Wish that you were here to alleviate the fear in my chest, when I feel that I'm the worst and the best in a corner of the earth. Not everything's about this, but everything it is. And I don't try to wrap my head around it I just take it as it is. Only need your reassurance everybody is insane. Wanna speak our secret language, wanna pick your special brain. Only you can understand me but you're no where to be found. When I look at everything around me your presence is abound.

I don't like it when you lose the key to the golden locket that holds me dreams. I can't get another like the other did and I can't uncover scrambled visions. And I cannot tell if it's you or me that live inside this haunted cabin that keeps recurring. I can't remember what I used to do that made it easy to meet you deep inside the woods. Now I'm lost in wonder, wandering for years and I found new sneakers that I thought were yours. And I cannot tell if you've already left this haunted place between life and death. The rendezvous I missed.

Twin Peaks 03:01
Stay with me a while this could be the night We're making out watching Twin Peaks I'd say its time to flip down the screen and turn out all the lights. You've stayed till 4 AM now I'd say you should just stay the night. Walk with me a time falling through the ice you're great at talking to me though I did have a dream that we were petting my cat and we started making out. You wanna make my dreams come true? Cuz girl you know that I do.

Carryon 04:17
Faded in the sun ignored by everyone passing by you in a truck the likes of which struck you. And in another month you won't even be a smell seeping up into my nostrils reminding me of what I am. Living along with phenomena that makes me wanna ride again living alone with my brother Jonah decomposed in time again who's the lucky one? Lucky bones that crack and grow up strong in time again holding my own hoping to grow old and open to the sun again Melting in the rain a pile of mush again legs folded underneath intestines in the brains vultures gathered round the one laid on the ground they circle as I pass by to see if I will last or die. I've been left out, struck by something other than a moving vehicle I can pronounce some or other words on dying lips of animals speaking to me every other minute that I see carrion feeling the rain and another reason to keep up the pedaling.

Highways are my life I can't find how to get around or through.

Hold my skin hold my spirit closer in to the mystery of the tiny mysterious universe Anything important Im forgetting you the version that I introduced from you to me to you to me to you. Never heard of liking it for me to hold you in one arm and tell you that I've lost it in a new magnetic field. Roll me o topple to the moon I don't you know. Let me go circumambulate the globe. Reposition your old magnitude into a new magnetic field oh I converted it a long, long time from here you're the same old person that I am the same old person that I left before I thought i knew forever on your own. We can be together, ok. In storm or whether or not, we need each other always at least we now I know.

RememBer 00:30
I'm gonna try to remember this moment for the rest of my life.

Cocoon 04:26
I remember the elevator down the hallway into your cocoon. You were sleeping I was playing trying to laugh cuz there was nothing left to do. Other families walking past me, never speaking, nothing to say. Having no one understanding the only way through is my own way. Now that we've been through we can do anything look at the leaves like you'll never be the same hold your hands to me my whole family one last time before you slip through the grain. In the hospice songs are only way to push what you have to do no more medicine, no recovery, no more loved ones, only you we can sing your way to the afterlife but we can't sing your way through watch the king's face turn from pale to white feel for his last heartbeat too. Never believed I'd watch you dying now that its happening it weirdly makes sense all that you've shown me wasn't just fantasy my whole life you were preparing me for this.
