A Fish and a Bird

You're a fish
And I'm a bird
You're stuck in the water
I'm all over the world
I'll drown for you
If you wanted me to
Grant me this wish
I give you my word

Still pains me times a million
That I'm no longer in your photos
The place next to me, where you should be
I pose solo

Catch myself holding my breath
When I turn the corner onto the staircase
That you might be there
Jetlagged
Flowers
Waiting for me
Like I've been waiting for you

There's no one in the whole entire world I want to hug
To love
More than you
Although I know if we met again
You'd give me an empty embrace
Politely smile through niceities
Small talk

You're a fish
And I'm a bird
You're stuck in the water
I'm all over the world
I'll drown for you
If you wanted me to
Grant me this wish
I give you my word

Haven't you heard
I've run out of
All I could possibly give
A fish and a bird
Could fall in love
But where would they possibly live?

I'll drown for you
If you wanted me to
Grant me this wish
I give you my word

Target Practice

Target Practice

I've got ten stars counting down to zero on my wrist
Explode like alpha centauri when I make a fist
I gave you my secrets you earned just cause you exist
Now everything left is locked up but it won't be missed

Slam my heart against the fucking wall
Bullseye
"Grow apart" happens to us all
Don't lie

I flip through all the photos and I gaze at all the faces
It's not so easy for anyone to get in my good graces
Don't know what I'm doing still perusing your myspaces
Obsessed with your new piercing and all the precious time I've wasted

Hang my heart proudly on your wall
Beside your reindeer head
"Grow apart" happens to us all
But what you really mean is "dead"

This is all a game to you
Each "I love you" is the same to you
My usless heart
Safety pinned
To my skin
You win

Slam my heart against the fucking wall
Bullseye
"Grow apart" happens to us all
Don't lie

Hang my heart proudly on your wall
Beside your reindeer head
"Grow apart" happens to us all
But what you really mean is "dead"

It's Raining

It's Raining

It's raining, how appropriate, like the world just knew
Having rain falling down right now would fit the mood

It wouldn't feel right if the sun was out instead
The black-lite stars stuck to my ceiling are crashing on my head

What's a girl to do
But stay all day in bed

I wear my anger awkwardly, it hangs off me like a mess
Masochism becomes me, like a pig's blood soaked prom dress

If I'm not my faults then I dissapear
Misery's a part time job, I've made it my career

A damsel in distress
Wishing you were here

Try a smile in denial, pretending it's all good
Real tragedy feels funny, isn't quickly understood

Divide it all by comedy and what you've got left is time
Feel alive while breaking down, it's never worth the rhyme

I bet if I could
I would feel sublime

It's raining, how predictable, but never with objection
I splash puddles on purpose to get rid of my reflection

I'm human, I'm not special with my universal sorrow
Blinded by the sunshine, I got rainclouds you could borrow

Right now need I attention
I'll be fine alone tomorrow

Puzzle Piece

Puzzle Piece

I'm like a missing puzzle piece
Neglected and mistreated
Can never find my peace
Till my picture is completed

I search for others like me but I fumble
Mixed in with pieces of Sorry and Trouble
The thimble and shoe from Monopoly
Lost misfits just like me

Found what I want but wound up here instead
Pound a square hole with a misshapen peg
A plastic wishbone, a wild card
Fun for all ages but it's still much too hard

I'm like a missing puzzle piece
Neglected and mistreated
Can never find my peace
Till my picture is completed

So many different sides to me
No one fits me perfectly
Whose gonna be the performer?
Whose gonna be the sex?
Whose gonna be the music?
Whose gonna be next?

I'm curious to see who'll get to me first
Take even the worst if they're quick to quench my thirst
You touched my heart and botched my operation
Wipe the board clean cause I'm really impatient

I'm like a missing puzzle piece
Neglected and mistreated
Can never find my peace
Till my picture is completed

Like a missing puzzle piece
Gone without a trace
Picture's seen, at least
But really, what a waste
