i’ve worked hard for my solitude
can’t just give it up, hand it over to you
so the moment passes and i’m still standing still
been trying all these times but i’ve had my fill
it’s a failure to finish off every page in the past
keeps on coming, keeps coming right on back
it’s all of these best laid plans
and how they penetrate
every hand i try and hold
hold up to the light
somehow never fits, never fits quite right
think i’ll make my way back out again tonight
it’s a weight to carry, and i won’t
it’s a lead to bury, and i don’t
it’s a weight to carry, and i won’t
it’s a lead to bury, and i don’t
can you feel the restlessness that burns in me?
it’s a fire that flickers deep
are you just the flame to my gasoline?
and i wanna know
what could you have ever expected of me?
where exactly did you think this would lead?
we could travel a million days on a million streets
and still you see, oooh, you see
how the feeling, how it escapes from me
i’ve worked hard for my solitude,
don’t think i’ll be handing it over to you

hate the way you say hello
don’t want you to stay but i don’t want you to go
take all the ways i told you so
stepping wide and sailing out the window
off of the sidewalk and into the street
i can dress up like the freak that you need me to be
but the days still bleed like broken teeth
into one another exactly like each other
and i'm feeling like you’re fading when i try to make you mine
you know i’m silver sad waterproof and wasting all my time
baby insecurity comes across like insincerity
you’re doing backflips for cans of beans
and i'm holding out my hat and looking kinda mean
you're only ever sorry when you make yourself sick
turn yourself around and forget it all quick
ridiculous when you do it all again
forward charades and i’m tired of those games
you're talking up a storm while you're promising to quit
so you tie your tongue in knots just to keep it in your lips
but the days still bleed like broken teeth
into one another exactly like each other
and i'm feeling like you’re fading when i try to make you mine
you know i'm silver sad waterproof and wasting all my time

will you write poems out of my grief,
and rub my back when i lose my teeth?
will you paint me a portrait
from the slings and arrows
of my outrageous fortune?
will you lift the bricks up from my back
and build a home with the tools i lack?
will you strike the sorrow down from my skies,
no telling me how or asking me why?
will you just let me be when i need to be me?
and when my eyes go colourblind,
colour in the world for me?
will you find the fairytale inside my failure,
speak to me of certainties when my step is unsure?
will you sing a sweet melody
to my cracked and crumbling body?
still hold me
still love me
still love me
when i forget how to tell time
when my memory ceases to rewind
when i'm slowly losing my mind?
will you still be mine?
