Hectic
Staring at a wall, thinking of this love for you. It’s filling like the kitchen sink. Can’t understand why we can’t keep it tidy. The clutter’s like a dizzy spell, you know i’ve been here before. Some mess we’ve made of innocence - oh hurry away from me. But if i’m forever honest, we could reel it in. If I’m forever honest… If I’m forever honest, we could laugh out in the street.
Hectic x2
Knowledge, bite my apple and let’s take this outside. Oh god i’ll fight you by the gardenbanks and i’ll push you down in the mud. but my wisdom swayed just this much stronger than my left hook so there i stood, withstanding. Suddenly recalling what sarah once said to me. She said ‘we only can forgive when we realize we’ve done the same thing.’ i know i’ve hurt others worse than what you ever said to me, so I will try to empathize instead of comparing my grief.
You’re shame’s a broken broom. Shall i let you in again?
Come sweep up little pieces of my most magnificently colored tears. We could splash in the rainbow puddles. We could splash in the rainbow puddles.
Hectic x4
