hollow and a wooden spoon hollow and a wooden spoon that tells me i may wait forever and it’s spreading no i know that it’s spreading i can’t wait to hold you in my arms i cannot wait another day i can’t wait to hold you in my arms i cannot wait, i cannot wait pooling pitch, pooling rust bring me down, fuck it up again corrosive, break my trust bring me down, fuck it right back up again sloughing a fruitful bloom sorry in a fruitful tomb that tells me i may wait forever my eyes search for your eyes will i ever gaze in a haze where time flies / stands still i can’t wait to keep you safe from harm tho i know i’m not perfect i can’t wait to hold you in my arms tho i know i’m not perfect no one’s perfect but i feel that i failed you before i even got a look at you i can’t wait to hold you in my arms i cannot wait another day i can’t wait to hold you in my arms don’t make me wait pooling pitch, pooling rust bring me down, fuck it up again this disease, this disgust bring me down, fuck it right back up again tender head, tender heart tear it out, curl it up again pooling pitch, pooling rust bring me down, fuck it right back up again how can i look after you when i can’t myself how can i be there for you when i’m not all there at all how can i provide for you when the roof over my head is rotting the fruit inside my fridge is rotting the thoughts inside my head is rotting the flesh beneath my skin in rotting rotting

Robots 03:19
i’ve fallen out of love before and so i tend to think that that should mean that i can do it again and yet i know myself too well, i know i’m prone to bouts of eternity sometime in the summer i think it was july i got a feeling and i didn’t know why i didn’t want to be a burden i didn’t know if i was certain threading up a needle tie me up in knots all with such precision little dainty robots but the strong and shining steel had rusted the kids and all their toys were busted i didn’t want to be a burden i didn’t know if i was certain i didn’t know how i was hurting i closed my eyes and shut the curtain

the balance, the blackness it’s all hanging in and hiding in i’m honest i promise but who’ll rub your back when you’re crying you’re making me twist baby steps in the sands of some of some making me twitch and i’m wringing my hands also the correct, the righteous took the left hand sinister path i’m honest i promise but when you’re upset who is making you laugh you’re making me twist baby steps in the sands of some foreign/home beaches of some making me twitch and i’m wringing my hands also biting bruised peaches run a hand thru my hair baby grains of pink sands from some foreign/home beaches from somewhere is my where and i’m wringing my hands blasting from pasts arms not quite extended for handshakes should be marking the end of this i’m left wringing my hands you’re coughing, i’m sobbing pure white and purge purgatory i’m honest i promise but when i give, what is given to me blasting from pasts i’m compartmentalizing you broke me and now i’m realizing you left me wringing my hands
