losing my breath

i'm afraid to let go because you're all that i have.

you're already gone. already gone.

the ghost of you haunts my dreams

silk linens wrapped amongst your bone.

we're drunk off of wine in separate rooms alone.


my head is spinning in this world.

stuck in the desert with an imaginary map.


something always takes the pessimist and beats him in me.

wondering if there's hope; it's been lost and it's not where it should be.

something always takes the pessimist and beats him in me.

i don't think i see all the muck and the mire that you see on me.


i walk along your side with our hands intertwined.

you're feet leading mine. feet leading mine.

i've drank your blood in hopes of a cure.

it was the only romantic thing i could think of.

i'm driving drunk in your grace and i'll never lose time.


my head is spinning in this world.

stuck in the desert with an imaginary map.


something always takes the pessimist and beats him in me.

wondering if there's hope; it's been lost and it's not where it should be.

something always takes the pessimist and beats him in me.

i don't think i see all the muck and the mire that you see on me.


all the lonely kids are kept company by their loneliness

all the lonely kids are kept company by their loneliness

i'm here, lonely, searching for you

wandering through the darkness. are you lonely too?


all of these thoughts make me dizzy.

will you come around to straighten me out? straighten me out.

crude conversation always comes with the following dawn.

you're always the greatest listener

but it seems that you lost your voice the day that you told me you love me.


something always takes the pessimist and beats him in me.

wondering if there's hope; it's been lost and it's not where it should be.


all the lonely kids are kept company by their loneliness

i'm here, lonely, searching for you

wandering through the darkness. are you lonely too?
