twenty second - alls (official lyric/music video)

“she, as pathetically perfectly hollowed, only (ever loves…)” out summer-ish 2023

lyrics:

do i like you? i don’t know
was it the tune of faux-romantic songs and awkward conversations that rung the ears so well?

was it paper flowers colored half-assed in an hour or was it true?
your rib cage flowed through your black shirts, and me up; pale and smitten
taunting like the spin of a record

and the fear of something i want chokes me
like an inside joke was lost when we all left that room
trying not to be pretentious while faking romance in my head
is it even there? i asked do you really care?
wake up november first with polish on the sheets and you on my mind

do you i like you? how do i know?
midnight air and breezes consistently faked interest
but it felt so real

and i’m swift in denial
in an exception of coquettish symphonics
the sharp dulcet tones of any voice will tear me down
i was jealous of that camcorder in your hands
i was flushed; it painted a portrait through my limp corpse

from twenty second to the thirty first
in twenty second year of 2000
drift through again to the twenty second

we could dash across streets
and i’ll linger on every
20 interval of golden hour i get to share with you
i’d spend hours in the cold; have to ball my fingers into fists to try to trap my warmth but i won’t care
i’ll brush upon every open ended question that occupies my brain
just to keep the conversations dense
anything to text you daily
