i woke up wearing only my Crystal Castles shirt

this is what bliss feels like
and i know the room is spinning
and i'm happy to have this in my hand
it's well worth the pain
to wake up smiling
and remember what happened
all over and again.

everything

my body
my eyes
my mind
are tired

this music keeps me breathing
and yet there's always a her
pointless, blatant, disregard
come hither
cold skin
you shiver

looking over your eyelids
and under your back
your collarbones
are beautiful
and your jaw line
divine

i'm glad this is how i decided to spend
my time
with you

samba

sauntering
it's funny that the sun stuck around
now that it's gone again
i'm tired again

ice cubes in a cocktail glass with a cherry on a pick

there are two things that I adore
romance
&
revenge
it's a love ever more

i won't hold a grudge,
but i'll relish the flavor
of making things square
edge to edge
side to side

you dug your grave
and now it's time
to put you in that box
your place under the floorboards
i know that look on your face
it's filled with grandeur
escape
it's those green eyes
and i recognize your despise
when i take someone else's hand
and you just stand there
oh misses cold
you're such a fickle thing

oh misses cold
you know what you're missing
and it's troublesome
but true

oh misses cold
it's alright
i'm done with you

i'm waking up in the summer time
she's kinder
and sweeter
and she sounds so nice
so nice to hear

réverie, c'est bien d'étre içi
allons-y.

you could give me some kind of obligation to stay

shades, scarves, & cigarettes
we are but young vignettes
carry on sweet song
carry on
but I can't
& I won't
if you think you can,
then catch me
like the rain on your tongue
catch me

i'll show you how slow i can go
the air flows freely
through the vents of this old house
in and out
breathe
in and out

you can kiss me now
if you want to

i want you to

chainlink fence

passers by
on their way to somewhere
special or not
they're going

meeting eyes with other passers by
then there's that one person
the last one you wanted to see today
and their eyes meet yours

everything hinders
for a moment
you see something
that you saw once before
but only for a moment

age is just a collective sum of days

just be you
just be happy
and people will see that radiate
and they will be attracted to that alone

so let's lock ourselves up in my quarters
for days on end
as many days as we can muster
as many days as we can stand the scent of each other

studying abroad

i wish to live in france
smoking cigarettes in my boudoir
red wine coursing through my veins

a liquid diet
nothing but bedroom disco here

immortalizing your perfect contours
indulging in the darkest chocolate
that money can buy

i'll get by
on your love
and your love alone

cigarettes on my fingertips

my palms are nervous too
I can see your complexion shimmer
it's rubbing off on me a little bit now
you send I receive
that look about your face
I know it well enough by now
well enough by then

I think I saw someone today
but I'm not sure
because I didn't recognize their smile
not like before
they looked unsure

I was secure
this banana bread is phenomenal
cabernet sauvignon in february

a proper conductor revised

these palms are wings
when you take them
you're flying
these palms are wings
when you take them
you're trying

to find a window to jump out of
to find a piece of drapery to hold on to

wrapping golden threads around your fingertips
it's all paisley & floral
wrapping golden threads around your fingertips
i will see you tomorrow

a guilty scent
nodes through
in drafts
off the ivory
a like the keys
you grace

hearts beat in a pace
delicate notes, I will recognize
every breath escapes your lips
to be immortalized

i know that look well enough by now

i want to walk with you
i want to walk with you
i want to walk with you
i want to walk with you
i want to walk with you
i want to walk with you
i want to walk with you
i can walk to you

the body needs water & air to survive

sunburst chemicals
simple design
it's a prerequisite
your hand in mine

you're breathing water

over those flames
it's so graceful how you do it too

you lean on in,
your whisper on a whim
and your aura flows up and then through

there is frost to a lick
every word, it will stick
to me, and also to you

overcast

i fall asleep
wearing my biggest head phones & thoughts of you
it's sad but true

the epitaph is clear to me now
breathe a word
make a vow

you cunt
you scrunt
you cocky bitch

i've got the itch

the silence to speak
the ladder to peak
the wisdom to seek

musk must be hand made

i love the smell of 3am
the streets are wet and dark and dim
i love the smell of 3am
cigarette lit and burning in my right hand
i love the smell of 3am
walking to my own bed again
