Blinds

The power’s out again now we sleep so seriously
Box of lemons in the fridge have been there for a week
And now all the neighbors are
Moving around in the dark
The hours last so long because I know you are not home
Trying to learn the difference of being lonely and alone
The floors creak and moan
The plants are all overgrown
Knocking at the door
Turning off the lights
Sitting on the floor
Peeking through the blinds

Change Your Mind
01:41
|

When I’m alone I can feel it
It slows down time
When you are still I can see it
Seeping out of your mind
Do you even notice?
Do you even care?
Do you even notice,
Or do you just stare?
The springs are poking out
They’re hurting my back
Can’t close my eyes or mouth
Keep breathing in
Anxiety attack
Do you even notice?
Do you even care?
Do you even notice,
Or could you change your mind,
Again this time?

Ursa Minor

Pin pricking holes
In the paper
To help me see Ursa Minor and Major
And even though things
Can turn sour
I know you do it ‘cause you care
Jenny, you lived across the street
Rode our bikes on the lawn, we’re pedaling
Swung his bat behind his head
Hit yours, I thought you were dead
Our house was the first one on the street
An old brick building where you and I would meet
And even though things change completely
I know you do it ‘cause you care

Smile
02:00
|

Waking up to an empty day
Tell yourself just not to throw it away
Need to find another way
Hard to stare back at your defeated face
And I see something, do you see it?
Now write it down
If I write it down, can you call it?
I’ll tell you what to say
Try to feel like you’re okay
Tell yourself just not to throw it away
Now you found another way
To stare back at your familiar face
And I see something, do you see it?
Now write it down
If I write it down, can you call it?
I’ll tell you what to say
Smile and walk away, ‘cause it’s okay!

January

|

Even though it’s January, we still have a (Christmas) tree
The limbs are drooping, as our eyes turn towards the T.V.
Maybe we should write this down
Scared of leaving this town
Read the news with heavy sighs
In the morning, don’t want to open my eyes
Even though it’s February, we can wear short sleeves
It’s disconcerting, but we still act happily naive
Maybe we should write this down
Scared of leaving this house
Read the news with heavy sighs
In the morning, don’t want to open my eyes
Every morning
Another warning

Days

Summer’s gone
How many months until spring?
The nights last so long and I can not fall asleep
Feeling stuck
Stuck in the same routine
Another day, another year
Should I stay or should I leave?
I’m not the only one
To watch the days come and days go
We both feel the same way
Feeling stuck
Will you stick with me?
Another day, another year
Should we stay or should we leave?
I’m not the only one
To watch the days come and days go
We both feel the same way
Alone

Slouch
01:44
|
|||
I can’t stop crying, even in the most public place
When the feeling hits I feel it down my face
Can’t stand up straight
I’m slouching until my body caves
I don’t want to feel this way
I had to put myself first, but I forgot
You wouldn’t let me forget what I was leaving behind

How on Earth can you be so naturally happy?

Somewhere
01:47
|

Convinced I’m so busy
Am I leaving you with nothing?
You cry so casually
When you’re walking in the street
Would you even recognize me?
You suffer stoically
I want to know
If you can find somewhere
A place to go
Where you can feel better
And I don’t know
If I will ever see you again
You have to go
You have to find somewhere

Birthday
04:02
|
|||
Sitting with a Coke can next to me
And it’s hurting my teeth
But at least it’s distracting
Trying to reconnect with you
But we don’t know how to
So we tell the same stories
And you’re not quite sure how to pronounce my name
And I’m not quite sure whose fault it is to blame
Sitting on the bed in your room
Looking through your old books
And cut up magazines
Counting how long I have known you
And how little is new
We still share the same stories
And you’re not quite sure how to pronounce my name
And I’m not quite sure whose fault it is to blame
Now that we’ve both moved on and away
I don’t want to only talk on our birthdays
