Anthropology 01:42
You're cute and I'm sad, so the odds of me talking to you are low. When you speak I feel bad thinking of all the parts of you I'll never know, or maybe not so, but tonight I'll just stare at my phone while you stand in that corner, content and alone. Or maybe I'll just let it go and walk through this dense crowd of bros, and ask you what it's like to study anthropology. I guess we'll just have to see.

You broke down last night I asked if I could come over You said you're better off alone I, I can tell that you're tired and I guess I should be going home Things don't feel like they used to but I promise I still love you I know I should hang up before I crack my voice but company is something I'm not giving you the choice of Come over, claw the carpet, run your fingers down the wall Let frustrations be frustrations but never forget to call I know you're feeling alone and you know I've been there too but you have always been there for me so let me be there for you

Fettering 03:44
I'm feeling simple and I'm feeling that simple is not what you want form me. I get the sensation I'm taking a test and forgot how to read. My answers were long and stilted with tenses that disagree. You disagree. I'm feeling mild. I'm feeling dismayed and afraid of everyone I meet. Check my phone, avert my eyes back to my feet. The spark was quite small, but ignited a fire inside of me. Today I forgot to eat, eat. You're feeling unhappy. You're feeling alone and distracted by everyday normalcy. Your broken big toe a reminder of fettered anxiety. Shift the weight to your left, gain to losing of symmetry. You guess you'll just see. You don't like my choices. You don't like my mind, its disorganized, outpouring apathy. I'm sorry I always forget to tread thoughtfully. I'm sorry I usually frustrate the plans you make privately. Well, I wish you would share them with me. That's just not who I want to be. That's just not who I want to be. That's just not who I want to be.

I hope that you quit smoking before you're 21 cause I can hear it rattle round your lungs I hope that I quit hoping on things that won't come true cause I keep hoping I'll talk to you You hope that I might disappear for just a couple days cause I keep invading your space I think that you don't know it but you know I'm not alright I called you five times last night We hoped for something better but better never came I hope you don't mind I can't wait but I'll see you twice a week for an hour of two and I'll still hope that I can talk to you

Holding 04:27
I wished away your sorry gaze. It stayed the same. I kissed your face, forgot my name: rewind, erase. And you remember me when I was seventeen and half asleep. A dream of entropy, of swinging power lines from tree to tree, and you: the light between. Home: a transit theme; a patched up seam; a place to sleep. and Love: just shared belief, some naked feet, and brittle teeth. And I’m afraid to see how terrified you’ll be when I can’t stop the bleed I hold beneath with empty, broken parts that never heal or clean inside of me. I watched the way I made mistakes and never changed. You stayed the day and wrote my name back on my face. I’ll remember you, the space between our skins dispends and never moves.

Don't worry I've got some company on their way over My shallow speech is just a symptom of a cough that I've been getting over I'll walk this strew and feel that my feet are slowly getting slower We'll both meet in the middle of cat litter just to talk things over I didn't know that you felt so cold That;s why you steal half the covers I'll let you but I won't let you feel smothered So I'll move out the way for another but don't ask me cause I'll tell you how I loved her
7.
It's 2:30 in the morning on a Wednesday night, and the setting settled in while we swapped horrors from our lives: the fucked up shit we grew up with that made us feel alright. Yea, let's talk about our exes, trading sex for feeling fine. And the pills we might have swallowed or forgotten yesterday are lost amidst the futon, the black holes, and pillow spread. We're both fucked up and we know it, and we know that it's okay, so screw the grand design. I'm not aligned, and I'll never be that way. I don't care what I did last year. And I don't care. You're falling from the bedside and I'm falling in the ground, beneath the pines, the frozen soil, and the ice in dirtied mounds. And in those moments where I realize there's no other place to go I shove my fingers down my throat to purge my sick into the snow. But you said to me that you once had these pills inside you, too, and of the red tracks that would follow as you blindly staggered through. How can we wake up every morning while we feel the way we do? I'm not sure, but I'm awake now and just sitting here with you. And I don't care how I got here. And I don't care. And some nights it's just dreams of the proper way to grip a knife, but it's 2:30 in the morning and I think we'll be alright.
