we come from broken homes we're made of shattered things a composite of pain and death and all the love in between i was in awe of you you were in love with me it was ten too many years before i discovered what laid beneath booze buffered both our hearts h shouldered all your pain she was the only lady that you ever brought over to my place somehow we found our ways into a gentler space i was so ashamed of where i'd been that i would hide my face when you came to my shows and bragged about your cuz pulled me out of my corner to pose together cause you knew it might be the last opportunity i will never ever forget understand, deserve your love i will never ever let you live my side again cuz

it's been a mile and you finally got me off the road staring straight at your eyes it reminds me of when i was home maybe it's blue skies maybe it's shit brown rust maybe it's red leaves maybe it's none of the above me you're standing my will is breaking into pieces scattered on the floor like my favorite reading chair guess i was sixteen years or so dodging arms and cushions i forget what i had said to him how could anyone who prefers himself so broken i guess on the other hand how could anyone not try another tactic maybe diversion i'm rooting for but can't help but question the odds are we'll force it until it don't fit on the other hand how could anyone not try

i'm closing your front door i'm holding my breath might not see ya tomorrow might not see ya again but you're one of the ones that's helping me realize what i love about life what i love about myself one of the ones that's leaving me higher i wanna hold you tighter i wanna be your skin and when it settles in maybe we'll settle in or roll along after you molt me away why oversee such a simple thing what may happen is what may but if i have a say i'm one of the ones that's keeping you closer bonded by mind and sometimes by flesh one of the ones loving you sometimes always and never one of the ones

ready or not like it or not we're dying tongue in our cheeks stench in our breath we're trying any method to numb it all down i'm sorry it's a rough hand results are canned annoying when you're born all weird and frayed options slim so don't delay just fuck the pain we stayed up nights keeping cocaine in business graveyard day shifts slept like the dead with strangers i didn't know myself back then so i kept switching it up swapping my spit like majors but i never quite loved anyone like the year that you shaved off your head i was so confused a hiding dyke in men's elevens maybe tonight i'll call up to tell life is a joke but i think i wrote one better when i picked my pen up years ago this was not the kind of life i meant to write but i cannot imagine myself sitting anywhere that is not right here by your side ingrid where you when we were getting high just kidding you were right there every time

you're the ember inside of me you're the fire i wanna be when the smoke's surrounding me you're the air that i can breathe is it too simple to say i love you is it too wishful to say i am you now i'm the earth on which you grow i'm the soil that you know when the dirt is all around i'll be the water that will break it down and when the darkness is there i'll guide you when there's too much light i'll shield your brow

run away while you can pack up your luggage and retreat i'm not gonna make it so i want you to forget about me give me your steely eyes and say it back three times to me they've got me surrounded so i want you to forget about me and when you make it there to that hidden mountain or valley i want you to let me go i want you to find a family and you will write the greatest songs of all of every joy and triumph after the fall and you will live a life of joy and glee i think about this i think about it here while i bleed out how you ran while you could picked and slipped into the street said to yourself three times how you would forget about me

baby boy skin of lead no relief pierce instead plug that hole full of all your tall tales occupation colon personal hell oh you bombshell oh you toxic light i will hold you in my pocket tight will you guide me through this darkness tonight couldn't save yourself now let us save a life let me remember every shot that i offered to you that gentleman let him take you down that alley and i followed right behind despite all my love for you in heart i let my thirst overcome me and i know in the deepest darkest way that it could've been me in that box and i just know that there's another plain where you're clean and where you whistle while you work all day and you stop on by on your way home and ingrid cooks up a storm for you and me and clay and you tell us all about your husband and your latest take on star trek but mostly we just stare into each other's eyes and laugh about we're alive what a wonder what a joke what a blessing we're alive
