Ode To A Ghost

I don't wanna share you
I can't bare
Seeing you smile over there
Like a wall of smoke
The way you choke
On your words
Is deafening
You're picking at a healing wound
You know just what you're doing too
Tryna walk on water
When you can't even
Break the surface
It's the way you stare
I know what you're saying
Hear it in the air
The chords that you're playing
You've got a taste for liquor
And it shows
You say in Latin anything goes
You're walking with ghosts
You're pretty in the sunset
Can't you see?
Or is it just the flames fanned at our feet?
Take a sip of smoke, said you'd quit last week
Say it tastes like bittersweet memories
You're still the same at your rotten core
Kissing petals on your grave killed the cat for sure
You don't beat around the bush When you bite off heads
It's the way you stare
I know what you're saying
Hear it in the air
The chords that you're playing
You've got a taste for liquor and it shows
You say in Latin anything goes
You're dancing with ghosts
And I wouldn't be the first to say it
Not even close
It's not a competition
The clock ticks on its own
Little hands
Little numbers
Pass by the time
Your smile makes the hands stop
A red traffic light
It's the way you stare
I know what you're saying
Hear it in the air
The chords that you're playing
You've got a taste for liquor and it shows
You say in Latin anything goes
Ode to a ghost

Lock fingers at the bus stop
Lock eyes as you walk away
I looked back first but
You don't have it in yourself to look away
It's getting darker
The clouds are grey
It'll only get harder
If you stay
I take my time
On the way home
Watch the streetlamps
Flicker and go
Black in the night and
Sing them a soul
I'm grasping at your hand
Please let me fall
And take a look at my sleeve
I wear my heart there just for you
I'd sell my soul in a millisecond
Darling please it's true
I'd carve your name into my skin
Just so I'd never forget
The naivety of youth
And smoke on your hoodie
Lock the door to the inside
Lock the door to your head
Say you don't want to think right now
Don't want to fix this mess
It's getting darker
The clouds heavy
Rain down your face
You'll never be ready
I took my time
On the way home
Blinked as the streetlamps
Flicker and go
Black in the night and
Sing them a soul
I'm grasping at your hand
Don't let me fall
And take a look at my sleeve
I wear my heart there just for you
I'd sell my soul in a millisecond
Darling please it's true
I'd carve your name into my skin
Just so I'd never forget
The naivety of youth
And smoke on your hoodie
And take a look at my cheek
I wear my heart there just for you
Closer to my skin, my eyes, my lips
Darling please it's true
I threw away my pride
Just so I'd never forget
The smile in your eyes
And smoke on your hoodie

Lick my lips
They're cherry flavour
Check your watch
Do me a favour
Dance with me
The dance macabre
To this song
I'm singing
Don't miss a beat
I'm holding you tight
Don't let me go
Dont breathe tonight
Let's not confuse
These summer blues
With something deeper
Than your rockstar cool
Tie my hair
With a red red ribbon
Walking down the stairs as you
Take off your coat
I feel the air
Around you waltzing
Watch you blinking slowly
Run your hands through my hair
You braid my hair
Just how I like it
Don't mind the time
You talk in poems
Let's go somewhere
Somewhere loud and lively
Might even let me
Play my acoustic
Don't miss a beat
I'm holding you tight
Don't let me go
Dont breathe tonight
Let's not confuse
These summer blues
With something deeper
Than your rockstar cool
Tie my hair
With a red red ribbon
Walking down the stairs as you
Take off your coat
I feel the air
Around you waltzing
Watch you blinking slowly
Run your hands through my hair
And we don't talk about it
Anymore
No we don't laugh about it
We don't sing about it
We don't dance about it
Anymore
Tie my hair
With a red red ribbon
Walking down the stairs as you
Take off your coat
I feel the air
Around you waltzing
Watch you blinking slowly
Run your hands through my hair

I used to like sweet things
Now I've got you on my lips
Like tar in my lungs
Just can't shake your kiss
Something violent about your eyes
Hands on my hips
Keep your mouth zipped
Don't let it slip
I think I'm prey to you
I'm sure you hate me too
Ash on your hoodie
Sweet like candy
Red like my dress
We're out too late
The moon sings merrily
They drink like pirates
Walk me home
As the sun rises
Honey on the ferris wheel
Sharing all your secrets
I'm far too kind to care and you're
Far too sly to keep 'em
Walk along the coast with me
Horizon's blue and ivory
Baby can you humour me
Let's hangout as the sunsets maybe
Stuck on your brain
Like syrup in your teeth
Round and round
Like a record on repeat
Running through a field
At half past three
Nail polish the colour of
A glacé cherry
I think I'm prey to you
I'm sure you want me too
Ash in your pockets
Your face in a locket
Red like my lips
We're out too late
The moon sings merrily
They drink like pirates
Walk me home
As the sun rises
Honey on the ferris wheel
Sharing all your secrets
I'm far too kind to care and you're
Far too sly to keep 'em
Walk along the coast with me
Horizon's blue and ivory
Baby can you humour me
Let's hangout as the sunsets maybe
I think I'm loosing you
You cling on fast
To what you can grip
But it won't last
It'll all collapse
We're out too late
And I'm caught up
In the silence
Walk me home
Our breath collides

