All teethy smiles it seems, shy dog eyes reflecting shy dog eyes We are mirrors and our pupils are glossy with chilly tears drawn from sailing bikes Out of mouth comets a light and we share it Each a puzzle piece tearing for fun and panting at trying so hard I'd let you have it if you want but we both know it makes us wag To tense up and let go, so face facts So it goes, don't let go of your hair So it grows, don't let go of your teeth So it shows, don't let go And when the time comes ask it for a chance It might make you beg, so learn your trick and tell him "I won't take no" Our masters are walking, our legs are awkward I am talking the release of a dog backwards barking, a jargonish banter (Juggernaut panther) Our mouths are moving, our hands are distant I am wincing at a sun I am not used to seeing, we kiss too often in darkness And an absence that is filling your stomach and questions I sometimes need answered But I don't mind when I'm close I see a craving in your dilation And I agree and I am screaming it back at you in your own reflection

Everybody grows a beard eventually Soon enough shaves it off Builds a time machine Draws a bunch of cartoons Takes cold showers Loses their awareness Acts like a camel Then they grow a beard again and forget That they grew it out the first time They never did Yeah they think they never did Everybody shaves their head eventually Soon enough grows it out Throws away their couch Plans another road trip Takes on Sephiroth Thinks about what they should’ve said to their crush Then they shave their head again and forget That they shaved it off the first time They never did Yeah they—never did

Not a Film 06:34
I can’t look I am face forward flying through Russian mountains Thrilling the senses The consensus is if we reach the summit Without slowing I’ll be lifted free on victory's shoulders So that I could see above my father’s beard Into the eyes I find I leave so much of me behind in other eyes Human beings don’t want everyone else to be human beings So I treat you like one but that doesn’t mean I’m not a human being You’re just sweet, you’re just a lucky one for the time being When the time being is done with you I go back to seeming like just another human being Robert, please, look at me See that this all a waste if you let it be Don’t be mean, speak a little more and try to be something better than a human being Rise above, rise above me, tattoo it on me Rise above, rise above me, get away from me On ne peut pas traiter tous les humains comme des humains Et tu m’as dis “c’est pas un film, les meme regles s’applique dans toutes les langues, je suis Juste une fille, juste une fille douce Tu vois quand tu te dèbarasse du bruit Tu m’as dis “c’est pas un film, it’s not a film, it’s not a film, it’s not a film...” Robert, please, look at me See that this all a waste if you let it be Don’t be mean, speak a little more and try to be something better than a human being Rise above, rise above me, tattoo it on me Rise above, rise above me, get the fuck away from me In Aix I found out why easy In exile choose my eyes wisely In Aix I'll choose my eyes wisely Into the eyes I find I leave so much of me behind in other eyes

Snowed In 06:23
greg: I was snowed in at Tyler’s house I couldn’t come tell you how I felt I dreamed I wrote you a letter then I gave it to the wrong girl, now I live with it Swim with it Oh, but by the warm morning after the snow had blown from the blocking Get up! Now I face it Swim with it I just don’t see why we don’t talk, there’s a closure I’m seeking Get up! Now you face it Swim with it I know don’t know an answer but I do feel it coming closer to a point where I could kiss it I dreamed it may be for the better Ty said a kiss is for the books and I think it applies I know what I deserve But could I be something better? kenny: Confusing the hours with seconds again, aaahhh! Compounding the hours the second we met It's okay you're not sick, I feel it too If we fall asleep, then we'll die, I know, I know Laughing eyes all wide across the room I'm sick, can't handle my heart high, no But the sunrise hides night highs so low It's just those so cold shivers yet heart's so warm Should you let your guard down I'll see your hypochondria Should I let my guard down You'd see my heart-highchondria Just one more tunnel of our eyes Before we die in our sleep When I get dragged to my head by my INFP Now I can't speak If I could I'd just ask If you would ditch your life and live with me Confusing the hours with seconds again, aaahhh I liked you more under what I showed I liked you more under all this snow tyler: I know where time goes To stitches sewn; a tux To flowers grown; and cut and tossed To the side of the road Where his car was kissed And his body thrown So it's me And you're you And it's me For you

Tired Fists 01:56
It's gone back; you look good under a sunbrella And it's sucking at your cheeks I'm kind of Jealous but it just wants your freckles I'll let it Kiss you, if you promise to come back when My fingers graze your hands, I won’t shiver and quit Now we carry what we’ve lost in our fists Warm on our memories, digits dancing down your wrist When the time’s right I’ll nudge you to drop when

No More 19 07:29
No more nineteen I've fallen down Do you sense your purpose inside her mouth? I remember happy but it feels so good to frown If I head north someday I can taste that sound There's only so much you can figure out But you'll make equal signs until you make em count Did you kiss her face before you fucked her mouth? Play the child games and you'll be down and out No more nasty I've gotta shut my mouth Elbows off the table I've figured out I won't be so shallow even to myself If I can find my 'flower' I'd be picked from the ground
