No Sleep 04:35
I just need some sleep, I'm counting all the Crows They're sitting on my windowsill, pecking cracks into my window And I just need some relief, from the storm inside my own head A strong reliance on pills, is keeping me from falling down When the rain comes again, I'll feel the water wash over my skin Wash away and start anew, ready for the following sun And when the headaches finally clear, when my eyesight finally sharpens I'll raise my glass to the Crows and wonder where you've all gone

Life is so achingly dull When you spend it alone I begin to lose myself, my accent My body becomes a walking television My eyes watching the lives of others I can drench my life in arts and food Walks and long thoughts But that basic human interaction Between two people That sparkle and jolt Can never be replaced Cooped up in my apartment So trapped by my own thoughts Yet I'm free to go out and share them So many people minutes away But I'd never dare say a word I recall everything that night From the sweat on your body, to the pictures on the wall Do you remember it well? Do you lay in bed at night and try to put together a picture? The third drawer by the bed And the television set way too low "Better be quiet" you whispered in my ear A dirty little secret that was only meant for us And some nights I walk around Where I play back these scenarios A couple times a month

Chelsea, I can still see his face I remember what he was wearing and the ceramic tiles You saw me as I entered the hallway Cos you scurried up the stairs like a pack of Rats The coats, in the hallway, are all stacking high But in the bathroom its you I find The windows are all steaming up I'm standing there at sixteen staring straight at you How, can someone, have such a hold on me for all these years?

Elizabeth 07:14
I heard you breathing through the phone I said goodbye from a thousand miles Could you even hear me? Or was the machine just pumping air? I was too late and I wasn't there I missed your last moments of life I called you a few days before You were so full of life Spouts of pain and moments of tears I haven't stopped crying all day Laura cries with me and holds me tight Tells me to go home if I need "Peanuts in a jar atop the fridge" "Don't sit near the window cos there's a draft" What would be the point in coming home tonight? When you're already gone You're all I need But you're already gone And you're all I need But you're already gone

Saw you standing there in your black dress All alone on the back porch Hair shining bright in the moonlight Cigarette in your right hand And all the reasons that I gave you Slowly fell into the night When you were standing under the stars Into the darkest depths of the sky Saw you sitting down by the ocean Hair entwined in the flowers When you asked me for a hand To break you free from the wild The twilight bounced upon the waves And made your eyes all light up It was from that moment You're a speck of colour in the grey
