about

processing feelings that i'm still processing. her arms weren't torture. i am still breathing.

lyrics

Your arms were torture.
They felt like skydiving
or having sex
for the first time
I felt the thrill and danger and euphoria
all at once, it ran through my whole body
like a fire.
It started in my finger tips and burned until my blood was boiling,
but nothing can boil forever.
After a while, all I had left was hot air
and in that hot air
she melted to your bones.
At first there was cold air,
February held stationary and solid particles.
that found me finding you in the snow at 10 pm in a marsh parking lot.
I was happy
I was happy
fucking happy
HAPPY
I haven’t gotten to shout.
I haven’t gotten to yell.
I haven’t gotten to punch holes is your wall.
I hope I left the word forever lingering in your ears.
I was water, you were oxygen.

In all honesty, what I felt with you was pure.
it was just that.
pure
for all the times you were broken
for all the times you were scared
for all the times you made me smile.
i would go through it all again

just to be pure.

You’re still pure to me
For all the putrid words that spilled from my lips
it was resentment
You’ve never been anything but pure to me

and now that purity is living on in an other being
I wouldn't mind your spirit spitting on mine
because it would be a baptism in holy water
I can still touch god because I can touch you.

but i don't know if you will let me.

I’ve always wanted to be loved unconditionally
but church was never appealing.
Maybe the answer was you.
because I have never fully let go,

Come back

I like the way you choke my neck
when your hands aren't even touching me.

make me pure.
take the life out of me.
