lyrics

J:
I’ve been scraping black tar off your eyelids, exchanging your feelings for silence, waiting for your teeth to clench the moment when you realize what I meant. I’m screaming at the top of my lungs and you’re pleading from the bottom of your heart. And I’ve fallen down before, but I’d never fell apart.

When you find yourself surrounded by the ones you love the most your brain spills out and crams the skull full of those old ghosts. Do they haunt you, like they haunt me? Were you ever really listening to the words that crept through my teeth? I guess I’ll never know. Closed eyes lead to open mouths, and from the inside looking out, it looks a lot like we’re still waiting to start to forget.

The moment you held my hand was the second I held my breath, and the things I miss the most are the things I never said. As your fingers drip down my spine, your breath is apart of mind, but maybe I’m selfish, and you can’t sleep tonight. We scrawl our plans on documents that dissolve into the earth. You can sleep in the city. I will sleep in the dirt.

Justin:
I can’t remember who I used to be
and I can’t remember who I was trying to be.

...and I can remember, your face that night, body to body your head rested on mine. And I can recall, that you said we'd talk, but we never did, and we never will.

J:
So I’ll cover myself in graphite, wrap your neck in tin, to remind myself that I will be erased again. I’m chewing on the same things I always am and you’re looking for the same things I could never give.
