Dandy From Home

If you’re looking for an easy way out I got some cyanide pills at my house Shine a light Take control of your life And mine I never loved being left out So let’s make it a suicide pact Then when we leave We’ll leave together And live…

I watch the sun rise once a month Wipe the creases off my palms Tracing in a few new ones Feeding the mourning doves The time we’re given’s not enough Would one more day be too much Rinse my palette on the front lawn Mixing the petals I…

TV dinner on the floor Mattress blocking the door You don’t have to hear me anymore I’ve got more notes than chords I should’ve known walls would come down Swinging that sledgehammer around They told me it’d be a long climb over the hill…

Crawling around in a tiger hat and temporary tattoos Pulled myself up with straps I fashioned from my father’s boots I’m dancing with my laces tied together I’m walking in the same skin I wore ten years ago Same blisters on my ankles from…

I need a pen to write down what you said You have a way with words like nobody else Like nobody else I want to get a better view (What did you say) I said I want to see things a little better I'm a big fan of how you write your letters…

I miss the days I'd take my shirt off and complain about the weather What can I even say anymore When did I become the problem I don't want to turn around and do the same things I did Before October Before I knew her Before October…
