The Moon 02:53
lemon water in a paper cup I cross the street from where you grew up time is a thing that happens when we touch it took me six months to rebuild the moon from the pieces of it that I texted you now I just have to figure out how to be myself how to be glad how to be alone start a band with acoustic guitars make a loud noise to find where you are store it on hard drives in a million rooms wireless hands on a wireless face come down to touch me from outer space there were nights when I just wanted to be like you to be a girl to be the moon lemon water in a paper cup I cross the street from where you grew up time is a thing that happens when we touch it took me six months to find the moon from the pieces of it that I texted you now I just have to figure out how to be myself how to be glad how to be alone

we were the teenage drama queens smoking in the bathroom when we shouldn't be getting high between the restroom walls under quarantine waiting for the semester to fall to fall to fall through to infinity you and I can't decide we changed our minds all the time between abilify (change your mind) and suicide (change your mind) we change our minds we change our minds you changed your mind I was stumbling toward middle age hiding in a movie theater with the money I made getting high between the restroom walls and through the movie screen collecting all my missed calls for eternity because you and I can't decide we change our minds all the time between abilify or suicide change your mind

Butterflies 02:00
after the next band plays then I might have another cigarette while you check on the internet and tell me about your day I’ve got on my favorite disguise but only you ever recognize I’m hiding so call me out call me call me out it’s been so long since we got high the art of hiding in plain sight my sister’s doing okay my mom said she took herself to the hospital she knew that she needed help that’s better than she was last year when the angels came and told her lies and filled her veins with butterflies I pulled them out I pulled them out I pulled them out and now I’m tired and I want to die in your eyes hide me in plain sight

The Universe 03:06
make another promise to yourself if one of those assholes doesn't treat you well he can fuck himself he can't see you at all it's a ladder to you but to him it's a wall we go driving round in my fantasy it's you the moon and the wifi and me offer a cigarette to the sky it doesn't have to worry because it's never going to die and we cruise like that through the universe making something valuable out of the hurt that's how you work I know you know to be vulnerable is the way to be powerful in the time before we die you cried I starved til I disappeared it rained sometimes the coast was never clear in the time before we die talking in tongues with boys and girls I slept alone at the end of the world meet me in the bright spot of the screen we pass it back and forth until we know what it means some of them are finally starting to see it's a spectrum no one has to be one thing from your hands to your feet to our breath in the air there was a gender once and now it's not there meanwhile at the end of our lives what we will we be if we never tried I know you know we're not coming back we talk talk talk here comes a heart attack for everyone that we love our sisters always in the hospital our brothers walk in endless circles in the time before we die you starved I dreamed I might disappear it rained sometimes the coast was never clear in the time before we die I'm singing nothing can stop us now mom and dad and everyone we care about in the time before we die from my mouth to the texts to the words in my chest in the end you were the one who knew me best

Philosophy 02:27
touching pages moonlight in phases UFO touchdown new phone breakdown drama late night I wait all night with flashbacks cigarettes and another cigarette no regret on both sides space time your mouth on my mind that time I told you everything now you're the one who knows full moon through windows I read and let go of movie screens philosophy of getting high psychology of old friends and new plans of breakdowns your hands photographs that disappear my body faraway from here a UFO a spotlight change me change my life come back for me or I'll die or I'll die come back for me because you're the one who the only one who you're the one who knows

Neurons 02:54
I see you on my phone sometimes when whatever happens to cross your mind flies across the universe where all our words combine with stars whatever I am with whatever you are and what you said hangs in the air waiting for your dad to see it there it's hard to know what makes him up when the people we love get tangled in us all the neurons in your mind spell out ideas with the neurons in mine it's hard to know what makes us up when the people we lose get tangled in us and what you said hangs in the air waiting for your dad to see it there maybe he'll never understand but it's still his hands inside your hands like your mother's face sleeping under your face even after she has gone away I see you on my phone sometimes and I feel your time inside my time it's hard to know what makes you up when the people we love get tangled in us it's hard to know what makes us up when the people we lose get tangled in us
