Orange Peels

Is That Why You’re Here

I sleep with piles of clothes in my bed so it’s not so empty

Should have finished that chapter on dismantling codependency

This morning I heard every damn car alarm in the city

I think about you out there, indulge in jealousy and pity

But the truth is when it hits oh the truth is I can’t fix it

I thought you knew me the best knew me the best knew me the best

Your dogmas slightly flawed and filled with weeds

Oh you’d love to see me down, down, down on my knees

And I pause when I think about that

That everything I love is slightly fraudulent

Even me

But the truth is when it hits oh the truth is I cant fix it

I thought you knew me the best knew me the best, knew me the best

I could be anybody else I thought you knew me the best Knew me the best Knew me the best

I could be anybody else

If I paint a still life of my current situation

There would be alot of tools I use to subdue procrastination

The house is filled with unmade sheets and dishes piled high

But mostly what I’d focus on is the negative space of you and I

I picture Dan downstairs laughing

I almost forgot what just happened

Orange peels on my nightstand again

I picture Dan downstairs laughing

I almost forgot what just happened

Orange peels on my nightstand again

She said I came in like a wind chime

Strangely familiar and off time

Something eerie danced in the background

Of your life of your life

She said I came in like a wind chime

Strangely familiar and off time

Something eerie danced in the background

Of your life of your life

I picture Dan downstairs laughing

I almost forgot what just happened

Orange peels on my nightstand again

Sisters

Cars moved so fast back then on the highway

We jumped in puddles in our driveway

The grass grew so high it seemed swallow the house whole

Surprised to see nature take back control the way it did

When we were kids

Every phone call is healing

I synced up my breath to your breathing

We’ve emerged just as strong as the grass in the lawn

Didn't we?

Now I hear you fight the fatigue

You've learned to tell your friend what you need

It's easy till it’s not

Wires crossed in the parallels of thought

Oh it was easy till it’s not

Wires crossed in the parallels of thought
