I 03:06
avoiding glares across the room, writing letters in pages of books, breathing down the neck of my new best friend. i'm lost again. like newlyweds getting high, measured by my jealously. unaware of my own biases. contrary to what you'd normally expect, I will ameliorate the wounds that I have left. we don't know what we're capable of. posturing is the word of the day. personal anguish, trust over time. a path divides in the brush somewhere, and a faint voice leads me home.

II 01:47
brand me undignified, unhand me to the pulsing tide. my heartache, and my confidant, I loved, I lived. the touch of your skin is leaving me flushed, and I live with the guilt of knowing too much. the pulsing tide. i'll be just fine. brand me undignified, and release me to the pulsing tide. my heartache, my confidant, i loved, i lived.

III 02:36
sometimes your voice tangles my veins. I speak through you, I breathe through you, i dream, i dream. i watched the world seep from your eyes. through me, with me and in me. two different words for the same thing. you are all i think about. i can read the pain in your face. your chest sinks and I disappoint you. I am not worth the effort. think of it as a testament to you. our art - a testament to you.

IV 03:15
like the prophet, i stay blind. i stay passive all the time. turned around too abrupt, and i startled my love. i only want to follow behind you, then I can be all that I want to. i only want to mimic all your moves, then I can be all that I have to be. i've never been so cold, but there's room to grow. across the yard, children play as i dig my grave.
