Break me apart, now there's a start
push my collapsable heart until I no longer need you
Squeeze it all out, oh my darling don't pout
it's just residual grout, the stuff of my love
Are you gone? Are you gone?
I'm trying to feel you
I'm trying to leave
Are you gone? Are you gone?
Gone…
I think I'm too strong, I know what went wrong
So I'll put it in a song, as if that will fix me
By now my heart's empty and your hands are so dirty
I've given you plenty, are you gone for good?
Are you gone?x6
Are you gone? Are you gone?
I'm trying to feel you
I'm trying to leave
Are you gone? Are you gone?
Gone…

She is Lost

my heart reaches out and pulls on me
leaves me feeling flayed
reaching out across the sea
to the place where i laid
and the place where you left
my little bones so tender on the hardwood floor
i think we've been here before
i think we've been here before
i think we've been here before
i think we will be here never more
and i yearn for how it felt to be
under a city you never knew
and i wish i could forget all of you
but I'm not capable of such theft
my little mind wrapped up in thoughts till half past 4
i think we've been here before
i think we've been here before
i think we've been here before
i think we will be here never more

push her off, let her go to waste
push her off, let go of her waist
and stand upon the shore,
you're starting to bear down
and sink into the wet sand
never to be ignored
& this is how
cliffs are formed
push me off,
why bother being coy now?
i never could see the point in being
the joy of you
the joy of you
your joy, should come from within you
but still you stand, stand with your feet upon the shore
and you're anchored in, anchored in while the sea's drawn up its walls
still there you stand, stand anchored in as before
but i knew that the moment I closed your dark green door
the moment i shut your door
[wind/waves]
crash white and grey
the winds
whip hair round my face
you're tall now
and stone
I'm small now
and stoned
oooh
i'm waiting for you to come,
for i fear you were the one
but you have never gone
no you have never gone
no you have never gone
no
oooh
still there you stand, stand with your feet upon the shore
and you're anchored in, anchored in while the sea's drawn up its walls
still there you stand, stand anchored in as before
but i knew that the moment I shut your dark green door
the moment i shut your door
the moment i shut you
[out]

i cannot see just who I am meant to be, in your eyes
i'm struggling enough with mine
and i do not know where you want this to go
i can't tell, my dear, please just don't leave me here
but now I know, my love
you were gone, the moment our eyes were one
and i can see that i'm meant to be more important to someone else
i want to know how to make my garden grow
with your health in mind
instead of being resentful all the time
oooh….
maybe it is time, that i left my own mind
and became the better version of myself
I'm covered in rust, dirty with dust
from the wear and the tear you left me with but I
no longer will blame smear filthy, your name
I can see that my ways are errored and frayed
and i can see that we were meant to be perfect for a day
{most people get less anyway}
and i won't grow, how low must i go
to remember the times
that you and i were careless, free, and fine
careless, free, and fine
ooh…

ooh
baby won't you come over here and snuggle up to me
come on babe, won'tchage-ovahere i promise i won't be mean (mean ol' me)
the buffalo, they dance and play in spring, in spring, in spring
of 1883
and you and i, we're little kids, i'll never be, i'll never be
more
free
and come, play a while, relax,
just smile
play, play and smile
the babies laugh the babies play the babies do all kinda baby things,
all day
i'm sitting in my apartment thinkin' about, thinkin' about zombies
i'm thinkin about, why'm i thinkin about zombies?
could it be? oh, could it be? could it be? (could it be?)
that my face, simply, of a zombie, dear
what's goin' on?, it's been goin' on for years
it's goin' on, keeps goin' for years
keeps goin' on and goin' on for years
am i a zombie now that i have seen the way,
i've seen the way, the world, keeps turning?
keeps turning and yearning and yearning and yearning
I'm filled with hope, hope and sadness, and hope and sadness, and yearning
and yearning x7
and your name x9

She is Free (probably)

oh, you see me in this room
and, you relax; let go and slip through me
let go and slip through me
[like it's meant to be]
oh, you came here with the aim
to be free, to be free
sink into this little world
where i'll stay beside you, don't you fret
neither deny nor accept
the things you must lose and the things you must give
to be free, to be free
onyx heart, you shimmer in the dark
and i, can't tell who is who
if you're me, then i am you
[questions never cease]
oh, we gleam, but what does it meant
to be free? to be free?
