I woke up in the dark
Having dreamt I was in pursuit
Piling on the circular talk
Just like I used to do
I suppose this is serious love
The kind that just won't be snuffed
The kind of love that never dies
The sort of stuff that ruins lives
Burn the love dreams
Burn 'em for safekeeping
Save the love dreams
Save 'em on the garbage heap
If you lived here, you'd be home by now
If you loved me, you'd've let on by now
Did you forget what you said?
Did I misinterpret it?
Vague and softspoken
Over AIM
Twenty-odd years ago
Feels like that and several lifetimes more
You said, "I'm sorry, but
You are so beautiful"
Burn the love dreams
Burn 'em for safekeeping
Fill the love dreams
Fill 'em while you’re leaving
If you loved me, you'd be home by now
If you lived here, you’d’ve shown by now
Did you forsake your vow?
Did I misinterpret it somehow?
That delicious little hiccup in
Space-time's continuin'
You were six-fucking-teen
Maybe it didn't mean anything
Maybe it was just one of those things
Whatever that means
If you lived here, you'd be home by now
If you loved me, I guess I'd know by now
Burn the love dreams
Burn 'em for safekeeping
Save the love dreams
Save 'em on the garbage heap
If you lived here, you'd be home by now
If you loved me, you'd've let on by now

Historical Fiction

I don't want to feel this
So why'd I acknowledge it
Emotion swears it's gonna last
But now I'm too smart for that
I set it in motion
Drew a falsifiable conclusion
Sidled up to an illusion
A clock watcher's work is never done
I don't have to commit to caring about you
You're gonna make me a fool if it's the first thing you do
I don't have to continue to care when you're
Technically a fictional character
If you can't prove you're really there
Then I don't have to commit to care, though you
Taught me those card games
And told me your secret middle name
Remembering the way you taste
Remembering the way I ached
To forge a connection
With a fellow human being
Sunk the costs since I was diving in
But then you used up all the oxygen
I don't have to commit to caring about you
You're gonna make me a fool if it's the first thing you do
I don't have to continue to care when you're
Not in my cinematic universe
When at best you're not all there, I'm just
Not down to keep your balls in the air and commit
Commit to care
It wasn't all in my head
Darling, I've got witnesses
And if it's all a game to you
I'll just make up my own rules
I can leave you off the album
I can lock you in the vault
I can strike you from the setlist
Or simply tell the world it's all your fault

Shit's Everywhere

I don’t want to be the one when I could be good enough
If given the room to grow, I could win you over
I don’t mind if you don’t know about me right now or tomorrow
Let it flow
Let’s keep borrowing time
Though they say it’s scarce, the shit’s everywhere
It surprised me to get your text, said you were back making music
That it had made you think of me and how was it all going
Which was all it took to bring it flooding back, make it matter
And wake me up to the beneficence of time
What had seemed so scarce
Shit’s everywhere
It’s okay to follow dreams when they veer towards reality
I still see a path to love
Let's walk; we don't have to run
We could wing it
I could try to finally let you go, but why
Now that I just scored all this time?
Though they say it’s scarce, the shit’s everywhere

Less Transparent

Ghosted by the person who seemed the least dead out of all them
Now my haunts are mine, as is my house
Wanna diversify, wanna branch out
Wanna walk thru a wall like you
Was it hard to do
Ghosted by the person who was less transparent than the lot of them
My heart's a hoarder, my soul's a shut-in
I'm just a boarder, I'm just a burden
I wanna walk out of my life
Since you did, and you're always right
Ghosted by the person who seemed the least dead out of all them
Out of all them
