Kira (Skyler's Skeleton)

I’m driving home

Thinking about every line you ever wrote

Sometimes it gets to be too much

When won’t I need this crutch?

What if my shoe slips under the break

Or the fog on the glass puts my life at risk?

I’ll never find the words to say

Or have the chance to rip up this page

Run up the stairs turn on the light and amp

What I feel and what I say never overlap

I’m trying to live out the perfect backstory

So I can describe our love like Morrissey

One more dance tonight

One more line to write

One more dark cartoon

One more tablespoon

(Deep within my room

One more tablespoon

Tell me it’s alright

And I’ll turn off the lights.)

The more I think about calming down

The more I think about trying to sleep

Realize I cannot stop this train

My thoughts are more than what you dream

But you know I don’t have a clue

So I’ll just take all of this as true

And so I thank you for the help

Read a chapter, then put it back on the shelf

I think I think too much

I think you’re wearing blush

I think I stole that line

I know I stole that line

And you know I think that’s fine

Come to me in a dream

Tell me what you mean

I’m jealous you believe

Sometimes I wish that I’d met you 14 years before

Your parents at the store, and me at your front door

Though I can’t drive, I realize when my feelings are ignored

It’s always true

But I’d feel like shit for you

The lights pressed up against the wall

Bleed on the white that lines the hall

There you stand, your eyes ablaze

Reflect the fire that blocks my way

What’s a knife without a sheath?

A lighthouse built to be beneath

The sand that stands for me to form

Glass that hides you from the storm

Sometimes I wish that I’d met you 14 years before

Your parents at the store, and me at your front door

Though I can’t drive, I realize when my feelings are ignored

It’s always true
