1. the sky is a beautiful february pink the same color as your casket each time this time of year rolls around it makes me stop and think about how hearts are couches covered up in plastic CH and i don’t know if i can keep going i just keep wondering what the wind feels like what the wind feels like when it stops blowing 2. my lungs are a dutiful pulmonary pink the same color of your cheeks in the last hours each time this time of year rolls around it makes me stop and think about how lungs are vases watering wilting flowers CH

1. you kiss my forehead every morning when you’re going to work and i say i love you please be safe try not to worry about the strangers and the dangers that lurk inside my head cause they’ll make me make you be late i know one day that one of us is gonna bite the dust it kinda makes you wanna pull a thelma and louise i’m not a praying lady baby but I love you so much the thought of losing you makes me get down on my knees and say don’t let it be today 2. i kiss your lips every night when we’re going to bed and you say i love you have sweet dreams try not to listen to the bees buzzin’ in my head that we’ll be dead in the blink of an eye it seems it happens to the very best and worst of us and every single living creature in between i’m not a praying lady baby but I love you so much the thought of losing you makes me get down on my knees and say don’t let it be today Br. maybe, maybe, time is a fabrication yeah maybe, just maybe, we’re all pieces of one creation walking in our separate skin but the same energy it makes you get on your knees and say let’s celebrate today and hopefully i’ll be with you some way for eternity, what do you say? you and me you and me, always 1. you can give me liquor you can give me pills something to make me sicker than i already feel you can give me laughter you can give me hope somebody to look after when i can barely cope but you can’t read my mind neither can i go ahead and try tell me what you find you don’t know my brain strangely, we’re estranged how can i explain i’d never find the time you can't read my mind 2. you can give me music you can give me words sometimes i’m scared i’m gonna lose it sometimes words just make things worse you can give me questions you can give me space somewhere i can learn the lessons i’ve been questioning how to learn in this place but you can’t read my mind neither can i go ahead and try tell me what you find you don’t know my brain strangely, we’re estranged how can i explain i’d never find the time you can't read my mind is made up of the crazy stuff you can’t read my mind neither can i go ahead and try tell me what you find you don’t know my brain strangely, we’re estranged how can i explain i’d never find the time you can't read my mind 1. there's no stopping my frightening appetite i snap like a snake, always take the biggest bite oh, too busy chewing, and i know i'm not doing it right oh, no one ever told me how to hold a fork and knife so i swallow it whole take it all down losing control there's no stopping it now i regurgitate spit it back out must be something i ate there's no stopping it now 2. there's no stopping my rising fahrenheit sick as a dog, always crying every night oh, reticent to medicine, hesitant to taking care oh, cause when everyone leaves, my disease is always there so i swallow it whole take it all down losing control there's no stopping it now i regurgitate spit it back out must be something i ate there's no stopping it now here it comes again better out than in so i swallow it whole take it all down losing control there's no stopping it now i regurgitate spit it back out must be something i ate there's no stopping it now here it comes again better out than in 1. guess i was sweet on you since before i could tie my shoes since before i could feed myself before i learned to trust someone else grew up thinking it was okay that i could trust whatever you say didn't know what you were feeding me now i'm filling in the cavities cotton candy kind of love never ever filled me up we were spinning in your truth cotton candy kind of pain just a couple grains of sugar cane and a whole mess of blue 2. guess i just wanted more tired of living in your metaphor tired of caring bout what you think tired of hiding that i like pink woke up wishing it wasn't true watched the air fall out of you it took the air right out of me and i'm still licking you off my teeth cotton candy kind of love never ever filled me up we were spinning in your truth cotton candy kind of pain just a couple grains of sugar cane and a whole mess of blue guess i was sweet on you... cotton candy kind of love never ever filled me up we were spinning in your truth cotton candy kind of pain just a couple grains of sugar cane and a whole mess of blue 1. she eats her dinner hovered over the sink bends down to the faucet when she wants a drink she don't sit at the table, pour herself some wine she don't love herself enough, she won't give herself the time she grew up faster than most kids now all the boys treat her like her daddy did as far as she's concerned she's just rotting on the vine she don't love herself enough, she won't give herself the time she don't love herself she won't give herself the time she don't need nobody else telling her she ain't worth a dime the only hand she's been dealt is the hurting kind the battle scars are hard inside her heart so she keeps drawing deeper battle lines 2. she makes her money taking off her clothes it ain't what she likes it's just what she knows she ain't smiled for real since '89 she don't love herself enough, she won't give herself the time she don't love herself she won't give herself the time she don't need nobody else telling her she ain't worth a dime the only hand she's been dealt is the hurting kind the battle scars are hard inside her heart so she keeps drawing deeper battle lines 3. no one's coming to save the day they would've come by now if it worked that way she's just flickering out like a neon sign she don't love herself enough, she won't give herself the time
