Pacing around the pool
Lost in my own thoughts
He asked me do you spend time inside your head a lot
I nodded yes in reply
He said “in that way we are a lot alike”
Getting way too high
Thinking maybe schizophrenia is in my blood,
LSD stuck in my spine
freaking out and thinking,
“is this what uncle Cody felt like all the time?”
I wish I could’ve told him it would be alright
I wish I could’ve told him it would be alright
But I don’t think I could’ve
But I still wish I could’ve
Water guns aimed at his head
Sleeping on the pull out bed
Dad flipped out when he found out about
the rifle in the bed of his truck
I still don’t know why Cody came to stay,
but his tear stained face through the laundry door remains
Getting way too high
Thinking maybe schizophrenia is in my blood,
LSD stuck in my spine
freaking out and thinking,
“is this what uncle Cody felt like all the time?”
I wish I could’ve told him it would be alright
I wish I could’ve told him it would be alright
But I don’t think I could’ve
But I still wish I could’ve
Looking up at the small red light
holding steady as I walk by
And remembering when Cody said
“theyre secretly recording your life “
Am I getting way too high?
Thinking maybe schizophrenia is in my blood LSD stuck in my spine
Freaking out and thinking
I’m alone all of the time
Thinking subjectivity is all I’ll ever see
and no one could ever understand me
An illusion for your reality
Is this what uncle Cody felt like all the time?
I wish i could’ve told him it would be alright
I wish that I could tell him it would be alright
But I don’t think I could’ve
But I still wish I could’ve

Sinking Stone

I’m like a stone sinking down to my home in the
riverbed
I’m like a stone sinking down to my home and nothing’s gonna stop me, nothing’s gonna stop me
I’m not going out tonight
I’m goin home, I’m goin home
I’m not goin out tonight
I wanna be alone, I wanna be alone
But if you held my hand
And helped me helped me understand
That nothing is so bad
As to not try everything you can
Then I would go outside
And I wouldn’t mind
And I would be just fine the rest of my life
The rest of my life, the rest of my life
I’m like a robe slipping down off the throne of my queen size bed
I’m like a stone sinking down to my home and nothing’s gonna stop me
I’m not going out tonight
I’m goin home, I’m goin home
I’m not goin out tonight
I wanna be alone, I wanna be alone
But if you held my hand
And helped me helped me understand
That nothing is so bad
As to not try everything you can
Then I would go outside
And I wouldn’t mind
And I would be just fine the rest of my life
The rest of my life, the rest of my..
I wanna rise and shine
I wanna slip and slide
I wanna lift the weight of worry off my mind
I wanna wake up fine
Teach myself to treat me kind
I wanna lift the weight of worry off my mind

Do you remember us apart?
I wouldn't know where to start
In a made up castle
I was such a little asshole
I was a child
I remember being torn apart
Sometime back at the start
They took my blanket
They were scared of what I'd do with all the loose ends
I'll keep trying on days like these
I’ll keep trying on days like these
For a warm hand I can hold at night
When I don't feel alright
And monsters bite
It's just a way to justify being afraid
It’s just a way to justify being afraid
It’s just a way to justify being afraid
and find something else to believe in

I could just keep my mouth shut
But We just can’t afford to say nothing
Or let others assume what they want to
When people who we love are hurting
How much could we lose?
I’m learning how to change my nature
When I think about how it stays when I let hatred weave it’s way
Into my my sight and psyche
How it copies and copies
Until I hurt everyone that I see as the other
(As the other half, as the other)
I couldn’t hear them calling on me to listen
Without my my mind talking
“People who you love are dying
What more can you lose?”
I’m learning how to change my nature
When I aim to embrace the pain hidden beneath the hate
Without my my mind talking
People who I love are dying
All for the freedom to do whatever you’d like
Free of reaction to your best intentions
Nothing’s worth the freedom we pay
When saying something comes too late

Two Truths
05:00
|

|
I’ve been circling the drain of the truth
I thought I saw you there
Treading, struggling
Shedding all you’d been through
Everything that you knew then
Until I know it’s right
Until it’s memorized
A wave of calming jerks the line
That’s tethering my peace of mind
Be still
Dont say a word, just listen
You can hold everything that glistens
In time
Slept through the bad again
I’ve been juggling the weight of the truth
I thought I saw you there
Dwelling, wondering
If you knew better then, would it be any different
If I know it’s right
If it’s memorized
A wave of doubt that floods my mind
cradles me into the light
Be still
Dont say a word, just listen
You can hold everything that glistens
In time
