Eden Vision 03:27
there’s something stirring in my head something that pulls me out of bed I memorize the words you said to me and replay the moments I forget I’m drifting gently through the streets I’m losing traction in the heat I left my head inside your sheets I sweat through only to wake up in a dream I don’t believe in what I can’t see your memory starts to recede I don’t believe that spirits linger there is no form I can’t see you anymore
2.
Heirloom 04:33
my mom and dad remain conjoined by nothing more than not to be alone my fingertips are running through your alopecian hair and this is home your house alive with apparitions, will we ever truly be alone? is it too much to ask you will our makeshift shelter ever feel like home? I think it’s true that people like me, brutalized, we always die alone a history of faggots burning brilliantly just to heat their homes I take it on - a legacy of fear and paranoia spent alone I cling to you for in each other’s pain and grief is where we feel at home
3.
wounds inside my open doubt (resigned) (full time) all to feel you inside out (inside) (draw line) waves of history come and go (look back) (turn in) oh the poison, feel it flow (give slack) (begin) ((do you have the time?)) long to hold in public eye (look back) (turn in) use my fear just to survive (give slack) (begin) history keeps me up at night (inside) (draw line) I keep putting up a fight (full time) (resigned)

idle by the time I learn to show you how the engine in me sputters out idle in the car outside of your room can’t remember what this one’s about idolize the pieces left inside me you forgot all the remnants of your DNA begin to rot wonder if I’ll get the chance to follow your example leading below ground all my memories replaced and hollow all that’s left embedded in the sound idolize the pieces left inside me you forgot all the remnants of your DNA begin to rot
5.
Envelop 03:27
come inside and make yourself at home your hair is soaked your skin is getting cold I’ll make you tea and I’ll leave you alone the truth is forming, the pattern’s being shown wind envelops, shakes me to my core seasons change and leave me wanting more stay the night and show me what it’s for hold me close, I’ll never close the door come inside and take what you might need I open myself to your potential greed all these warnings I never thought to heed in the morning I’ll wake up feeling free
6.
Cautiously 03:55
implanted longing for milk gone bad thanks to my uncle, thanks to my dad the men who taught me the violence of love try to unlearn it, it fits like a glove I haven’t changed much, I’m still that kid scared into silence, trying to be rid of their acceptance, but still I seek approval from men who want me weak and I agree cautiously and I agree to be free find strength in David, find peace in rage learn to accept it, page after page I fade so easy in illicit beds if I were your age I would be dead I’m no survivor, I can’t withstand my limp inflection my sweaty hands told it gets better but so have they their knives have sharpened, my shields decay and I agree cautiously and I agree to be free
7.
Milk & Honey 02:56
didn't mean to tell you that / can we take another stab? / in a year we'll be okay / can it wait another day
8.
Reaching 02:27
spill my head across the floor I don’t know why or know what for I get sucked in I can’t let go I get so scared I get so low you crawl across the forest floor I know your language to the core I get sucked through the open door I get so scared I get so low I’m
9.
Folded 03:29
who's always been? who's caught within? who pulled the pin? i'm caught up in your fever skin love forbidden
10.
See It Thru 02:15
return to learn about the evenings given the chance to start believing my shape expands to match the space I fill I am far gone it is relieving try not to look over my shoulder try to stop growing any older my shape consumes the space around me still I carry on with this disorder and see it through and see it through return to learn of contradiction I long to feed my inhibition all these mistakes I made will carry on I will hold fast to my condition and see it through and see it through
11.
bend toward the eye watching over me every night it’s no surprise find myself underneath the knife inside my mouth find broken fragments spit them out I keep holding out to see what comes up from the ground I can’t see thru but it’s all I want to do my fear withdrew and that’s all I need from you when I was young my fever like a smoking gun I thought they won but the pattern’s only just begun so if I grow old I’ll finally know what I can hold my hands will fold can’t grasp the beauty you behold I can’t see thru but it’s all I want to do my fear withdrew and that’s all I need from you
