I've put you together So you will forever Stay special in how I perceive you Store bought and derived From movies and songs I like Some part of what I know from them has to be true I do this all of the time Repeat, rewire And I am unafraid Of being completely unchanged I've got it together I'll stay this way forever Mechanical and without compromise Self-made and maintained My parts are the same As the day I came into my own life What does that even mean? They' just sound like words we're supposed to believe Mechanical and without compromise As the day I came into my own life Repeat, rewire Descend and expire Live free of ire Or rest in the fire

On the other side of the door Is the blunt sound of my knuckles Letting the room know they have one more To witness the night unfold Circles of strangers become temporary friends At least not long before the sun ascends But we trade quip for wit And send repetitious sirens into Paper thin barriers of brick Until we say we have to call it quits soon Between our newfound allies We say we'll talk to beyond that night And if we awake unswayed In the glow of morning, real late In solidarity of unfocused faces Whose clarity knows no time wasted

Revolution 03:03
Who remembers where we began I tip my hat to the girl if she can I swear the dots on the ceiling are stars But he two could not be further without dark The only revolution that we're a part of Is the one rounding the rays above But if we stare into each other Both side to side, or one under We will uncover what nobody knows What no one else could ever sow From another person And we can be certain

You tell me all about your day Because I'm your secret star, you have so much to say Until you've wasted so much of the next one That the previous rotation has been long done So leave me to rest uneasy And finished with feeling I know so much about you You're an idiot, but somehow prove That you're beautiful when you're so honest This detail, I'm so cursed with luck that I caught it I'm too frayed and tired For some bugging desire
7.
I breathe in the mist Make one last wish I look to my side Everything will be all right Twenty toes on the edge Four heels are left We'll mock gravity From the last lands we leave I will take care of everything If you're falling into the sea You pass the breeze through your throat Hope so much you don't choke You look to your side Everything will be all right There is no fire to catch us But we know no bad luck Two pairs become one Forward motion and plunge Our bodies are weightless As if we are sedated And I peak through to find You're nowhere in sight Yet, my palm is still held By a soul I know well I would condemn the steps I've taken But where I was supposed to be, I've made it And I have waited the longest time To keep this promise of mine
8.
Harboring 02:00
The door was open, and the room vacant With an emptiness that was perfectly stated Leaving my head is in a cloud And I'm starting to choke aloud But from behind, I felt presses next to my ear Spinning on my heel, who else should appear? Our arms slowly clutch The backs of the bodies they touch This is everything Worth harboring
9.
Acrobatic 03:06
Together we spend Hours with each other to no end As if we're alone And we are alone Your fingers on my shoulder Acting out like we're older But we're for ourselves We are by ourselves Fringe landscapes emanate Beyond my sheets that we've draped Around us And only us Like unharnessed static We become automatic As some unseen force of habit We're elegantly acrobatic As if we're alone And we are alone
10.
Closer 02:50
How pleasing to me It is to see Such satisfying unity So infallibly amazed I am by the euphoric haze That now consumed my days And know that it is true When I say I love you When I say that I love you Though I've watched the passage of many moons You have not come too soon