You've got rock in your blood
Don't ya?
I can tell at one glance
Bet your folks do too
I've grown bitter I admit it
Your stale persona fits it
The ideal I depicted
In my head
Fix my skewed perception
A nicotine affection
Met by no correction
You're a lovely affliction
To have
But so am I
Salty breeze
In our hair
Your arms round me
Seasons in the air
I'm glowing darling
Put your cigerette out
And breathe me in
Until your lungs give out
You're pretty when you choke
On my perfume
Say it smells like
Brandy
And cherries in the
Summer gloom
We'll die young
Like all the greats
Singing like angels
To Lana
Lana Del Rey
I've got music in my blood
Don't I?
You can tell at one glance
It's no suprise
You look sour, do you admit
You think I'm charming?
We're doing no harm
On the wall outside
The party
Fix my clouded perception
A nicotine affection
Met by no reflection
I'm a lovely affliction
To have
But so are you
You're pretty when you choke
On my
perfume
Say it smells like
Brandy
And cherries in the
Summer gloom
We'll die young
Like all the greats
Singing like angels
To Lana
Lana Del Rey
And we'll pray to anything
We can think of
Cuz we're so fucked up we're sane
And years from now
You'll still know my name
Tattooed on your soul
When you say grace

Sins in your soul
Like a rhythm
Tounge sharpened
Cutting like a river
Blue in your veins
And your fingers
Heart in my mouth
Blistered fingers
You've got your eyes on the world
I've got my eye on you
A storm on the cusp of your
Favourite tune
Tempest, temptress
All watching you
When you stop
What it is you do
He says "you know what you mean to me"
When he takes his headphones off for me
I give my eyes to you
You give your ears to me
Tracing stars on our cheeks
Dancing in the living room
Summertime and
Kerosene fumes
Humming amongst the
Dandelion blooms
You sound like a memory
I once knew
You've got a crack in your head
I've got one matching yours
I stole something from you
I thought you didn't want
Blood isn't thick
If you wash your hands
And it only stains
If its out the hot tap
He says "you know what you are to me"
When he takes his headphones off for me
When he weaves his lies so honestly
When he talks from the heart
So quietly
He says "you know when I look at you
I see what I've wasted embraced in you
In your pretty voice
The way your fingers move
In your torrid taste for
Cloudy days and
Rain on the roof"
When he takes his headphones off

It's been a while
Since I heard my name from your lips
But oh you look
Too clean
I still crave
Your warmth
You're my sun
My icarus
My soul
And it's starting to look like summer
Again
We're only getting
Older but
We're younger in our heads
You're starting to look like summer
Again
You used to wipe
Off the stain
When my lipstick left a mark
Like you could rub away the rain
And when you'd smoke
It'd make me laugh
You had that timeless look about you
Baby
Standing in your heavy jacket
And it's starting to feel like summer
Again
We're only getting
Older but
We're younger in our heads
You're starting to feel like summer
Again
And I thought I met your ghost
Standing under that streetlight
Like a moth at my window
Standing tortured in the rain outside
I could see it in your eyes
That you'd shed a thicker skin
And that summer
Was closing
In
And you're starting to look like summer
Again
We're only getting older but
I'm younger in my head
You're starting to feel like summer
Again

Beautiful Black

Black like the cherry colour I love so much
On my nails, in my hair and in my blood
Black like the depths of the deep dark sea
The belly of the ocean is carnivorus
Black like the vinyl records I smashed
With a hammer then hung on my wall
Black like the perfume bottle of my favourite
Perfume that I've ever bought
And I don't think the temperature
Has changed much since last autumn
But the air seems to be thicker and
I can't see through the fog
For fucks sake it's just september
But I really don't remember
Finding it so hard to breathe
Last year
It's just the way the cliff crumbles
Its just the way we weather
Losing track of time
Heads pressed together
You'd stay forever
But would you brave the grit?
It's easy to fly when your
Wings aren't clipped
Black like the pit of your stomach
When your heart drops
Black like the dark of your eyes
When it's night time
Black like the sky as it thunders when the leaves change
Black like the 3 inch heel boots I wore
In a mosh pit with the heel hanging off
I got them from my sister but
I think I pulled them off
And I don't think that the weather
Has changed much since last autumn
But the air seems to be thicker and
I can't see through the fog
For fucks sake it's just September
But I really don't remember
Finding it so hard to breathe
Last year
It's just the way the pillars crumble
Its just the way we're tethered
Losing track of our minds
Heads pressed together
You'd stay right here
But would you face the music?
It's easy to fly when your
Wings aren't clipped
It's easy to die for someone
Not so much to live
Black like the broken piano in my living room
Black like the hole in my soul where you used to live
Black like the cat on my street who's not a stray but can't go home
She sleeps under cars when it's
Raining

