mixed fruit.

in that one brief moment of calm silence
before everything was destroyed in the storm
i looked in your eyes, and saw beauty
but when it all came down to existance
and you came out to your new-made form
i looked in your soul and saw nothing

we were just two-lovers
we knew nothing about
the dangers of our guessings
how they'd carry out
so when you got all steamed up
i heard you shout
and i tipped you over
and poured you out

when you were cold to the touch as i held you
and i could see all the lies on your face
i looked at myself, and i wept
when i mourned of the death of our passing
i pushed away who tried taking your place
and i burned all the memories i kept

we were just two-lovers
we knew nothing about
the dangers of our guessings
how they'd carry out
so when you got all steamed up
i heard you shout
and i tipped you over
and poured you out

we'll put all our love in a basket
our hearts like mixed fruit in the blender
an all new drink made from concentrate
and meat too stale to be tender
what happened to the fresh aspect?
life with no flavors or dyes
you can put all of our love in a cooler
and it still melts in front of your eyes

we were just two-lovers
we knew nothing about
the dangers of our guessings
how they'd carry out
so when you got all steamed up
i heard you shout
and i tipped you over
and poured you out

unfulfilled.

to look in your eyes is to see your soul
when i look into yours, i see stars
they come shining through,
out through your smile
and theyre smiling at me
i am sure

yet, i cant help but feel a bit unfulfilled
whenever your looking my way
because you dont see me that same way
no, you dont see me that same way
do you even see me at all?

we fit together
our hands, our lips, and our hearts
but,
thats just me again
my wishful thinking,
throwing me into the wishing well
im drowing in pennies
cant you see?

im building myself up for failure
i know that youll never fully see my that way
not again
not like before
i messed it up and youve moved on
so youll only ever meet me half-way

and were sober
to it all
were sober to our falls
we are blind
your blind to how it could be
and im blind to how it is

and so...
