Vice Versa

First day of the rest of my life
I say over and over as I try to convince myself
Yeah, the first day of the rest of my life
Product of twenty something years somehow just passing me by
A day becomes a month and here I am
Fabricating meaning, justifying circumstance
Sprawling aimlessly about the house
Retracing my mistakes
When all I want is just for this to feel worth it
All I want for you to feel is vice versa
All I want is just for this to make me feel something again
Something that I haven't felt in forever
I wanna be like them
Put the entirety of my being in a god's hands
Wanna wake up, wake up feeling taken care of
Not left down here alone to chase my tail in circles
I wanna write a song like that
Like this is for the ones that made it out
And this is for the ones still stuck here wrestling with doubt
And this is for the ones that live it day in and day out
When all we want is just for this to feel worth it
That crippling doubt replaced with a sense of purpose
All we want is just for this to make us feel something again
To feel your touch even if we find it hurts us

Fingers Crossed

Wake up homeless
In a house of brittle leaves
This trembling palace
In a land that feels abandoned
Where the wind speaks like it's shouting
I've been thinking 'bout how we don't know where we go when we go
I don't wanna be the last in tow
Stranded at the end of the line
I wanna trade in all my lessons and my memories
I wanna buy us both a trip home
Spend my days here slowly wasting
Not my old self, constant changeling
I've been doubting, sometimes straying
Fingers crossed, but I've been praying
I've been thinking 'bout how we don't know where we go when we go
All we want is just a chance to reap the fruit of all the seeds that we've sown
I wanna meet you in the garden of infinity
I wanna watch the light wash over me
I saw you in the yard today
But every time that I got too close
You flew away
Or opened up my mouth to speak
You were gone before I got that far
And I know it's not for keeps but it still stings
It's getting clearer in almost every single way
That you're here for me to see
Not for me to save, and that's okay

Solamente

I'm not a child of god
I'm not that bunting in the springtime
This is not the view, the view I want of the sky
O' to be left behind
To wilt, not flourish in the sunshine
This ain't where I wanna be, where I wanna be when I fly
Away from me
Forsake the out-of-order sign
A badge of shame on my infinity
I have wandered far too far
I am lost and out of reach
And I long to be back where I started
I wear the mark
I have a yellow card
There are gifts you can give that you can never take back
I wear the mark
I have a violet scar
There are places you can go from which you cannot return
Wait for me
After all my years of searching I am still here at the in-between
What was it even for
I have calloused and I'm sore
How I long to be back where I started
I have become only this
I can't find it in myself to forgive or forget
The one that made me, made me hate me
Makes me question every second of this
On the TV, out of sight but in the background
The weatherman is forecasting the end
He's forecasting the end
