Broken Art please, if we, with broken wings, please set this poem on fire, with broken hunger, oh no, when you’re ready, so when you’re ready, …that i can’t find Burn: 10 Year Reprise hello there, pull over, oh well, oh well, oh well, oh well, oh… hello there, pull over, oh well, oh well, oh well, oh well, oh how you burn me down… and it’s burning, you are turning, it’s concerning, you taste it, you can burn me all you like i won’t fall i won’t break it off hello there, this time. Note to Self (Still Here) Keep your head down, And the more that we travel, They inform me to pass, And it don’t belong here–I’m here I’m here, Here. Adelaide Open end engine, Don’t open this engine, … We feel our strongest, Adelaide, Plastic forks and knives, Adelaide, (You know you) Burn out my soul, Burn out my soul, Burnout–my soul, (Experience thoughtfulness) Burnout–my soul, (Experience deadliness) No, Please don’t, Adelaide, It’s over. Hearts Out Maybe, The maybe, A maybe, The maybe, Hold my hand, Hold my hand, Do you want me to say, Do you want me to say? And maybe, The maybe, A maybe, The maybe, ‘Cause I’m in the sound . . . Hold my hand, Hold my hand, What do you want me to say? What do you want me to say? What do you want me to say? . . . Maybe hope is beautiful, To touch something untouchable, Just like that older movie, And who could pull a gun on you? And maybe you’re okay with writing circles in the sand, And maybe you’re okay with all your heart held in your hand, (maybe you’re too beautiful) Is your heart out? (the world I bet and lost on them) What do you want me to say? Hearts Out ↓ Hidden Intention Can you, Can you, I do. Could we, Could we, For you. Hearts Outro You are everything to me.
set this poem on fire,
the bleed,
is hopeless from your eyes
could just climb a little higher,
would we be given up?
would we feel less alive?
and broken hearts,
you broke your things,
and i broke my arms,
’cause with broken feeling,
comes Broken Art,
from your breaking end,
to your broken start…
to see sights hopeless from your eyes,
if we could just shine a little brighter,
would we be good enough?
would we feel less alive?
come broken thirst,
with broken buildings,
and broken worth,
your broken children,
get broken worst,
you’ve broken meaning,
and you’ve broken hurt…
everywhere i go,
anytime you know,
sell it again,
out again,
out again…
come inside,
it’s intolerable,
but you won’t mind
climb up high,
’cause you’re the collectible
at least you’re sober this time
like this,
i said you can’t,
you can’t drive
it’s awesome how you twirl me around
it’s awesome how you burn me
it’s awesome how you turn this around
it’s awesome how you burn me,
down
at least it’s over this time
like this–i said you can’t,
you can’t drive
it’s awesome how you twirl me around
it’s awesome how you burn me
it’s awesome how you’ll turn this around
it’s awesome how you burn me,
down
and again and again
all alone in your head
the time that we spend
and you waste it,
to start over again
at least it’s over–
Hold me out,
And we don’t believe it’ll change,
We don’t believe you,
And the…
In two distinctly different paths,
I can relate,
To you
Break time and heal,
In your own special way,
Break ties with me–don’t be alone,
You knew but you bit anyway
I’m still here,
I’m here,
I’m still here,
I’m here,
I’m still here
Roaring and turning,
Crisscross I’m feeling,
Crisscross I’m learning
Shaking–not working,
Keep close O’s and X’s,
Keep me from burning
When we burn out the moon,
We don’t belong to August anymore,
We don’t belong to you
It’s over,
Adelaide,
It’s only just begun,
Adelaide,
You’re coming around,
Adelaide,
You’re falling,
You’re falling,
Down
Don’t quite feel right,
‘Cause we can’t afford the good stuff,
‘Cause we can’t afford that lie/life
It’s over,
Adelaide,
Well it’s only just begun,
Adelaide,
You’re coming around–
Adelaide
(You knew me)
With these wings by my side–
I’m alive
With these wings by my side–
I’m alive
With these wings, (Presence and ending)
By my side, (Out of mind–end what this is)
I’m alive (Lost within finding–Crisscross)
With these wings, (Prolonged to warning)
By my side, (Out of mind–do you know what/if this is?)
I’m alive (To stop fire from hurting–exhaust is pouring out of you)
Please don’t,
Look me in the eye,
While I’m spilling out these guts for you
You look the other way,
While I’m talking to you,
Talking to you
It’s over,
Adelaide,
It’s only just begun,
Adelaide–
The rain is beautiful,
And in your eyes,
I could be
Your light is wonderful,
And in your life,
I could be
This pain is beautiful,
And in your arms,
I could be
Your love is wonderful,
And in your heart,
I could be there . . .
If you’ve been shaking again,
Hold my hand,
If you’ve been slipping, slipping, slipping away
If you’ve seen ocean swallow moon–and you weren’t afraid,
Hold my hand,
If you want to be there . . .
You’re everything,
You’re everything,
You’re everything to me?
Hearts Out
The rain is beautiful,
And in your eyes,
I could be
Your life is wonderful,
And in your love,
I could be
You could try,
And figure me out,
I could be
The ups and the downs,
Come on alone,
And figure this out
If you’ve been trying your best,
Hold my hand,
If you’ve been pushing, pushing, pushing against
If you’ve seen galaxies collide at world’s end,
Hold my hand,
If you still want to be there . . .
You’re everything,
You’re everything,
You’re everything to me–
Hearts Out
You’re everything,
You’re everything,
You’re every fucking thing–
To me
And maybe in your eyes,
On this bridge between two highways,
Is a bridge for you and I
Unholy and divine,
No gods I could believe in girl,
And them no faith in I
Know the one without the cars?
‘Cause when we’re on this highway,
It’s just lovers and the stars
Just wipe it off your clothes,
Please don’t feel responsible,
For every single note
And maybe I should give a fuck and try to understand,
Why baby you’re okay with writing love songs to the sky,
I can’t shake the feeling girl some days I want to die
And maybe I’m just terrified of being who I am,
And maybe you’re okay with all your secrets in the light,
And maybe I’m still terrified of losing you and I . . .
(the sun below the median)
(steel railings meant to catch you–)
Is your heart out?
Is your heart out?
You’re everything,
You’re everything,
You’re everything to me–
Feel your heart,
Slip away?
Believe in love,
The same way?
Build a house,
With intentions?
Fill our mouths,
With attention?
