eyelids 02:53
bend the middle finger back until it breaks save the knuckle for a piece of jewelry. you always loved a sentimental souvenir, what a better place and time but here. you ripped the skin off of my eyelids you awoke me from a dream. you dug the nails out of the nape of my neck the sentiment translated nonetheless. bend the middle finger back until it breaks save the bone to stir your coffee. you always loved a sentimental souvenir, what a better place and time but here. you ripped the skin off of my eyelids you awoke me from a nightmare. you dug the nails out of the nape of my neck the sentiment translated nonetheless.

ship jumping 02:30
cut your hair short, keep your nails long, cut yourself short, and feel god-awful. find something worthwhile and soon abandon it. lose your sense of self again you almost had it. who was I yesterday reading an empty page? jumping from ship to ship not really sure if it's anything more than a passing feeling, a face I can't place but means something I can't quite put my finger on. cut your hair short and keep your nails long. cut your hair short, keep your nails long, cut yourself short, and feel god-awful. find something worthwhile and soon abandon it. lose your sense of self again you never had it. who was I yesterday writing an empty page? jumping from ship to ship not really sure if it's anything more than a passing feeling, a face I can't place but means something I can't quite put my finger on. cut your hair short and keep your nails long.

when we were kids we found a stairwell hidden behind piles of junk in the storage room at church. we found room after room abandoned frozen in time. with sheet music still on the choir chairs, missing floorboards, a pool table discarded mid-game. that night I dreamt there was a monster in the chapel; we ran upstairs trying to escape. and now the whole thing feels distant like a dream. the kind you try to keep yourself awake to keep from falling back into. everything is disassociated like the space before you fall asleep and forget who you are. when I was thirteen I saw pike's peak. took a picture at the top, I hid the camera so that nobody could see. I kept ever pencil, trinket, and hotel key in a box next to my bed and sat up every night consumed with the nostalgia. the trip was mostly uneventful but there was something about those memories.. and now the whole thing feels distant like a dream. the kind you try to keep yourself awake to keep from falling back into. everything is disassociated like the space before you fall asleep and forget who you are.

breathe 03:36
breathe in so you can stay alive. breathe in so you don't suffocate. breathe in because you realize. that it no longer resonates. nothing ever stays the same. I woke up from another dream that changed the way I feel about everything.

Susan's down there by the creek talking about snakes again and Tim is out there humoring her about as much as he can. that night I went to sleep feeling like shit again ain't it funny now that's how it always is. and I've got this sentimental feeling I can't quite put my finger on. the next night we went to Kenny's house, now she's drunk again and we don't know how. so she stays the night. we all stay the night. Virginia makes us breakfast in the morning, she cooks the bacon just right. and I've got this empty feeling I can't quite put my finger on. when I was fifteen years old someone told me where I'd die now I go back there every year just to try and prove them right. but it never happens, oh well maybe next time.
