I stay drunk
I don't fuck
I just fuck up
I don't think
I just do
can I please
think about you?
you're a star
caught in a spiderweb
a view of the sky
above a child's head
of all the things I should have said
this is how I think about you
tie a star around your neckwe're all aloneMore Like This
she says
it doesn't matter
how we got to be this way
we're in the car
the radio screams
in the headlights
the rain is like teeth
we're so close
I think only one of us breathes
two-thirds water
we come inside and swim
till the water drains away
leaving just the candy wrappers
of open hearts
tie a star around your neck
she says
just as tight
as you like
girl, disconnectedsunday nightMore Like This
quiet as reflective thoughts
on forgotten gods
sunday night
nothing moves
nothing speaks
every time I blink
someone sneaks in
and changes the lightbulbs
75 watt to 40 to 15
(and the ghosts throw their black coats
into the corners
and come and blanket me)
the phone cord is thick
bunched and grey as a spine
I have lost mine
in this line of slumping days
your name is home
in this vacant lung
would you speak to me?
sunlight through the pinholes in the receiver
please don't give back the rings
I waited for you
(I've got nothing else to do)
your name is home
in this vacant lung
