EBGDAE

My fingers are weak
mashed against this wood and strings
Trying to be the perfect way to say
the things I can't

And you’re sporting your own set of callouses

Athens

You told me all of the rules
But you were the first to lose
Say what you have to say to
Never share the blame

It’s you and your beliefs against the world

Casper Little

Fight or flight
And I’m too passive
Roundabout
Where you used to live

I left you there and I’m
Never coming back

Cause I’m Casper Little it’s gonna
Hurt for a little while my friend
You are not my enemy
But I am the villain again

It wasn’t but a 5 minute drive but it’s been 5 years since

Afterglow

I'm waiting for my heart to
fall in love with you again
sitting in your backseat
trying to pick your locks to sin
I have a bag of seeds to sow
upon your fertile afterglow.

Falling

In my dreams I’m falling
So it seems till I wake
It’s the chase
I’m not fast enough

Somethings wrong in my head
Not that it’s a bother

In my mind I’m falling
Deeper still it’s too late
When no one comes
To the rescue

Nothings wrong just
Let me breathe

Breathe in.Breathe out.Breathe in.Breathe out.

To A Friend

Will you call me?
Or maybe you could draw me and send me a picture
Make me pretty, make me something someone would be proud of
Put a smile on me
with eyes narrowed
Cause I’m cheesin thinking bout you and your beauty
Love makes me weak

Macedonia never had better dwellers

too strong, too early

And I guess that is when hell began

You know that feeling?
When you’re going up in a lift or an elevator
But the lift is full of blue fire
And you’re convinced
No one ever loved you
And you can’t remember
How
To ******* breathe

It was a bit like that.

My hands still shake sometimes
