Dark

I don't wanna cry in your t-shirt ever again
When my anger was a compliment
Like how your brain works
Magical thinkers trying to be friends
Tried to let you forget me, but
My Celtic cross was heavy
When it hit your fucking teeth
I'm sorry you felt undermined
Now I'm tryna make a racket
In the back of your mind

Try to wait the night out
Try to keep the light out
Only the moon left to out smart
We cannot run our way out of the dark

I've got agency but imagine me
Lying naked in your lap
Before a gathering of screaming fans
I'm your guitar
Mute me gently with the palm of your hand
So self-conscious
Awareness, just a catalyst
I'm scared
I close my eyes and picture this
Summer corn and a tea tree toothpick
A new song that makes you wanna make music

We try to wait the night out
Try to keep the light out
Only the moon left to out smart
We cannot run our way out of the dark

I imagine you
Back in the cocoon
I know you miss your mommy
You can change your name
I know you didn't get to do
Everything you wanted to
You leave your body
Just one more ice cream scoop out of your brain
Pink matter, dark matter
Glass shattered, corporate ladder
Cake batter, splatter paint
Patron saint, all this pain

Try to wait the night out
Try to keep the light out
Only the moon left to out smart
We cannot run our way out of the dark
