Lettering - New Lungs

We were born with such bad lungs
It’s a hassle to speak sometimes
Am I just killing off my insides?
I’m bracing for one to collapse
Unhealthy habits are kept to a minimum
On my way to come collect your from your practicum
It gets me out of the house
Some fresh air inside wilted lungs
I am the canines on the corners of my four front teeth
I’m biting hard, they grew apart and refused to meet
I’m twisting, fidgeting on the surface of my velcro seat
I see the opening, its vacancy but I’ve lost the keys

Could you recall
Watching the storms roll in
From the apartment window
Met you in early spring
Nose still flushed from
A brand new piercing
We ran in our bare feet
Stepping on grass
and conjuring dreams
Oh, how could you have the nerve?
To put my name on your lips
To define what you deserve
And do you remember when
You would ask me so soft
So sure that no one heard:
“Will there be fireworks at this funeral?”
A Joke that only we would would know
When will we realize
That life’s better improvised?
You claim that it’s catharsis
Just absent feelings tied to hollow words
You claim that it’s catharsis
Should have known those string never really worked
///
Maybe I’ll bite my wrists
And sink my canines through my skin
Performing a ritual
And bring you back to life
Maybe I’ll bite my wrists
And sink my canines through my skin
Interrupting the rest
And putting a curse on my life

Dive - Inside Out

Feet stuck on the ceiling
cant get back to solid ground
no matter what I try
head stuck in the clouds
never thought about the hurt
focused on your words
think of me, am I your only curse?
Everyday
My mind wanders on the past
and what it meant to feel alright
take my head
turn my whole world inside out
inside out
can I go back in time
I just haven't felt the same
since the come down
everything has changed
need your pick me up
take me back to better days
when I made you smile
and mind wasn't cast away
Look hard and you'll find me
lost in my own thoughts
but don't try to save me
you'll only cause more harm
don't try to save me
don't try to save me
