Winter Sunburn

were you waiting for the shade
to swallow you up
and give you praise
for simply waiting for the time to turn
but all you got was a winter sunburn
you're in the same place again
you've been fighting off sleep
the colder months
how they reach so deep
and pull the blankets from your feet
you toss and turn clenching your jaw
'til your gums bleed
you're in the same place again
are you running out again?
running out of time to spend
you're in the same place again.

Another Way

i spent those nights
on an air mattress
watching men's gymnastics
in my parents' living room
rinse and repeat my days
to a silent heartbeat
hoping one day i'll be okay.
but it's been seven years
of trying to lose these tears
to be bold enough to find another way
but it's been seven years
of losing what i hold dear
i'm not bold enough to find another way
i spend my nights
with the same song on repeat
trying to move my feet
towards the things out of my reach
rinse and repeat my days
to your silent heartbeat
i know, one day, you thought i'd be okay
but it's been a shitty year
of losing what i hold dear
but they say i'm old enough to find another way
yeah, it's been a shitty year
of swallowing all my tears
i quit the life i had to find another way.

buy a ticket to Alaska
sell my car and say goodbye
i'll draw the outline of your feet
as i walk along the tree line
and it's all i see
i don't want to end this badly
sold the last of your belongings
i hope they're able to feel your life
sifted through your clothes
wear them like memories and let the last of you go
and it's all i see
i don't want to end this badly
the last thing you spoke
as time slowly pressed
on your throat
"What's happening to me?"
and it's all i see
you had to end so badly
and it's all i see
so i'm afraid to feed your memory
what's happening to me?
i don't feel right.

At the End

6 a.m. and i'm calling you up again
to talk about the devil dancing in my head
i know i've failed you before
i know we're at the end
it'd just be nice to hear a friend again.
10 p.m. and i'm in my car again
i guess going out can't bend
my stubborn tongue to talk again
i know we lost a hard one,
i know you've got your plans
it'd just be nice to hear your voice again.
another new year in the crowd again
these kids with cigarettes burn holes into their skin
they say they'll grow old
and carry scars with them
but they'll still wake up in the dusty mountain air again
6 a.m. and i'm calling you up again
to talk about the devil dancing in my head
i know i've failed you before
i know we're at the end
it'd just be nice to hear your voice again.

The Things We Lose

i can't remember a time
when i felt alright
there's a gold cross on my wall
they told me to keep it close
so i stare at it every night now
just hoping to see your ghost
you were right all along
it's the things we lose that make us feel alone
if you would come back now
i think you'll find
that everything might be alright
if you'd just come back now
i hope you'll find
that i'm just trying to live my life
i can't remember a time
when you weren't just outside
now this house feels a little colder
and your love still hangs over our shoulders
like we left something behind
kissed your forehead and said goodbye
you were right all along
it's the things we lose that make us feel alone
if you would come back now
i think you'll find
that everything might be alright
if you'd just come back now
i hope you'll find
that i'm just trying to live my life.
