There's people breaking hearts
Across the empire state
Mothers trying to convince
Daughters they're safe
Fathers helping sons
Plan their first dates
The wind creeping through
The shutters today
With the cigarette smoke
I float to the left
Didn't want to say I knew
That I know me best
Til I put it to the test
But it's all apparent now
Searching for freedom
Pound by pound
I guess its good cause I can travel around
Going town to town making new sounds
Listen to the stars
Watch the moon from the ground
I don't know to what it amounts
But if freedom is all that counts
Then I'm drowning in the clouds
Higher than the whole city
So if it's you and me
That you really dont need
And if you love something
You should make it happy
Then there's nothing left
To do but for me to just leave
Through the door Im going out
Even though I know some day
That I'll prove you wrong
The bird is in the cage
But she's singing a song
I knew it all along
My wings are all I need
Only I can make me happy

Do you want to lay with me
So we can watch the storm
Unfold as the skies destroy
The ground with the lights
Bouncing, purple off the windows
While the lyricist blasts his
Constant philosophy in my ears
Crying about some road where
His lost lover lived and they
At some point kissed at a
Moment just like this
Legs soaking, but wrapping Together as lips press and
Maybe she was crying or
That was just the clouds
Watching something so
Instinctually beautiful as
A mouth on a mouth
Three lights bouncing
In the distance like
Lonely sailors on the sea
Watching stars with loved
Wives waiting
And there's a kid here who
Tells me about the universe
The government, and the power of symmetry, like an artist with
A brush he paints galaxies in front of me, from almost nothing
And here I am thinking on a level
Wider than names and faces
Beyond continents and places
This beat is the very essence of
My being, like rhythm
Pouring from heaven
If there were to be such a thing
I suppose I would find it here
Or in cassadega
Where they all went too
While that tree in the distance
Gets further still
"I can travel now you know"
She said as if picking
A thorn from her shoe
Flicked her cigarette,
Spit and walked away
Let that burning ember
In the grass stay
Because if one of us has to go
Say good bye to me today
So we can watch the storm
Unfold as the skies destroy
The ground with the lights
Bouncing, purple off the windows
While the lyricist blasts his
Constant philosophy in my ears
Crying about some road where
His lost lover lived and they
At some point kissed at a
Moment just like this
Legs soaking, but wrapping Together as lips press and
Maybe she was crying or
That was just the clouds
Watching something so
Instinctually beautiful as
A mouth on a mouth
Three lights bouncing
In the distance like
Lonely sailors on the sea
Watching stars with loved
Wives waiting
And there's a kid here who
Tells me about the universe
The government, and the power of symmetry, like an artist with
A brush he paints galaxies in front of me, from almost nothing
And here I am thinking on a level
Wider than names and faces
Beyond continents and places

Let that burning ember
In the grass stay
Because if one of us has to go
Say good bye to me today

I dont have emotions
Emotions are for
Shit artists
Who paint lines with razor blades on mirrors
Emotions are for women who feel
The weight of the world in their hearts
But have nothing in their heads
Irrational, fleeting, love is nothing but beating
Your own soul down
We come in alone and sobbing
We leave solitarily weeping
Lost lands, lips, hands, hips and words
I wont waste on you
When I breathe my last breath
Let the emptiness linger like dew
Because Im already dead
When it comes to you
Emotions are for
Shit artists
Who paint lines with razor blades on mirrors
Emotions are for women who feel
The weight of the world in their hearts
But have nothing in their heads
Irrational, fleeting, love is nothing but beating
Your own soul down
We come in alone and sobbing
We leave solitarily weeping
Lost lands, lips, hands, hips and words
I wont waste on you
When I breathe my last breath
Let the emptiness linger like dew
Because Im already dead
When it comes to you

My Roommate On Break Ups
"Matt I swear to god, if you friendship break up with Desiree right now, I will pin you down with my legs, and force the bong water down your throat. The anger flowing in my blood will give me the strength of one thousand men."

Remember when you used to
Love me like rain on a day
That you wanted to go out
Pouring from the sky
So you never leave the house
You used to love me like
Ink pours from a pen
Like lines flow from my head
You used to love me like
Fog on glass, when finger prints
Make hearts, what will you do
When you see the hearts I've
Left imprinted on your car
When you hear the songs I
Wrote just to get you along
When I reach over in the
Middle of the night and
Grab nothing but air
Thats when I know you'll
Want me there
I miss you
Of course
If I didn't that'd be stupid
I'll survive
Of course
I'm not what you make of me
I'm not this weakness
You think I might be
So go ahead
Give up
Just leave
When 2 am hits
And you still cant sleep
Roll over in bed
Reach for me
Love me like rain on a day
That you wanted to go out
Pouring from the sky
So you never leave the house
You used to love me like
Ink pours from a pen
Like lines flow from my head
You used to love me like
Fog on glass, when finger prints
Make hearts, what will you do
When you see the hearts I've
Left imprinted on your car
When you hear the songs I
Wrote just to get you along
When I reach over in the
Middle of the night and
Grab nothing but air
Thats when I know you'll
Want me there
I miss you
Of course
If I didn't that'd be stupid
I'll survive
Of course
I'm not what you make of me
I'm not this weakness
You think I might be
So go ahead
Give up
Just leave
When 2 am hits
And you still cant sleep
Roll over in bed
Reach for me

Tooty baby
Come home
I know we didn't match
But I thought we were happy
I feel lied to baby
Duck ponds, whole towns
Malls, stores, beds-
comfort
Lost to you
I told myself this would never happen
I hope I don't fall down that road again
Oh just leave because youre afraid of some addiction
One that didn't even exist yet
yet
No I won't prove you right
Because you weren't
You lost sight
Thought you were dealing with another mind
And I kept saying I was sick of stagnancy
But god damn I am so lonely
Come home
I know we didn't match
But I thought we were happy
I feel lied to baby
Duck ponds, whole towns
Malls, stores, beds-
comfort
Lost to you
I told myself this would never happen
I hope I don't fall down that road again
Oh just leave because youre afraid of some addiction
One that didn't even exist yet
yet
No I won't prove you right
Because you weren't
You lost sight
Thought you were dealing with another mind
And I kept saying I was sick of stagnancy
But god damn I am so lonely
1259 wake up write.
What if no one else
Ever loves me as much
As you did when you
Faked it
Did you fake it?
Or did you just fall out
You felt it a little this morning
But I bet you still feel relieved
I guess it's better
I shouldn't want some one
Who doesn't want me
I think at this point
I'm done hurting
I won't ever let
Another man
Do this
To me
Ever loves me as much
As you did when you
Faked it
Did you fake it?
Or did you just fall out
You felt it a little this morning
But I bet you still feel relieved
I guess it's better
I shouldn't want some one
Who doesn't want me
I think at this point
I'm done hurting
I won't ever let
Another man
Do this
To me
