Bitewing 02:52
I never shouted for you Out of fear of exposure My teeth embedded askew It’s why I never held you closer Hold your name like a cigarette Painting my teeth yellow and my fingers red Had our own tiny spaces to fill You had yours replaced I wear mine On the the front of my face Most days I daydream My pearly whites were as straight as the love bites Gracing your inner thigh You could tell from my bitewing Crooked teeth I understand why they ask What you ever saw in me You left a visible finger print rush of blood to her neck The deepest purple Where your teeth indented their home Left your name our her cheek She let you in but you left that bite on me

I don’t remember your favorite colors anymore They say this is moving on But the ashes you left are still burning warm Let the sound waves drip so calm Past the hair behind your ears and travel down canals And reach your brain loud and clear Is this what you always wanted Im the headlights your the Will I still love you when I wake up? Tried to write you poems Use my foot to send morse code But every line I write dries like litter in the road And if you decompose They’ll find my message in your bones Put on display in museums Your bones are worth your weight in gold I’d write you letters on your stomach like my finger tips were pens But every word I write is pleading to last a second on your skin Wake up when the wind blows Echoes smothering me I want to be the air you leave behind So unrefined Like I’m breathing coal Die on the way to the hospital

Homecoming 05:04
Your head is the house I grew up in I don’t want to see someone home I’m the pain on the walls You can cover me in coats But you’re never at home alone I know you’ve already won You’ve made it so hard to move on Stay where you are Leave me alone I swear I did my best to grow these roses from the ash But the soil it was tainted, the flora couldn’t last The notches I scratched in your bedpost The marker on the door frame to mark my growth And the photo albums planned but never made I burned the house down it stayed that way I always find myself driving through the ruins Smoking my lungs black where our home once stood Your head is the house I grew up in

Re:Finished 04:37
I remember the fairground The roller coasters the ski lift coming down I remember the flashing lights Reflecting off the glaze in your eye I remember the long drive home I remember us getting lost I remember I didn’t care But I could see the fear in your eyes You’ve been running since your feet hit the ground You’ve been begging for reasons to turn this car around Anything to hide from the truth Everyones just as lost as you I watched you paint yourself away I fell in love, You fell into a habit of repeating what you heard Walk all over me you left a body in the dirt Push me out of your life With the air that you breath Tiny moving particles dividing you and me I feel the gravity grabbing my insides I feel the wind on my back I see the world splaying out like an atlas Sleepwalking off the edge of the map

I'm a statue weathered and worn With the ashes from watching bridges burn behind me Salt water swelling my tongue Have you ever made a martyr out of someone you loved? And watched them carry your cross to the top of the hill? Have you ever had to die for someone else's sins? I'm a stranger in the skin I'm in I say I'm getting better I'm just better at blending in I'm at home bleeding out in a river Driving off of bridges cause I get so bitter now She said lock the door when you leave You're making a big mistake
