Oh, echoes
All around me
Straddling my brain
The two sides of my head
Seem to do the same
Obsession over thoughts
Drip into chalk
Angels fit the mold
I’m feeling rather cold
Oh, echoes
Surrounding me
Astounding me
Following me
Could you be my in and out
Tonight?

Lying on the grass
The sunshine warms me up
This feeling won’t last
What’s becoming of us
Its beginning to feel
A lot like Los Angeles
All this pressure
Coming down on us
I feel sunburned
My face is flushed
Let the world turn
The sun is rushed
The night falls suddenly
And all the world is cool
The darkness takes
And everything is new

I thought I saw Venus
In the night
It was big, yellow,
And so bright
I tried to find mars
That night
But I couldn’t place it
Among the stars in the sky
I’m barely here
Inside my head
I’m barely here
Inside my head
Spread out thin
Stay in bed
Spread out thin
Stay in bed
Close the blinds
I’m sleeping in
It still feels like
Chemicals kicking in
Close the blinds
I’m sleeping in
It still feels like
Chemicals kicking in
I remember
The reflection
Of the moon
Was so clear
On the water where
We sat on the pier
I remember you said you wanted
To stay with me
I remember
But I can’t believe you’re still here

Ahab

I spent a couple months deep in the winter
My frost-bitten hands all had splinters
It was there I met my fisherman Ahab
Wasn’t sure but I took a stab
Yes I tried, but I didn’t try enough
Yes I lied, but I was trying to stop
Yes I cried, but it wasn’t that much
Yes I tried, or maybe not
It made me realize that some people hate
It made me forget what had made me
Just remember that it’s all my fault
Just remember that it’s all my fault
