"Sneakers" lyrics
"Sneakers"
I'm sor-
I'm sorry that you've come to me
In dreams like it's the only way
That you can find to talk to me
When I saw you last
We were fraying at the edges
I never patch shit up
And now we're a mound
Thought I saw you wearing boots
But knew it wasn't really you
Because you wear
Sneakers in the winter
Your queerness was a shiver
Slush seeping in your soles
Now your feet are wet
And I can't wring you out
And, oh, I'm sorry that you had to see that
I'm sorry that you had to see me like that
Chest of frenzy when I saw you
Working my old summer job
It singed a nerve
I thought was lost
Here I was measuring my scars
Envisioning yours twice as long
Your skin is smooth and shining like
My street when it rains
Thought I saw your feet were bare
But knew you weren't really there
Because you wear sneakers
By the seaside
Your silence was a nuisance
And sticking to my socks
Now my floors are filthy
I can't rinse them off
And oh I'm sorry that you had to see that
I'm sorry that you had to see me like that

You felt close to me...

Diet Cig - "Apricots" I wanna kiss you in the middle of a party
I wanna cause a scene
I want everyone to know that you were with me
We'll dance to our own beat

Marika Hackman - "i'm not where you are" I'd rather be asleep than interact with me
I don't get what you see
'Cause lately I've been trying to find
The point in human contact
I get bored like that
I'm not where you are
I'm not where you...
Adult Mom - "Survival" I saw her later and I was just like
"Sorry for making you cry"
And she was like, "It's okay!"
I don't know if my mom loves me anymore
She says that I am changing, I am not what she bargained for
