the little you feel

i know you’d never leave toronto
i should not have asked you to try
but i have visions of a future where
we meet at the right time
how could you leave this heart empty-handed
how could you take my patience for granted
now I’m not kind and i look for
me everywhere i go
so you swear that you’re never the same you
but I’ve watched you stand still for the last 20 years
and since i met you I’ve been
standing right here next to you
bite my tongue and ill never move forward
you could give up your pride for the last word
and after all i put to death
you ask me now again to hold my breath
but it was good while it felt good
but it was good while it felt good
in my head we can just brush the dust off
in my head we pick up where we left off
and you agree to settle down with me
so i don’t settle
or ill learn that i don’t need to call you
and you learn to miss me when i don’t reply
and i won’t feel guilty anymore
for needing space and taking time
i don’t have any time to waste on you
theres so much that i want before I’m 25
if i keep surrendering then ill
come to resent you and never prove anything
if i never shook the ground beneath you
then i guess i was never supposed to
and ill learn how to fail and keep
this softness I’ve left in me
but it was good while it felt good
but it was good while it felt good
maybe i went blind chasing a pipe dream
maybe facing the truth pulled me downstream
but i have doubts if it was good
or if i just misunderstood the way
that a heart is supposed to be treated
and if i leave this thought uncompleted
i won’t repeat this year again
and you’ll forgive god willing ill forget
what was good and what felt good
what was good and what felt good

paper cups

silence is golden but people are bitter
seems like flames are getting hard to smother down
were smoldering below
our mantle bricks and embers glow
so blow the candles out you're seventeen
and you have skin not evergreens
you cant be in the right
not all the time
not all the time
silence is tepid but coffee better
keeps me up when quiet tries to put me down
our hands they reconcile
the shaking palms its infantile
they way we stunt our children let them grow
but kill their future from below
uproot their aspirations
are we not a generation?
but you have something to say
have something do say
don't you
why'd you throw it away
don't throw it away
don't you
see theres only a way
only one way
to this stage
kill the lights and what remains?
silence is golden but people are simple
were all carbon copies of our little lives
our little lies we tell
to make us comfortable but hell
the future isnt black and white
you can't be thoughtless and still fight
for something you don't know the name of
aren't you fucking terrified?
but you have something to say
have something do say
don't you
why'd you throw it away
don't throw it away
don't you
see theres only a way
only one way
to this stage
theres only so many days
silence is golden but poison is silent
paper cups and violence are the same damn thing
you cant tell whats inside
if you don't like it don't stand by
don't grow up to be cynical
or apathetic theres too many
people who believe that their
opinions are not critical
and they had something to say
have something do say
don't you
watch them throw it away
don't throw it away
don't you
see theres only a way
only one way
to this stage
theres only so many days
