i laugh about it
i can't speak when it's like this with you
sure i'm your confidante, but
did i have to hear this?
and you know that i know that you know
that there's something to us
and you say you don't hate pain
but i do
and there's only so much
i can grit my teeth through
and your sound is like nothing i've heard
you're too special
though you said you'd know mine anywhere
i'm not sure what mine is without yours
and i know i should've confessed to you years ago
so what if we're both girls?
you treat me like a lover and let me have my fantasies
till you remind me he's all you can see
and i get what i get if i don't shoot my shot
but you know you're not making it easy
i'll draw the shortest straw every time
and keep it locked inside
you make me want to die
sometimes
and we hugged at the airport
5 AM flight
and you told me this isn't the end
but the pride on your face
as you crossed through the gate
told me all i didn't need to know
and i'm sure new york will love you too
not as much as i do
but who could?
that's a joke
unless??
and if it's true the city changes you
let me be selfish too
don't remind me what hasn't changed
and i'm sure that some girl's gonna spark your awakening
sure as you did to me
and i hope that you'll find what you're looking for there
but not too much
and don't tell me about her please
and i knew that you knew that i knew
there was something to us
and i still hate pain
but i'm used to it
and as time marches on
i don't think about you
that's a lie
that's a lie
that's a lie
(trumpet/euph soli)
a text, a visit
last grains of sand fall through the glass
a hotel restaurant
you've cut your hair, i cut my class
said i was done with music
i guess i changed my mind
your old crush is my colleague
it's all so funny, time
you notice the hairpin's gone from my face
we fall into conversation
reopen old wounds and tend to them lovingly
and you know that i know that you know
that there's something to us
and we can't escape it
i'll be forever villains with you
if you'll take it
if we took the wrong routes
and they still brought us someplace like this
could you say it's fated?
you trace poetry onto my skin
and i'm invigorated

Dud Gold (ft. Renko)

we wait and pray
as the last hollow notes ring out for pyrrhic victory
you look serene
and i can only wonder what you're thinking
clear my mind
pour myself into every note
til i'm left empty
you smile and accept our worthless prize
i'm so upset i could die
and now with ocean stretching between us
i've got this dud gold
that's left me all alone
we climb the pass
shutting out the noise of the festival below
my feet are burning
you laugh and my cheeks burn as well
you're awful, you know
you captivate me
in bokeh light
i wish you'd kept the blue bird you caught that night
and as the water rises around me
i've got this dud gold
that's left me all alone
but i text you i'm not suffocating
and the new lead trumpet's a lot like you
and i hate myself for lying next to her
just to picture you like i wish we were
if i hadn't been stupid
and as this ocean threatens to drown me
i'm crushed by these waves
you started in me years ago
long-distance lines anchor me to you
but i'm unraveling
your voice on the phone is not enough
have i always been this greedy?
i need you more than i ever knew
pull me ashore and peel off my good-girl skin
and you're always saying the worst things
and you're always seeing right through me
and the noises you make when you're startled
and you're always too hard on yourself and too easy upon me
and i can't stop thinking about it
when our souls were laid bare at the summit
and your ocean's crashing around me from thousands of miles away
