Highlighter Tears

[D] do you realize, the sky wears glitter veins? [A] every campus night dissolves like pink champagne [Bm] instead of fading, we glow and combust [G] kissing in chaos, confusing it with trust [D] do you realize, the Gulf at night [A] looks like spilled bong water under moonlight [Bm] instead of crying, we laugh too loud [G] then fall apart in the lost-and-found crowd [D] do you realize, high lighter tears streak down my cheek [A] neon pink, campus drunk and weak [Bm] do you realize, not just the years [G] kissing forever through highlighter tears [D] my mascara runs like the clock tower bells, it tolls on my lungs and it echoes through spells, [A] every hit that i take is a sermon i preach, every secret i bury drags sand to the beach, [Bm] i’m the lecture hall dropout, the blunt-stained saint, the chaotic graffiti that paint cannot paint, [G] half glitter, half gospel, half chaos, half smoke, the confessions i scribble are more than a joke. [D] do you realize, sativa kissed my lungs, her lipstick of vapor still coating my tongues, [A] mari’s laugh in the night is a bell underwater, a goddess disguised as a misfit’s daughter, [Bm] i confess in italics, my chaos is couture, every margin i scribble just makes me unsure, [G] acts like a tease but i burn like a psalm, i shatter in verses but i sing to stay calm. [D] i ghost mid-sentence just to feel you chase me, leave lipstick on bottles just to make you trace me, [A] i tattoo confessions on my glitter-streaked face, i’m the saint of mistakes in a pink holy place, [Bm] every tear is a high lighter, scribbling years, every night is a dare through the smoke and the beers, [G] i’m forever the chaos, forever the test, the glitter-veined gospel carved into your chest. [D] do you realize, the semester’s a ghost? [A] every lecture forgotten, but the kisses the most [Bm] instead of learning, we just [G] pass notes like blunts and call it trust [D] do you realize, highlighter tears streak down my cheek [A] neon pink, campus drunk and weak [Bm] we are the chaos, not just the years [G] kissing forever through highlighter tears [D] do you realize, we’ll never be alone [A] as long as the blunt gets passed back home [Bm] the universe giggles, and MΣH house cheers [G] glowing forever in highlighter tears
