Put My Words To Music.

I'm your watercolors un committing to design Like a puddle without reflection and the streets without their signs The ideas that you've been scratching to remove the smell of rain But instead your digging in my skin exposing me to pain Your the record I keep playing to rewind back to your lies Helping keep a heart safe distance, and detect nearing goodbyes Papercuts like broken hearts paint bruises on my smile Just like sweaty promises, you knew weren't all worthwhile I'll stretch my daytime weakness and save drama in a box Pinch the stupid things I say and hope it's one that locks Your eyes are un accusing but you're made of bitter shades You're the building blocks of carelessness & sharp like razor blades All the girls are tickled pink when you tape them on your wall So naive to feel this way we are blind to when we fall Suck up all my energy and tell me how it tastes To be the one to make our shapes and lay our hopes to waste You're hushing my lips and fingertips but nighttime lets me pass Excuses so perpetual i sit smudging words on glass I'm far below the surface of things you really see Held by hands of bitterness with pieces i can't be I'm tangled up in kisses and snagged on words you say Sacrificing everything when nothing is okay
