Asia

I fear my own thoughts and it’s becoming clear
Just like you, I cower in fear at the sound of shouts
I don’t wanna be here
But my pain isn’t real
I just can’t imagine how you feel, Asia
Please stand by
I don’t feel safe
I feel my time withering away
Just like you, I fear touch
Everything’s fast and I feel too much
So please just stay
Until these feelings go away, Asia
Please hold me
They’re after me
They’re everywhere
They know my name
Please stand by
They’re coming near
I can hear their plans
I’m captive by fear
So please just stay
Until these voices go away, Asia
At the end of the day
Oh, I just wanna feel okay, Asia

Topiary
02:40
|

|
Sticking through the fall
But who’s dragging my feet?
I’m stuck to the ground
Elbows across my face
But who’s pulling the strings,
When the ends don’t match the means?
All cuts are in line
And everything is just going fine
Severed heads in a line
You took your chance to give up,
Now this is mine
Living through it all
Even though it kills me
To be a brick weighing down your wings
So cut me out of your topiary
Where everything is fine
Except for me
Smiling through my hell
Even though I’m burning
I’m just a brick weighing down your wings
So cut me out of your topiary

Park Benches

Parks don’t always have benches
Laying down beside my corpse
I forget everything that I say
Everyone is sleeping
And I’m wide awake

Myself
02:28
|
|||
|
People change
In time I will change
But my faults keep me in the past when they haunt me
People move to different cities
Well, why do I feel so distant from everyone around me?
Please don’t leave
Where are you going?
She said that we couldn’t last with the distance
Well, I agree
But it’s not the distance
Something more insidious has been haunting me:
I’m losing myself

Inadequate
03:27
|
|||
|
Words never exist
Laying here like this
Stuck behind myself
Drowning in your help
Bleak and without taste
iIt's just another phase
All alone outside
Flat under the sky
Stuck inside myself
Drowning in your help
Bury it in your words
Nothing seems to work
Just above the trees
I look down at me
I see someone else
Walking by themself
Words are always faint
Nothing seems to change

Faint Touch
02:19
|
|||
|
It takes a lot just to be here
Can you stop it?
I can’t feel it
Running around your faint touch
I can’t feel your faint touch
I close my eyes when it happens
I want to love you
But then it comes back
Running around your faint touch
I can’t feel your faint touch

Autumn Dusk
02:11
|
|||
|
Slide across the table find
Voices cracked under the pine
Closet
Face
Touches crave
Autumn dusk
Aching shoulders brushing by
Leaving just before you cry
Into your sleeve
Now autumn leaves stand next to me
Weighted by my knees
Wither with the leaves

This Time
03:42
|
|||
|
Slow down, you’re walking fast
Bridges burn in spent horizons
Slow down, you’re talking fast
Thoughts obscure in frantic disarray
I just want things to be quiet
Just for a while
Wake up and smell the fear
Your name is written in poison
Run away, go far from here
Withdrawn to lack of structure
I just want things to be quiet
Just for a while
Fractured bone fragments
I can’t make it better this time
And I have so many questions
I don’t have the answers this time
|

Waiting
02:58
|
|||
|
Waiting at your door
I don’t see you anymore
Calling out your name
I haven’t been sleeping
Crying by myself
There’s paper everywhere
Crying “I hate myself,
I’ll go to hell and see you there”

Sheep Skin
02:33
|
|||
|
I feel so naked without my sheep skin
I put it on when you’re not around
I feel so naked because under it there is nothing
I feel so naked without my sheep skin
I hang it up and let it all hang out
I feel so naked because when you’re not here I don’t know who I am
Under sheep skin I am nothing
I feel so guilty when I say your name because I don’t have a name anymore
Every part of my former self is expiring
Now every night when I turn to my right instead I see the life I’ve built for myself as I submit to the nothingness claiming my body
Under sheep skin I am nothing
I don’t know anything
All i know is I love you
I am nothing
All i know is I love you
I don’t know anything
All I know is I love you
Under it all is just someone who’s in love with you
It’s so weird
Honey I still love you
