mist 01:55
i only see everything slowly dissolving its boundaries i feel small your presence feels like mist
2.
digging inside to find the wall slow moving dam does not break but shapeshifts into a new person hidden behind you and i and everyone we know turning my face do you see me now? splitting my name? fragments found inside hospital rooms of me of you? when you couldn't move? i removed myself when the night fell I don't remember when I slept I just remember I split into one- two. a void deeper than I know walls containing fluorescent lights hospital hallways covered in white my mother crying behind worried eyes my father frozen in time i split into one- two.

you 01:50
water flows out from me and into you then back to me splitting into two faces of the moon you im not seen until you- the sky turns black and then there's you 7 points on a star one pointing towards the woods you what seemed like empty space was actually elven stars creating a bridge to you

shapeshifter 02:50
sighing everytime we kiss i miss feeling the places and spaces you touch that no one has ever attempted to touch and water fills me up and pours forming rivers that your fingers swim in calling me in and my breathing ceases when you're looking in my direction mossy green eyes almost drowning but not yet use my eclipses as something to hold onto i hope i'm something that you can hold onto is fire something that you can hold onto? (im a shapeshifter and ill shapeshift into anything you can hold onto)
5.
the birds just the birds just the birds just the birds sing ring in my ear and you sing ring in my ear my ears they long for the touch of your crystalline voice the sounds you make when i say things your being is quite not ready to hear im quite not ready to bare life without you i knew since the first i was quite not ready for the last time moves slow now like a dream and everything starts to become one continuous moment to moment of your sounds when you laugh or the sound of your smile the sound of you smile feels like when im taking a shower after a long day and nestling in bed i want to nestle into you my love i didnt know what other way to say it waking up hearing the birds and hearing you.

did 03:34
i lose myself and become a boy i find myself becoming a boy sometimes i love you like a boy does im scared to be myself sometimes because the why's "you aren't this way all the time" cause half the time i am asleep someone else comes in to be me for you and you and you and you this is not new just new to you

chi town 03:13
silence sounds like silence sounds like silence sounds like me underneath the high ceilings of a library student study silence sounds like footsteps and ac the hum of air vents silence sounds like this pen silence feels like like birds chirping in my chest sometimes it can feel like...hollow underneath the ground is where i lay my body to feel the silence grounding like when i'm with you and your friends in a city i've never been to before
8.
thoughts stop drop to my stomach and it feels like an ocean my body sways as if swimming in a realm that is clearly not water you're clearly not water when chunks of time are raped from your hands thoughts stop drop to my groin cloudy eyes grow numb permeating my body starts to lose its sense of focus and i start to fall but my breath picks me up i am fragmenting but you pick me up and gather the pieces thoughts stop drop to my chest bringing me back to where i was left pacing waiting to leave this heavy humid room pacing waiting suffocating from the fumes but feeling release when smoking you aquarius baby you're clearly not water

about

most songs are written about someone in my life who is helping me grow. i hope i am helping them grow too. other songs are of splitting, from one gender to another. from one person to another. always two, never one. all are quiet though because i've spent this year so far by myself being a hermit in my room.
