idiosyncrasies

go catch the midnight train to sleep
I'll dream like the lilacs and the weeds
idiosyncrasies, synchronicities, moments revealing
pack my bags today, watch me float away into the gravity
walking up the mountain right beside you
your love is like rain on my pavement, side streets
watch as the water's pooling in
pressed under covers, petal thin
idiosyncrasies, synchronicities, minutes receding
pulled into waves today, catch the tide display into the gravity
watching the moon smile right beside you
your love is like rain on my branches, green leaves

play pretend

remember to keep your eyes closed when I open up the door
the light will come in and if you’re not ready, it will disturb you, it will wake you up
remember to tell your children: I was the one you thought.
the darkness she knows me well, and I let her in she will use my first name at the door
my mind keeps telling me stories that I have heard before
and I’m against the wall with my paper’s on the ground looking it all over for the ninth time
tonight
forgive me for not being able to see right in-front of me
if I could see it all again I’d play pretend, get dressed up and lie to you again
who makes the call at midnight when the lights have all gone out
the city she’s sleeping in and been sleeping in every morning that I am awake
taking it all for granted is a thing that I know well
and when it’s too late to put it on the shelf I remember a feeling I know it so well
tell me, tell me that I am forgettable
make it easy on yourself and if you need some time
understand that darling i’ll be fine
forgive me for not being able to see right in-front of me
if I could see it all again I’d play pretend, get dressed up and lie to you again
I’m naked
my weapons are gone and I’m a child again
I’m a child again and if you’d listened to what your mother told you you’d be just fine
forgive me for not being able to see right in-front of me
if I could see it all again I’d play pretend, get dressed up and lie to you again

lonely people

Isn’t it funny, honey
When you were young you never thought you’d get this old
Waiting, watching the world
If I tried to tell them “there are places you’ll eventually go” they wouldn’t listen to me
You grew up listening to rock and roll
Drinks at The Calabash
Is where you took a lady who never once did laugh
But something in your eyes will tell me everything’s on track
And we’re all just lonely people doing boring things for cash
My mother she worries about me every time I leave this town
And I do my best to calm her down
Your family, they only know me as the young girl you met in the city
But I know that you know me well
You grew a taste for the avant garde, latte’s at Paper Cats
Is where you’d meet those friendlies who’d always fill your stash
But something in your gaze forewarns me it’s a tricky path and we’re all just lonely people doing
boring things for cash
Feet are aching and eyes are burning
Every bone in my body screams surrender
Time stops, and eerie silence while my debts are forever piling
Headaches and hands that shake, my ennui is growing weary
Is this the point of the journey
My sister she wonders if she’ll ever find her reason
And I do by best do calm her down
My city once showed me that it’s underbelly aint that pretty
But I know some stones ought stay down
You grew a distance from your past
Groceries from the Alder Flats
Reminds you of that lady who’s lashes never bat
But something in her eyes will tell you everyone’s a little cracked
From being lonely people doing boring things for cash
Am I just a lonely person doing boring things for cash

dragonflies

hung up like a picture on the wall
painted red, colour blind
my mother preached always forgive them all
so I said I was fine
but where do the dragonflies go in the snow
if you were lying would I ever know
well what do I know
you locked up for the summer time
and you were right, I’ve been looking for a place to call my own
but if I ever open up my eyes
I would see I’m the reason why I feel so alone
but where do the dragonflies go in the snow
if you were lying would I ever know
well what do I know
