i sit in the woods at night
a million living things around me
going through their motions
ask aloud if they feel in control
or if they're like me
at the mercy of another
a stranger, a lover
but i don't think they understand the question
my phone buzzes; it's not you
but if it was, what could i do?
is it too much to hope you'd forget me?
this last year i've just been what you let me
in this moment, i feel sure
this isn't my story anymore
my agency's purely subtextual
i'm a subject to object transexual
i don't know where i will be tomorrow but you do
it's always so transitive
everything comes from you

jealousy
strange heresy
i lie awake at night
love, they say
will find a way
but i can't see the light
i have no more innocence
to sacrifice to you
do you even recognize
what you've turned me into?
call out my name and pull my strings
i'll be whatever you need
your hooks are buried deep in me
talk to me honey and tell me to my face
what you want from me
you're oh so difficult to read
jealousy
strange heresy
i lie awake at night
love, they say
will find a way
but i'm losing my light

no, really, i couldn't

i'm so hungry
can you hear the
inside of me
clinking, empty
hold me open
force it down the
only way to
get it in me
i stand up too
fast and get a
taste of warm
oblivion, i
feel like i'm
fading away i'm
losing all my
critical mass
how long till i learn the sustenance of my own flesh? i'm waiting

i reach for you and you grab my wrist
i'm enchanted by your fingers
the way they grasp and twist
i know that i'm moving too fast
forgive me i'm just scared that this won't last
how can you sit there so calm and collected
when we could be losing this
i just don't get it
i'd wrap myself around you if you could
i spent my dreams last night locked in your grasp
when i wake up without you i'm drowning i'm gasping
i know i would
if i could stick to you
we'd be like the sea in bloom
we'd leave no room
your eyes are fixed straight ahead
i wish you'd watch me instead
maybe it's all in my head
i stumble when you pass me by
don't know how to breathe without you
but i guess i'll try
you're getting further from me each day
if i can't close the distance
will i be okay?
i feel my heart begin to pound and i'm out of time
my fingers shake and i'm not in my right mind
please be kind
don't get me wrong i know you don't owe me anything
and it's okay if to you this is just one more fling
or if it's nothing
when i stick to you
in a crowded room
i feel like it's just us two
but you have other plans
i reach for your hand
and you pull away again

i don't know who i am lately
i keep trying on new personalities but nothing sticks
what's my name?
what's my name???
what's my name??????
i don't know what's a part of me and what i just imported
to avoid getting hurt
or because i love someone
can i really love anyways?
nobody can know me if i don't know myself
and if they don't know me, how can they trust me?
you asked me to fuck you and like that something inside me broke away
and i did it, of course
but i wasn't really there
and the next day when i remembered
i thought, "that can't be me"
so i tried to be the kind of person who would do that
i got mean
i got angry
was all that waiting just beneath the surface?
who am i?
who am i?
who am i?
who am i

what do i want?
is it any
different than what
you want from me?
whatever you
say is what i'm
for i need no
other purpose
i'm all hollow, come and see
how far you can reach inside of me
all i am is
holes inside a
soft warm body
don't you want to
tear the flesh to
make a new one
fuck me in it
cum inside me

unfamiliar ceiling
02:36

i dreamed again that we were together and it was
oh so easy, so easy to smile and be
just to be, oh to be somewhere simple and quiet
and when i woke a song was pounding in my brain
like oh, 1 2 3 1 2 3 6/8 with harmonies, just like your voice was the last time we spoke
so i woke and i wrote every note just for us
for what is and what was, for the last dying embers now
it's so easy
to forget that
i won't wake up
next to you anymore
when we were together
i only had nightmares about you and
maybe i still do but now they
greet me in the morning when i wake
sometimes i feel like those moments in between when i wake up and when i'm aware where i am
are the happiest i ever get
between an unfamiliar ceiling and a weight on my chest
