i want you to look at me in that way
i want to be young lovers again
how much happens when you’re open
so much happens when you’re open

i watch them and pretend that they’re in love,
i watch them and pretend that they’re in love,
i watch them and watch them and watch them
and pretend that they’re in love
watching them gives me the amputated wings of a dove

you used to get behind my bitter shell
i used to open up for you, you used to be ready
i close my eyes and dream of you, even when you’re there
there there, even when you’re here
the comfort’s gone, the honesty is falling away
oh bitter saline crust, over every trusting part that had it’s place in me

you are warm and i am cold
when you reach for me it only burns
follow the heart, and it could just lead you somewhere you are numb
speak your heart, and it could just lead you somewhere you are dumb

Tower [BF#DGBE]

it’s not ok
this bridge between you and i
it is steeped
so that it’s easy for me
to lean down, and be a tower over you.
A tower that casts a shadow,
and is only a burden.

this tower, is my place
i built it from left over memories and mistakes
They cascade, down,
and cast that shadow in the corner of your eye.
Lord knows they have scarred both of mine,
and i can’t see.

you can climb up, oh you can
scratch your nails on the concrete
i know you have
you can climb up
and know this place as madness and awkward pride

but you know my plans are not held together,
you know my bricks are made of lies
so give me a wide, berth please,
until i’ve untied you from this mess
and let you free

it’d be easy
to break this bridge
‘tween you and me
if that was ok with you,
but it’s not,
’cause you can’t see

this tower, is my place
i built it all to be, my weaknesses keepsake
it cascades, down,
and cast that shadow in the corner of your eye,
oh sweetness, don’t you know that love is blind

i think i’ll try to turn my tower into rubble
and when the dust has fell and all has settled
i will come out from inside,
see what my heart finds.
