you turned me into Look at the mess you've turned me into

Mikayla Anne 02:18
She wore our dad's jacket when she wanted to touch the stars She'd stand on her tiptoes and swear to me that it's not that far I remember the constellations I remember everything I remember the cadence of your mouth quivering It was 40 degrees in Northwest Texas and we were shivering I always admired how your smile on a Friday night Didn't disappear into the morning You're beautiful and dignified I look up to your compassion I don't think I ever told you that Maybe when I get home we can argue again about the thermostat I'll support you all over the world if you promise to give me a map There's thousands of miles out there We grew up inches apart I'm smiling while I write this I hope you're smiling wherever you are Because you're worth it Because you deserve it You are

I'm better now at coping and feeling good on my own I've thought a lot I feel old now My back's gonna brake like a plane losing cargo I'm better now There are people I can call when I have got the gall to go out in the dark Mark your calendars Save the date Because time's passing fast but I think I'm running late I can't afford a watch these day's I pray for running shoes and to check off some of my to-do's And budgeting will be the death of me I indulge in what I want and abstain from what I need I need to not talk over people Not chalk it all up to fate I am elated that I woke up today You should be too Because our hearts beat without a clue Not knowing who they are inspiring with blood That's love-- it's unconditional There's always decisions that affect our precision We're buried by what hold us down I pray for running shoes and to check off some of my to-do's To breathe air fresh and new And to not talk over people But it's so hard when your mind's going fast, like a hundred miles an hour I can't stop it

Clouds 02:21
As swiftly as I came I'll usher myself right out Through the cracks in the floorboards not making a sound I'm tracing back the clouds to the boarders till I cannot see anymore And I realize even they're moving on Why can't I take that as advice? And I am slowly realizing why all good things must come to an end And I've come to this obvious conclusion through separation and malcontent Look around--all my friends are moving on Why can't I take that as advice So why I can't take my own advice I swear that I will eventually
