I salivate

And when the shower water got warmer, the steam started to smell like blood

I salivate

Red on ivory ivory not what it seems

Been dripping all night and I don’t think it’ll stop soon

Perhaps this is unwise? I’ve thought a couple of times

My eyes get grainy as if I’m seeing through sawdust,

My stomach problems still haven’t stopped-

I’ll write you out of interest,

You’d respond in disinterest 

You’ll pack your heart carefully in a wooden box, ask me to hand over the screwdriver 

We could attain immortality as machines? I wouldn’t want that

I can tell that they’re all embarrassed,

They spent a lot of time in the dark

Around 3am thoughts just sound like water crashing,

I would like to stop bleeding 

Inspired consternation

Trauma is a double sided coin- some choose to internalize, others to utilize 

Oh hush, roll your eyes, (pardon the melodrama..)

How does one live through morals?

I’ve been driving the speed limit in order to finish the song 

I can’t solve anything within you; selfish and insistent 

The case you made weighing on my mind, juries still deliberating, and they’re getting hungry, time for lunch break 

Asleep in stagnancy

Aware of it.

When you turned confidently onto that one way road 

I screamed, asked if we had died- but I just had my eyes closed.

Knocking lightly let me in let me in let me in lightly let me in lightly let me come inside 

I plague you by leaning into the lyrics, preferring them to speak for my lazy feelings
