Your features have changed
standing next to the flames
and when you melt down
there's only void to be found
Anxiety doesn't mean you exist
Fear the unknown in your private abyss
When I finally saw flowers
did you finally see me?
I could stare at you for hours
Watch my eyes fade as I bleed.
I'm terrified of losing you
but maybe it's for the best
You've got your teeth deep in my chest
and my heart can't take it
Oh
You'd be better off without me
and I'd be better off dead
Wait, why are your eyes wet?
This is what we both wanted
I love you and I'm miserable
I love you and I'm miserable
I love you and I'm miserable
The times have changed
the world's gone up in flames
and through melting mouths
we scream that we want out
Anxiety is all I have left
crawling out of my throat as I take my last breath
As I finally saw flowers
did you finally see me?
I could stare at you for hours
Watch my eyes fade as I bleed
I'm terrified of growing up
but I know it's for the best
I've got your static in my head
and I just can't take it
Oh
Thorns and roses grow around me
whispering their dark secrets
My wrists are red and wet
this is what we both wanted
I love you and I'm miserable
I love you and I'm miserable
I love you and I'm miserable

The Beach

I wanna be the type of guy
Who puts the bloodshot in your eye
Who puts his tendrils down your spine
Like a thing from the deep
Let's go to the beach
We'll go exploring in a cave
Find bodies lost among the waves
A place where we can misbehave
Explore our sense of ennui
Let's go to the beach
C'mon now
Let's go
Let's go
Let's go
Let's go to the beach
There's something shambling around
Its skin tone looks as if its drowned
In keeps on tryin' to drag us down
Into the green-gray sea
Let's go to the beach
C'mon, now
Let's go
Let's go
Let's go
Let's go to the beach.

A list of thing things that bring me joy:
-Your love
-The sun on my face
-The gentle sound of lapping waves
A list of things things that bring me pain:
-The gnawing thoughts that pry and stain
-Your love
-The knife
-The sun on my face
A life without light
walking Venusian sands
I'm so tired
The rain never ends
What a beautiful day to finally rest
The sun shows itself, laughing, at last
You can be with him
Like you want to be
And I can finally
get some sleep
Sunburned
and lonely
and loved
and forgotten
and crying
and smiling
When next the sun rises
I'll be asleep
but not dreaming
As for you
I hope you'll be
singing

The Weeping Dreams Seattle, Washington
Sad music for you in real time as tragedy strikes
The Weeping Dreams recommends:
How Sad, How Lovely
by Connie Converse
A lovely, sad, fun walk through the songwriter's mind. One of my favorite people introduced me to this album, and I hope you love it as much as she does.

You Are Evil (discografia)
by New Bedlam Asylum
This album got me through some rough times. I was living in what was basically an anarchist commune in the Santa Cruz mountains and living mostly off Soylent and good will. It feels like that, too.

This is another project I work on sometimes. I hope you like it.
