"Too Close For Comfort"
Written by usernames_r_lame

I drew a cat while you messed with the back of your guitar
And it was nice
And quiet
And we didn’t have to pretend
Or speak
Just sit and do what we do when we are alone
As if we were alone
Except we weren't;

And when you left I remembered how comforting it is to be in the same room with you
i didn’t want to let go
More than before
and I almost wished you would turn around
and come back to kiss me
one more time
or two more times
Tell me you didn’t have to go
even though we both know how tired I was
And all the in between;

You
are like the forest
When the wind makes the leaves sound like rain
You
are like side walks
with flowers growing from the cracks in my grandmas old neighborhood
You
are like the stones
I’ve never known how to skip and summer nights watching teenagers cross the street in laughter
Damp asfault
Bronze lighting
Cars beeping
And me
The ocean a constant soundtrack
To that place;

I don’t know what I’m doing
And I keep thinking that
And I know you’ve told me to stop worrying so much
I try
I’ll try

F.E.A.S.T

I rip at the flesh and gnaw on the bone
The numbness dissolving things we call home
Agonizing prophets, knife in the back
You paint me with lies so at least paint me black
 
Fight or flight, day to night
Living with another lie
 
Feasting once again
Every fucking year
At least let me die
Suffering for nothing
Take whatever comes
 
Feasting, feasting
 
F.E.A.S.T
 
I welcome the spirits of yesteryear
Maggots remain within everything you fear
Devour the rancid scraps that I choose
To serve at your table ‘fore the hangman’s noose
 
Feasting once again
Every fucking year
At least let me die
Suffering for nothing
Take whatever comes
 
Feasting, feasting
 
F.E.A.S.T
 
To sever the ties
These veins denied
My heartless void
Can’t keep you alive
 
SO YOU CAN PAINT ME BLACK
 
Feasting once again
Every fucking year
At least let me die
Suffering for nothing
Take whatever comes
 
Feasting, feasting
 
F.E.A.S.T
