All these nights full of bass,
Never low
Like your
High beams
I went swimming
With electricity.
And I've been wired
Like a set
Of Christmas lights
Ever since.

Keep talking,
I'm getting lost
In how much life
Really happens
Inside of some letters,
Outside of
A few space bars
And a desk,
And a bedroom floor,
Where I smile
So hard
I don't think I could rest.
I keep changing
The colors
I drip these walls in,
I keep changing the
Mirrors,
Keep myself from falling in,
And it's not hard at all,
But I guess it isn't easy
To be an empath
When it's the whole world
You've been dreaming,
I can't help but to share it,
Give you the views that I'm seeing
And let you do an artist's work,
Over its meaning.

I'm the life of the party,
I try to stay out with the moon
But I've been meaning to get
Back to you,
All the magic you pursue
If you'd just give me a minute,
To look.

I bought a CD,
Across the street
Where I felt like
My heater in July.
I think I'm too honest,
I think I'm too deep,
No amount of honesty would say it,
Always hidden,
You'll never understand
My plane of existence,
Cause once you've got it down
I keep switching.
Never making up my mind
In the grand scheme,
But I'd be a liar
To say I doubt the way I feel,
I know what I want,
This is a habitat to me,
I was gifted, I didn't steal.
Funny how you struggle to keep pace,
When it comes to being real.
And I meet myself face to face,
And I'm not only here for the appeal.

It's the color yellow and the highlighters
In my speech,
It's the color blue, and the substances
That s l o w  y o u r  t e e t h.
It's the smell of chlorine bleach,
It's my kicks on the kitchen floor,
I'm
Just happy to see.
It's the way you're aware,
And I don't feel like you have to seek
To open your eyes
To the reality of me.
That's refreshing,
Like those 'all white showers no clean',
I reference my shit, what I've seen
And I used to write about nights
Covered in bodies that lean,
Bodies without sleep.
I will keep drawing conclusions
After all this life we breathe.
