these are all of the words
that I’ve always wanted to say
when I’m high, when I’m low
which seems to be every day
you can cry,
to be seen,
but don’t ask me,
what it means
you can shout,
scream out loud
but don’t ask me
about sound
I tried to start a scrapbook
with us in it
but the more I try,
the more I think we’ve been it
lets write our story and relive it
and take it back to the beginning

Dear Alaska

Oh alaska I'm waiting here for you
in the corner of the smoking hole
tucked away from the eagles eye
we don't even have to do those lines again
in your flooded dorm room
where you gave me a cigarette
books stacked floor up the wall again
theres something about you that i just cannot forget
goddamn i hope that you do not end up dead
nothing quite like the way you smile at the air
how you go from crying to when you just do not care
when you walk away and tell me to come over there
how you look down and expect me to not want to stare
come run now
come run now
come run now
but don’t you make a sound
come run now
come run
keep running
Alaska it looks like the world’s in your eyes
I know that you’re not happy
and you keep things up inside
I know you’re waiting for a time in your life
to be able to say you’re alright
and you mean it now
You drown your sorrows in your wine
that’s down by the river
and you open up only to shut down
when you feel bitter
There’s a hurricane in your eyes
and a hint of drizzle in mine
but that’s just comes
with loving alaska young
oh alaska I’ll still be here for you
when you talk about yourself, gone wrong
you drink on with a glint in your eye
we’re going to have to devise plans again
in the smoked out barn shed
where we ran for miles and then
we were loud and we almost got caught again
moments like this i hope i wont forget
god damnit i hope you're here till the end
nothing quite like the way you kissed me goodnight
when you go from screaming to saying you're alright
I wish that i could see a future in sight
maybe not, seen as you’re out like a light
Alaska young why did learn how to drive
the petals on the phone booth
should have been out of sight
alaska young damn such a wonderful soul
but you left my world in the nighttime
left your life on the lifeline
alaska young i will miss you a lot
now theres nothing left but but quiet skies
without your car in the parking lot
alaska young, when will you understand
you built me up
you knocked me down
and left a ruined man
Alaska I wish you were here by my side
but you left my world in the nighttime
left your life on the lifeline
alaska young you were a wonderful soul
Just beginning to find your feet in the world
Alaska young I wish you were here by my side
so that you could say you're alive
you cant mean it now
You drowned your sorrows in your wine
you left by the river
and you opened up only to shut down
when you felt bitter
There’s not much left in your eyes
there’s drizzle here in mine
hurt’s what comes with
loving alaska young

i can tell its been a while since you smiled
i can tell its been a while since you've been alright
you saw those words on the wall again
so instead you came in here ‘cause a voice said
that everything seems much better at the oracle
everything seems more peaceful
when you're in the water,
so come in arthur
arthur i told you all about
the bodies laying on white tiles in the water
i know you were told the oracle will save ya
will take away your messes
and hide you away for a while
i cant quite do that
but i can make you smile
I know that you cant tell what i am,
hell you thought my mum was my little sister,
you tell me to get out of the water,
but this is where I’m gonna be stuck forever
and you tried to show people from school,
but arthur you should have listened to my rules,
cause nobody can know I'm alive.
people have drowned so that i can survive
everythings more complex here at the oracle,
everythings deathly quiet
when you're in the water
be careful arthur
I promise that i wont let you drown
if you stay, and
i promise that i will stick around,
please stay silent
because nobody can know that alive and living
nobody can know that i am happily swimming,
here in the oracle alone
everything really lonely at the oracle,
there are bodies on the floor here,
when you're in the water,
i love you arthur

The thing I know about the sun
is it seems to pop behind the clouds and hide
right when you need it most.
I guess that's why
it's been so hard for you lately
I wish I knew just how to make it right
Because you've always been my grounding anchor
and you won't let me down
won't let me surrender
I guess that's why I hung the stars up in the sky
in hopes you'll sleep a little better at night
Forget the frowning faces and all of their glares
two-thirty miles and I'll be standing there
and if the troubles seem to keep you up at night
Just know that I'll be there to help you win this fight.
Because in twenty years I'll still be in your corner
and if anyone leaves, I don't care, I'll still be rooting for you
and if anyone says the lies that seem to hold you down,
don't keep then around
and don't you let them let you drown
the thing I know about you now
is you seem to hide behind a mask
and smile right when you're hurting most
I guess that's why
I want to make you laugh again,
I wish I knew just how to make it right
Because you've always been my grounding anchor
and you won't let me down
won't let me surrender
I guess that's why I hung the stars up in the sky
in hopes you'll sleep a little better at night
Forget the frowning faces and all of their glares
two-thirty miles and I'll be standing there
and if the troubles seem to keep you up at night
Just know that I'll be there to help you win this fight.
Because in twenty years I'll still be in your corner
and if anyone leaves, I don't care, I'll still be rooting for you
and if anyone says the lies that seem to hold you down,
don't keep then around
and don't you let them let you drown
So when you turn sixteen and you close your eyes
after thinking too much on a saturday night
I swear to god I'll listen
and I swear to god I'll hear you out this time
You don't need to wait for the sun to shine
You can find hope in the rain tonight
Forget the frowning faces and all of their glares
two-thirty miles and I'll be standing there
and if the troubles seem to keep you up at night
Just know that I'll be there to help you win this fight.
Because in twenty years I'll still be in your corner
and if anyone leaves, I don't care, I'll still be rooting for you
and if anyone says the lies that seem to hold you down,
don't keep then around
and don't you let them let you drown

Dear Barcelona

Dear Barcelona,
You are my second home
My heart will be right with you,
But you make me feel alone
your street lights are brighter
than any cell in me
I'll always want you
but leave me with the palm trees,
and the ocean breeze,
leave me with me
Dear Barcelona,
A part of my heart will always be beside you
I guess I'm running away
and these are all the things I just can't say,
Barcelona, I do love you
but you make me feel alone
Dear Barcelona,
come take me out with the waves
and I'll dance
then I'll decay
Your laughter is lighter
than I have ever been
I'll be beside you
but leave me with my broken dreams
and settlings
leave me with me
Dear Barcelona,
A part of my heart will always be beside you
but now I'm running away
and these are all the things I just can't say,
Barcelona, I do love you
but you make me feel alone
Please don't hold onto me
you're everything I just can't be
or feel, breath, or see
Barcelona,
won't you sing one last time with me
won't you come over here,
and fly off of your feet
please set me free
Dear Barcelona,
A part of my heart will always be beside you
but now I'm running away
and these are all the things I just can't say,
Barcelona, I do love you
but you make me feel alone
I'll always love you
but you make me feel alone
don't leave me alone
