Breathe in
I’ll take your air if you don’t need it
All in
Im never putting my feet on the ground again
Daylight
Ill be your light you’ll be my unrest
no fore sight
Im never here anymore
My car is full of rocks and shells
Empty jars and short farewells
I’m never coming home
I don’t hate you I could never
but I hate him you had better
I don’t hate you its not in me
this is so wrong please believe me
Take me in
Consume and empty out again
Break in
The doors were open why’d you break the windows
Whyd you come down through the skylight, leave me here I know you’re not fine
Who’d you look at in the darkness and see drawn inside your eyelids
i know I’m there somewhere
I know you cant forget me
My brain is full with drops of sea
Breathe the ocean swallow me
I don’t hate you I could never
but I hate him you had better
The lights are off and no one’s home
Im in your empty room alone
Holes in the floor
Nothing more
Too far gone
Give me something to lean on
The lights are off and no one’s home
In your empty room alone
Holes in the floor
Nothing more
And nothing less
Give me something to confess
ivy grows into the cracks and there’s no room for going back
hunting rifles up the stairs, no one lives there no one cares
roofs are where I hear you call, but no one would see me if I fall
I hear your whisper in the trees, carry me home carry me home

bottles and bubbles and cigarette trays
remainders of nuclear growth and decay
sirens they won’t call you home anymore
but that doesn’t mean i’m closing the door
i will start scratching your name off the gate
when you tell me you’re not coming home
take apart all that i built in a day
cover me in ashes i am your pompéi
the keychain it lies on the floor of your room
tear me to pieces, i’ll piece them together
for 30 days i have been looking for you
now you’re found im lost again lost instead
i will stop fixing the holes in the gate
now i know you’re not coming home
i hope it’s enough and i hope its not too late
smother me in silence i am your pompéi
board up the door to a strangers room
nothing smells like your perfume
too many notebooks and not enough authors
confessions of outlaws and prodigal daughters
i will be painting the sky with your name
the stars will guide you home
breathe in the night sky and carve a new canyon
this world was made for you
ask anyone they’ll say rome wasn’t built in a day
gardens take root in the ashes i am your pompéi

porch light? burnt out

Never thought I’d have another bouquet of roses
When I sat mine down on the forest floor
Ducking and weaving through thickets and brambles
Took this long to learn I am a thorn
All of our dreaming and all of our lift off
In a parachute swinging in the breeze from a tree
In a lifeboat headed out to sea
Don't tell me you’ve been looking for me
Da da da da da da dada da
Da da da da da da dada da
Rose colored contact lenses and sending
Postcards like you don’t know I’m home
Choose your own adventure with all the same ending
Please me more than broken bones
I will bide my time
I won’t turn out the porch light

I never realized what it meant to be without you
Now it's all i do and i’m so confused
You are all i see when i close eyes
Lie awake wondering why
Flashing neon signs
I always wondered what you'd do with your life
You turned off the lights
But you shined so bright
Life was never fair and we knew that
Now you’re gone i believe it
With you i couldn’t see it
So I live my life one breath at a time
Breathe you in never said goodnight
I hope it’s warm where you are now
Like a moth to the flame to the smoke you were drawn
Goodbye
Running round flipping paintings on the wall
I admired you
For all that you are
Like a fire you were more than just a spark
I would follow you
You shine through the dark
I always knew you’d go somewhere with your life
Not every soldier can win the fight
My life was such a shame and you knew that
Now you’re gone I can see it
I shouldn’t have believed it
So I live my life one step at a time
Breathe me in I wanna be your light
I hope there’s peace where you are now
A bird who can’t fly, you’ll never leave the ground
And I miss you
And your dreadlock
The way you laughed
When you stole the clock
You blew out the smoke
And breathed in the dust
With you gone it’s hard
It could’ve been any of us
So why do I try when we’re living to die
Breathe in breathe out just a matter of time
I don’t know where we’re headed
You don’t deserve to be the one who’s dead
Goodbye
