External World

You speak to me incisively
It’s piercing
And when you draw back the other way
You come out clean
I don’t feel how much has changed
Until later
But you spoke a chasm into being
Leaving me confined
Tell me are you holding on to trouble?
Tucked away but still it waits for us
I wished for it all
Visceral
But you didn’t demand all too much
No external world
I turn to you relentlessly
A witness
Surveying each choice I make
And every wreck
I wish I could act privately
Keep secrets
And stay on the straight and narrow
For the few watching
Tell me are you holding on to trouble?
Tucked away but still it waits for us
I wished for it all
Remorseful
And I know I can demand too much
No external world
Come to me
All alone ‘cause I’m lonely
Come to me
All alone when I’m lonely
Come to me
All alone ‘cause I’m lonely
Come to me
All alone ‘cause I’m lonely

Soften the Blow
04:33

When you soften the blow
And make it easier for me
When I’m feeling so low
You have an indulgent energy
What a simple pleasure
Acting out growing up next to you
Playing house
We built a home made just for us two
So nourish me
Where you go is where I will be
When I’ve been running on empty
So nourish me
Where you go is where I will be
In the esteem that you lend me
Little affections
Calling to check in
Reminds me of the state I’m in
A mirroring
I have a love I can repay
Because you won’t look the other way
I have a love I can repay
Because you won’t look the other way
I have a love I can repay
‘cause you won’t look the other way
Whenever I am doubting,
With it or without it
I have a love I can repay
‘cause you won’t look the other way
Whenever I am doubting,
With it or without it
