Taurus Mercury

I just like to look at beautiful things
The April showers are of snowflakes now
They’re piling a layer of dust on a blooming tree
So pretty
Now you don't get to see that every day
Somehow she pegs me for the way my taurus mercury
Is totally absorbed in this vision
But I can only live in the moment
If that moment is only
Either perfect or lonely
Can’t wrap my head around
Why is my soul claustrophobic
Why are my romances hopeless
Why can’t I live in the moment
With anyone else
I don't wanna throw no wrench in your gears
I know you’re processing a lot right now it’s hard to hear
There’s not much I can do to help you
But don't forget to spend some time with your friends
The ones who love you unconditionally even when you’re stuck in bed
I know how it goes
One day I will understand how to let you let me let you in
One day I will understand how to let you let me let you in
Cuz i wanna live in the moment
Every moment is holy
Wanna reach out and hold it
In my hands
Even when things get messy
Every breath is a blessing
Every tiny connection
To anyone else

Magnetism

(And the good news is this:)
It’s fascinating isn’t it,
How opposites attract?
But I’m not yet convinced that magnetism is in fact about that
I think it’s more about how currents ebb and flow
I think it’s about how some things align and some things they just don’t
How you are everything I want
You are everything I want to be
Because I can't turn off that part
No I can’t turn off that part of me
That wants to be everything I’m not
We’re not as rational as we’d like to think
No, for all that complex thought
I still cant stem the tide, control the heart and make the feeling stop
I know that it’s not love that’s burning in my chest
But that knowledge doesn’t save me, doesn’t burn me any less

Angelo, I know how hard it can be to
Untangle yourself from the ways that people see you
Honesty is as much discipline as virtue
So take some time
And boil off the thoughts that you don’t wanna be defined by
Cuz it takes time to learn a new language
Do you only love her out of obligation
Or is there something about her
That pulls at your soul?
It’s okay not to know now
Sometimes you have to fuck it all up just to find out
A painful truth is far greater than a pretty lie
But it is you and only you who has the power to decide
So I will tell you what I told her
If you wanna see this thing come round full circle
You’re gonna have to really travel that circumference
And keep the faith that you will meet her in the middle
O o o o o o o

Don’t mind if I stare blankly ahead
The glow of the fire paints your lips blood red
If I kiss you in front of your friend
Would that be too weird?
I’m afraid if I tread too lightly
I might bore you to death
I’ve been trying all night to steal some of your breath
If I come on too strong I could sever this thread
I hate that I want you to climb in my bed so badly
Should I quit or commence?
Should I keep crafting tactics inside of my head to sway you
To my side of this fence
Or will my lack of courage kill your interest instead?

Cry Laughing, Die Crying
03:43

Vibed out at the absolute maximum right now
Cry laughing, die crying
I’m trying to figure out the best way to undress my armor
Cuz I’m tired of sewing the same old shapes in the fabric
I’ve had it with shaming myself for being the way that I am
It’s between me and god now so sue me
But I don’t think it’s wrong to fall a little bit in love with all your friends
I don’t think it’s wrong to fall a little bit in love with all your friends
This might take some patience to process
It’s a precedent, a second hit, a skill that can be practiced
It’s a muscle slightly strengthened every flex
Some things take a lifetime to unlearn
But you’ll still get a little zap to the nerves on the back of your neck
When you hear certain words
But listen to that tension
It’s begging the question
So ease up
Breathe in
Breathe out
And forgive it
