Stared Into

(2018)
I stared into the water
I stared in the earth
The two I love the most, my soul and my host
They railed against me and drove up to the coast
My mentor the puppet string man
Took his guitar and drove it into the heartland
Told me this as he began to slip
Stop looking for what doesn't fit
How do you know?
I stared into the fire
I stared into the sky
How the two ends meet at a point
But it's so hard to make it that far
What will I do when you leave?
What will I do when you go?

(2017)
You went to sleep on the jungle gym
I tried to dream on the swing set
They found us in our pjs
You're a tornado, you've got me
I smelt the kindergarten teacher's perfume
It was drenched on the back of your neck and that's how I knew
That you were never coming back, at least not as a child
That you were really so much older now
Don't wanna know where you are
It's a stupid love
You're at the grocery store, you're in your best friends car
You're at my funeral, you're hanging at the mall
Don't wanna know who you are
It's a stupid love
Don't be so emotional
It was just one time
30 foot buses in the green rain
I felt the water drip on the page
I don't think that i deserve to exist
Don't think I could ever leave it
Your hair reminds me of all the children's shows I watched on tv
And the short pants I used to wear before anyone cared
Before I cared

(2017)
You went to the liquor store and you bought three bottles
You'd thought it be the last three that you would ever buy
You told me you didn't want to die
That you just wanted to clock out early
So you took what was left to take and you became an angel
On the stoop steps I'm glad I didn't find you there
And I'm glad you're still here

(2015)
A band-aid adorns the back of your ankle
And that's what you get for wearing high heels
Who were you trying to impress?
Is the pain really worth it?
Your arms in a sling
You dislocated it, when you took a swing at me
While I made you tea
I watched you evaporate into steam
Good luck trying to leave
The seat belt clicks, but the leather seats freeze
You put the key in the ignition
But the sound of the engine stole all of your ambition
Now you listen to me breathe
And you count the seconds hoping that it will stop
Your mouth is an abyss
When you come to the conclusion this is only the beginning

Black Narcissus

(2016)
On the back of a polaroid picture
I saw the gold letters you wrote
When you were young and whole
Just you and your mom on the back lawn
But now she's gone
Everyone that you love is gone
So you drove out to California
Where the people never hibernate
You drove your car into the ocean
You said I won't be blamed for the mistakes I've made
But it'll all be the same
Everyone everywhere is the same
Now you're standing on a stage
Bull fighters daughter 1903
Standing naked in the library
Playing possum 1928
1945 came on a steamer
Then you became a sister
Sat all day and you read the scripture
Just looking for an answer
There is no answer
There's never an answer

If You Have the Time

(2017)
Every night she goes out to the yard
Every night I try to break her heart
I fly around on trashcan wings
And she goes and she hides in the livestock leaves
I carved your name into the willow tree
And I took what was left to the old creel
I didn't think you would ever leave
With your bread basket eyes and your plaster knees
I still miss your three colored sheets
And how if I asked you would always hold me
You dropped my ring into the soapy sink
And I watched as you watch all the water drain
I covered myself in salt
And I tried to dissolve through the windshield in the snowy hills
I played dead in a cave thought of your ankle brace
As I sipped the suburban sun
Now you sit like a wave in the back of my mind
And you act just like the tide
I had a vision of the future I knew I still loved you
So if you have the time

FKA Twigs Show

(2015)
I woke up in an Edward Hopper painting
I wondered why the walls were so white
I woke up in an Edward Hopper painting
I wondered where everyone went
And why was I standing next to the sunlight
What was I trying to find can you tell me Edward
Do I really look that lonely or is it more of an artistic interpretation
Cause seeing myself so naked so bare so honest just makes me want to cry
I waited for you outside of the FKA Twigs show
You always said that you were a fan
I tried to buy a ticket I tried to get in
But they were all sold out
...
I waited for you outside of the FKA Twigs show
But you probably didn't want to see me anyway
