Shut Up Wake Up

V5.5

Could've sworn your laugh stuck to my spine Those late nights blurring in passing time I look up at locks that never change Non-players fighting clocks, and replaying blame Spilled out water stains burned the counter white You slide into sleep before you kill the light Dreams run a tab, will you pay the price? Will you split the cost, or just pour on ice? Shut up , wake up, we're back where we don't belong Found matches in your drawer, tired lines on every song So say it's fine, you always say you're fine You could walk away, leave it all behind (leave it behind) Told myself "enough," but that's just a lie Turned off the fan so I could hear you cry Plastic dishes stacked, fingerprints in rows You wore my old silk scarf with cigarette holes Cracked window talk, barely any air Losing in the games we learned not to care Sunrise sharp and cold, it cuts the blinds We argue things that don't survive the night Nobody wins and yeah I get it, that's fine But you choke my surrender till I quit the fight Pull the drawstring, close the world in tight Bars across the ceiling shade the dirty white I know your lover asked, did you tell her we're done? Or do you keep pretending for anyone? Found an old text, tiny desperate bombs Don't bother deleting what's already gone Shut up, wake up, this story's turned to glue Pages curling at the corners, melting color through Just say it’s fine, you always say it’s fine You could drop the weight and call it being kind (call it being kind) Anyway I split: bitter, old, or right Quiet buzz in your pocket all damn night Drag the mattress near the open door Let the day collapse on our kitchen floor We spin in circles ’til the record skips You leave when you leave, no warning, no kiss It's cold but who gives a shit after sunrise? Tomorrow we lie, tonight we get by
