lyrics

These are tears from yawning
I’m not crying
I’m trying hard to stop the light
It’s a pattern we found in your room
That feels like years ago
And now, we’re filled with holes
Emotions piled together
Trying hard to replacing the ever changing fear of our bodies
East coast sunset
Looking at your new clothes and green eyes
Don’t forgive me, just forget because
We were a dream, it was nice at fifteen
Lying to your family
I would come over on sundays and clean the house
You would come over every night trying to be quiet as a mouse
Every friday night, we’d meet on the porch
I don’t know how i made it without him
You took down the picture of me
That was stuck on your wall years ago
I missed my last chance to say goodbye
I was hiding back in my home
Remembering what we’d smoke
And now that old house is filled with holes
Matter
Please let this matter, please let this matter
No one can hear this or know that i need it
I’ve got nowhere to turn
Nowhere to turn
It’s been too long since i had the chance to say goodbye
You moved on or found a new life
You found some nice tall cis significant other
And you took them home to your mother
And said “hey ma, this is my brother”
Matter
Please let this matter
My bridges are burned
And i’ve got nowhere to turn
A pair of figures in the wasted sand
I’m tired of coming home late
Someone will listen and take
I’m tired of coming home sick
Please let somebody care about this
