lyrics

when i was 17
i had wrists like shattered glass,
felt like a hurricane
a summer slipped away in shades of grey

empty eyes, empty hands, empty heart
the storm brewing in these bones is tearing me apart

i am a binary star
never together or apart
if only i could choose a side
if only i could polarize

i’ll never be honest
cause i still dont know what my truth is
so you’ll find me singing out of time:
i think i might’ve lost my mind!

ive felt the sharp sting of fear in the middle of the night
ive seen 4am more times than i care to count.
always absolutes, im fine or im dying, never in between

im always the kid thats freezing cold
the gaping cracks left in the middle of the road
the broken bone with no cast,
the love that doesnt last,
anther cause thats lost
fingers always crossed
a hurricane kid
no idea what i did
but no- open palms reaching up to the sun
but our hands get burned
im the kid who never won
always always always
im empty bottles under the bed
thunderbolt dreams stuck in your head
always the shallow indentation left
by a body no longer in bed beside you
im the three, or four, or five or six in the mornings

im empty stars in the sky like eyes
reflecting hollow streetlights looking over shallow lies
resonating so deeply into nothingness
i am everything.
i am nothing.
always.
