Cigarette

Run in run out, way past sundown
Small talk I can barely hear, thin guitar sound
Stand by the staircase, hang out for an hour
The strobe lights flickering too bright
I’m itching to be homebound
She’s outside in a cigarette, I’m outside in a respirator
She’s beauty in that bralette, my body feels like a failure
I know I shouldn’t think that, I’ll be fine, I’ll get sad later
After all this time, I should know better
Walk past, contact, a joke that falls flat
Can’t focus on the band that’s playing, I always look back
It’s crowded in this place, she’s an inch from my face
I just want to sit her still, ask her how she got this way
He’s outside in a cigarette, I’m outside in a respirator
She speaks platitudes to me, I want her private revelations
I know how far I’ve come, she’s still what I can’t be
I know I’m missing something, show me, show me!
Maybe I want to live your truth
Nothing clears in the air
You hold my hands too tightly
Look in my eyes, but I can’t stare
You have nothing to hide
I feel like I can’t compare
Heading home, parts of you
I’ll take with me there
I lay on the couch she says I look like a renaissance painting
I’ll tell her that I like her makeup, cause I can’t do makeup, but that’s too much
Close calls with close talkers
Try not to make it more awkward
Try not to turn around, out that door
You look good in his cigarette
You look good in his coat
You’re suffocating,
Sometimes you like that, sometimes you don’t
You look happy, I won’t ask
He pulls you in when you’re cold
and I remind myself
It’s not you I need anymore

Mindfuck!

Mindfuck to say that you’re happy and you feel trapped
You love him and it sounds like you have to
you look and talk like there’s something you have lost
Something I try not to see through
Doesn’t change how far you’ve come
Doesn’t change what you stopped running from
I’ll just miss you when
you disappear into that man
Will you become his ribs?
Will you have his kids?
And give you the safety
Someone like me can’t give
Mindfuck you hold my hands, tell what you can’t tell him
That’s as far as you let me in
Tell me he’s Heaven, the expectations feel like hell
I deny desire, you pull me near, it doesn’t help
This doesn’t change who you are (It’s always a part of you)
Doesn’t change you’ve come so far (It’s always a part of you)
I hope you feel complete
If he’s your world I won’t compete
I hope he treats you well
I hope you find yourself
In sapp(h)y shows and romance books
At least you’ll walk and not get looks (LIVE: walk with me til we get looks)
Sometimes I wish you’d impulsively suddenly kiss me
Say you’re sorry and make me promise we tell no one
I’ll ask you to hold me close as you can hold me
Then let me go, and it’ll be done
My mother was not a housewife
My dad didn’t stay at home
So you’ll find a way to live your own life
Just fit me in on the phone