Tie up your hair
And put your blues on
Like I'm not even there
And I watch
Humming on your sofa
Like a lost soul
We took the train home
And you said nothing
Yet there were no words left
Unsaid
Would it be so terrible
To let it be
To fold the page
Not have to wait and see
Oh we could not find out
What happens next
We've already hurt so much
So while we still draw breath
I beg a god I don't believe in
To stop the clocks
A little pocket of space
Where we can breathe
And every now and then
I feel time slow
And for a moment
You can see
A forgettable dream
Don't leave me in this place
With the lights off
There are a thousand hidden faces
Watching my every move
It cuts me under my skin
When you shut that door
And there's something sharp
In the way that you trace my palm
With your calloused
Fingertips
It wouldn't be so terrible
To let it be
To leave your bookmark between the paper
You hated when the pages creased
Oh we could not find out
What happens next
We've already hurt so much
So while the stars are near
I beg a god I don't believe in
To stop the clocks
A little pocket of space
Where we can breathe
And every now and then
I feel time slow
For a moment
You can see
A forgettable dream
And our hands will always hold
Our bones will never break
Our souls forever bonded
Let's not do another take
Take your time to take in
All our little mistakes
Let our lungs forever breathe
And our hearts never ache
I beg a god I don't believe in
To stop the stars
A little pocket of space
Where we can see them shinning
And if they never fall
Then I bet time'll slow
For a moment
You can see
An unforgettable dream
(Let our hands never waver
Let our bones never ache
Our fingers entwined
No need for remake
Watch the time pass by
But never slip away
And our lungs will forever burn
And our wings mend in our wake

Fuck
What's a song
Meant to be?
I could write you poetry
I could sing you poems
Paint you places you've never seen
Kids
What's a kid?
Am I too old to be a kid?
Oh I could be a kid for you
If you wanted me to
And I know that you'd sing with me
Whether it's incoherent or poetry
I know that we'd jump together
In the pit below the sunset
I know that you'd dance for me
Let me play you again and again
Like a music box ballerina
Just to watch you spin
Hold up your lighters
Let the sky burn
Our bodies and our bibles
The scrapes left on our knees
We all carry
The very same sin
Souls that inhabit
A human skin
Rose
What's a rose
Without it's thorns
I'm reduced to nothing
Vulnerable so
Cut me open
Slice me through my stem right to my
Core
Deep inside
Where I hide
From the outside screaming
Let's go home
And watch a movie
Put out your cigerette
On my wall
And I know that you'd scream with me
Whether it's shitty lyrics
Or a melody
I know that we'd jump together
In the pit just as the sun sets
I know that you'd dance for me
Let me play you again and again
Like my very own court jester
Just to watch you spin
Hold up your lighters
Let the sky burn
Our bodies and our bibles
The scrapes left on our knees
We all carry
The very same sin
Souls that inhabit
A human skin
Brandy breath
On cigarettes
You smell just like the movies
Put your hand in my hand
Honey
On your shoulders so I can see
The lights and the adrenaline
Pulsing through my veins
There's something in the air
My dear
I bet that we look crazy
Hold up your lighters
Let the sky burn
Our bodies and our bibles
The scrapes left on our knees
We all carry
The very same sin
Souls that inhabit
A human skin

I feel your tears sting
Through my veins they sing
Like a snail carves it's trail
Your words in my ears ring
Your music a haunting thing
So sweet and sorrowful
And it hurts to think
That you've crawled in my head and
Poisened my songs
Write
In the steam
Ink deep
In your skin
I trace the words on your arms
With my finger, love
As though I could
Be without a heart
Then it gets dark
I'd cremate my soul
So you could hold it close
And whisper to me with your fingertips
Your delicate promises
Promise the end as it is
Soft and mellow
And I wanted to speak
But I caught my tounge
And watched
The shadows dance on your wall
Write
In the steam
Ink deep
In your skin
I trace the pattern on your arms
With my finger, love
As though I could
Be without a heart
Then it gets dark
And the hourglass
Drains away
The last grains of sand
Fall like a fable
From your silver tounge
Your touch is my religion
In the fading sun
It hurts
To meet your gaze
Therefore we write
In the stream
Deep as ink
In your tattoos
They spin a tale
Unforgotten on the
Tip of your tongue
And I rehearse
That verse
Like a hymn
I've played my part
