Hung back a minute to take it in
Lost in the dreading
It feels like we’ll never be here again
Morning fog
Mountain top
Was present then
And as time passed I found that’s time well spent
I know I could wait
Until I’m more comfortable
But I feel farther now then ever
From the end of that road
Winter thicc on the Tahoe ridge
If only for a moment
We had something to look forward to
It breaks my heart to feel that fade away

Minutes; hours; days
Aimless pacing in my corner
Of the ocean floor
Head sank like a stone to the bottom
It gravitated
So long
The cold seeped through my skin
Years holding breath cut airflow to my head
Brain dead but nodding along
What did you ask me?
“How long has it been since you went home?”
How long has it been since you resurfaced?
Since southern air cooked your skin?
Since you felt anything?
Out on the land
It’s rumored that they’re bringing roots
And your chance to grow again

Wake up
Winters rolling through the trees
Give more
If you’re not happy where you are
I almost forgot your perfect vision
Bless us with your intuition
Silver spoon
Salivating
You still love the taste
Eternal summer by the bay
Where you were born with all you need
It’s hard for you to understand
In the valley there’s long winters
And the hills keep growing
Grow steeper
And no one chose to be here
Glare as you go by
You condescend to what you couldn’t comprehend
So easy
Couldn’t hear the sound from your balcony
(Looking down on me, so fucking small)
Wiping the disdain dripping off your face
(When the choice was made you turned the other way)
There’s blood in the water
There’s blood on your hands
But there’s still no weight on your neck
(We are not the same
Fuck shaking hands
Stay lost)

I don’t want a team captain
Don’t pick me last for flag football
I don’t want to be left out
On my own
Wake up alone
Look at my phone and wonder
Tell me how you really fell
(So alone)
Is it really that much better here?
(On my own)
Can you try and just be honest please?
(No ones home but I’ll be waiting)
Is this really how you wanted it?
(So alone)
Can you try a little harder then?
(Waking up on my own)
Can you try and just be honest please?
(No ones home but I’ll be waiting)
No
All alone
On my own
No ones home but I’ll be waiting
Floating lonely in the midnight ocean
Above the monsters right beneath the surface
Every single night waking in a current
That I’ve never had the energy to fight
I’ve been drowning in the midnight ocean
Among the monsters I am disconcerting
Every single night waking in a current
That I’ve never been strong enough to fight
So down we go
I don’t want to play football
It’s in the past it’s not your fault
I don’t want to be left out
On my own
No one’s home
Alone

This is the way it’s always been
At summers end
You cut me off and cauterize again
The island froze
Now there’s just sand beneath snow
But how far would you go?
You like to stray
And make your own way home
Somethings different now
You made this place a complex
To keep us out
But you’re out there on your own
And sitting idly just feels so wrong
But you would never do that to us all
From the riverbed
Frostbitten then
Your whisper poured through cracking lips
“It’s always getting worse”
Conviction riddled words to mark the end
“Thanks I’m fucking fine or at least I’m getting by
Feels like winter every day here”

How it has to be
A fair shake between
Falling through cracks and living comfortably
It’s not like the taste ever left my tongue
Voids grow
Can’t play god no more
It’s not like the taste will ever leave your tongue
(I tried to play god but I never won
I tried to make it go away
The taste on my tongue)
Try to enjoy the things that you used to
Occupy your mind with plans for your future
Always take time counting blessings
It will happen when you’re really ready
I still grind my teeth
Shaken by the words
I filled up my time
Just to dull the taste
The taste on the back
The back of my tongue
Might just scrape it off

Is this what you call aging gracefully?
Losing your edge to fill in some hole
To fit the mold
Or worshipping a plastic throne spray painted gold
Don’t stick out too far
Sell yourself
Impress your friends
Pray the circle opens up
And sucks you in
Don’t stick out too far
They might really see you
God damn
That stress can melt through your skull like hot lead
Sell yourself
Embrace the trend
Nothing’s authentic anymore anyway
You’ll need more hooks to catch more fish

Today we say goodbye
The sky starts to crack up above
We make no sound
Just wait for the moment to come
I call out
But your attention was up in the clouds
Wake me up
Not ready to go right now
Last moments
Confessing our love and sharing memories
Or regrets of what's left undone
It's not right but what can I do?
It's just our time
Cells will separate, disintegrate,
and everything will fade away
All falls in to place as everything's erased
Your eyes grow pixelated as I caress your face
You scream
"Death from above... they're turning us back into dust"
