Broken Words

Every time you close your eyes
Could you speak to me again?
And every breath you never got to breathe
Is a tattoo of my failure on my body
A gentler touch of the finer things
I am an idea that burnt up
Broken words and broken thoughts
Lend me your ear for confession
Every breath
That I take
Is a reminder of the better things
The way that things could be
Caustic praise, all your brighter days
Are just a compass in your pocket
Wasting time on a dimmer light
I never had plans for me without you

Lost Cause

I am another lost cause you missed
I am the broken engine that you wished you fixed
And there’s room for improvement as I’m sure you’ve seen
You threw me down the river just to make me clean
Remember when you had so much to lose
I know I do
I am breaking my rules for you
I think I’m climbing up this hill
When I’m at the top I won’t enjoy the view
I’ve been reserved a thousand times
Counted the lines
That you filled with lies
Won’t be thinking of you when I’m left behind
Who am I kidding?
I’ve lost my mind
I’m looking for
Some good news
forget about all the inconsistencies
what they meant to me
how it felt to have a victory
I got some good news that you need so see
I pretended I had room for empathy
In this rusty, broke down, fucked heart of mine
Convinced you that you caring was nothing but a crime
I think I’m at the point where I’m gonna jump and fall
relapsing on you and thinking about it all

What is the truth my dear?
What do you need to hear
To make it so you sleep tonight?
Staring at the wall again
I saw your eyes dart towards your hand
You’re doing what comes easily to you
Let me come bury you
Dropping dirt on top of you
Your family will get what’s left
Let it come naturally
I don’t know it either but
I will wait til ya do
Dropping chunks of the atmosphere on your lap
Breathing is never enough for you
I’m just Eli
Just the fuckin afterbirth
Sorry that i let you down
You’re so beautiful
And in your own head
Tell me quickly before I have to go
I am honest, you know this I promise
A safe bet means nothing from me
I’ll take what’s left, leave you bereft of anything you once held dear
