What was before from earth,
The same in earth sinks back, and what was sent
From shores of ether, that, returning home,
The vaults of sky receive. Nor does death
So far annihilate things that she destroys
The bodies of matter; but she dissipates
Their combinations, and conjoins anew
One element with others; and contrives
That all things vary forms and change their colours
The world is not Eternal.
-Titus Lucretius Carus

as i lay
swallowed by night
nature takes me as
sacrifice
taste the blood
from your veins
remind yourself
everyone feels pain
i waited for
the dawn
my fingers bled with my
bandages on
i can’t fight through this
no matter how i try
now i’m ready to
lay down and die
always
stalked
my fingers
i’m too shocked
make me try
i’m still too young, i’m still too young
to die
all i wanted is still far gone (x4)
take
my life
or take
something of mine
lately the
universe
hasn’t been
too kind

lay me down, on nothing more than a bed of grass
my arms wrapped around the closest thing i had to a past
still there's a mark of what you were
some subtle call to bring you back to her
tinctures and wasted friends, i'm ready for my ever-present end
if we're truly on our own, then how can people die upon a throne?
people were always things to me, and i the tiny island on a cloudy sea
now all my closest things are gone, and my single life is wasted all alone.

laying in my house now
reading off spells from the last page
i could burn your house down
with all this sage
and still i’m waiting
while nothing is ever to come
my candles are fading
yet, you live on
it gets hard to keep saying
i’m always fine
while your existence is grating
its always on my mind
i’ll sail to your bed and see away your soul, won’t be long

the fire brings it down
my father and my crown
this fire still around
won’t change, won’t change
as much as i can change
a liar still remains
the strangers
invite themselves in
my maker
never knew where to begin
i don’t know where to run

i stay down
tell me what you really want
a fear of death always upon us
come outside and tell me to run
i need someone to love
tell me what you had in mind or tell me nothing
i don’t know what i’m thinking of
but you might have the thought to tell me something
i think about running
hold my hand and come away
they don’t know what’s coming
i could run forever from this awful place
i need someone to love
tell me what you had in mind or tell me nothing
i don’t know what you’re thinking of
but you might have been able to tell me something
[solo goes here]
i need something to love
tell me what you had in mind or tell me nothing
i don’t know what i’m thinking of
but please tell me, tell me something

who are you
when everyone is gone
do you sleep the same
does your mind turn off
you sleep in the garden
and dance in the brush
do you live in fear of what
they could do to us
i don’t know
where happiness lies
a thousand moons
couldn’t remind me
a thousand funerals
wished you loved me
i remember you can’t stand the night
is there somewhere we can both hide?
i don’t know
where my happiness has gone
a thousand moons
couldn’t remind me
a thousand funerals
wished you loved me

please sing for me
the blood you cough is only for you
wet and cold and lonely
there’s no greater pain
i held myself
in your bedroom
its not a fear of death
its a fear of what comes next
i held myself
in your bed
