Empties In The Pool

from lowball by Nicknames

lyrics

dive? parade my broken spine around
outside of her old house
the bright side of sunlight's apparent
but i'm over it
tonight, i'll weigh another day against an open window summary
of my life as of recently

i keep living like i'm buried in your pocket
but to look at you, a shade of blue suddenly distant
it's difficult to stomach

while your absence instills a passion
i'm still struggling with asking
to form the words i've heard
internally, or on tv

and in the back of my mind
it plays out to be so perfect
i've come to find
it isn't too consistent within the moment

so i'll collect another mess
lending my head to what is left
of progress
i am useless.
it's like saying nothing if you keep it open ended
i'm awake and feeling reckless
you're the one name on my guest list

dive?
is it the right time?
will i be blessed in the water, or swept up in the rip tide?
intuitively depressed,
in dreams of watching you undress
i find myself smiling at last
only to wake up in my solitary bed

another night, i'll be asleep
we haven't spoken in two weeks
just chalk it up to my anxiety
