Did you think this was your story?
Well, let me clear a few things up.
There's one protagonist, and if you're not sure,
it's who you can't take your eyes from.
Were you after something beautiful?
Let me help you comprehend.
Grotesque is a near-rhyme.
A straighter line to the same bad end.
All eyes on me.
Make your jokes, bite your nails.
I'm not here to make friends.
(all eyes on me)
I have lurked just out of frame for too long.
I won't be pushed back again.
I am singular.
I am a rare thing.
I am under the surface,
under the skin.
I am coming out.
I am cutting in.
I am breaking the surface,
breaking the skin.
All eyes on me.
Oh, what a sight!
What a sight to see!
What a last sight to see!

Oh, what joy to be truly known!
Oh, what joy to be never alone!
Say goodbye to the unobserved life.
Let's say goodbye to the unobserved life.
Oh, the world is a stage
and the city is a stage
and the streets are a stage
and the sidewalks are a stage.
The stage is a stage
and the wings are a stage
and the seats are a stage
and the aisles are a stage
Your house is a stage
and your bedroom is a stage
and your dreams are a stage
where you will stand, unashamed.
All eyes on you.
You will stand, unashamed
under their loving gaze.
Stand, unashamed.
Shed your skin, speak your name.

You were knocking at your window, but you are under your desk.
Come out.
We saw your face in the bright spring air, but you havent seen the sun in weeks
Oh, come out
How can you keep yourself apart like this?
Don't you know you shouldn't be kept apart like this?
Come out, Come out.
There is so much to show you from up here.
And the world is so much stranger
The world is so much stranger than your worst fears.
There's no place like hull crush depth, gazing out through a window of skin.
Dive in.
Here are sights that have never been seen, all tentacles and spines and fins
Oh, dive in.
You know it takes a long time to digest.
You'll have all the time that you need to digest it.
You'll have all the time in the world.
We've got all the time in the world.
Dive in, dive in
There is so much to show you down here.
And the world is so much stranger
The world is so much stranger than your worst fears.
There are things that you'll
never understand
if you keep your feet on dry land.
The world is so much stranger than your worst fears.

My Favorite Accident

I have a pile of precisely arranged stones, and it is mine.
You are a careless blend of chemistry and bones, and I am yours.
I am yours.
You're my favorite accident
underneath all this emptiness.
The best thing to happen to exist.
Time marches on
and it won't be long
until we're gone
and forgotten.
but until then
Isn't it nice to have someone
to mean something to?
for someone like you
someone like you
You're my favorite accident.
The best thing to fall into my hands.
You're my favorite accident.
The best thing to wash up on the sand.
You're my favorite accident
and I don't believe I'll ever understand.

More Than We Deserve

An empty Calvert Street
Two feet of snow has blocked the sidewalk so
I'll walk where one day
I'll tell my children not to go
A song for a wedding waiting in my headphones
The streetlights haloed silver through glasses fogged up
I am alone, but not for long
I am alone, but not for long
Your figure, a mirror image moving towards me
An image I will keep with me for the rest of my life
This is a gift
That I never knew that I could ask for
A reflection
of some brighter world behind this one
Behind this one
Sometimes we are given more than we deserve
Sometimes we are given more than we deserve
Sometimes I can see more beauty
than my burnt out heart can hold
Sometimes we are given more than we deserve
More than we deserve
