loose lips sink ships.

the ship is sinking, i know,
and the life boats are full.

you're watching from the shore, babe,
you're not dead. you're not dying.

just keep your head above the water,
just remember that you can breathe.

there's more than this, but the good times seem
cheap when you're watching everything sink.

like a dirty whore lifting her skirt,
teasing you in the absence of passion.

don't fall in love with the sound of ships sinking, babe.
cause you're missing the horizon.

Paper Cut Hearts

I'm scribbling out the hearts in my note books.
I'm scratching out your name.

You're more important than some trivial high school show of affection.
You are more permanent than this.

Saying "I love you"
is like admitting your childhood crush;

and I'm scared you're just going to 

hit me, and run away.

a world that existed only with each other.

we created a world together.
starting with lingering eyes
and a curiosity that caused tongue to touch lips.

we created a world together.
with challenging words
and an intrigue that caused energies to embrace.

we created a world together.
where I stayed awake, if you stayed awake
but now I'm keeping secrets and kissing ghosts.
