This is a song called falling asleep. If anyone asks, I wrote it for you. If anyone knows, they won’t say a word. But I know the truth about how we work, I know the ticking of our late night clocks.
This is for every shoulder stuck with sweat to someone’s cheek. This is for everyone who’s ever helped me sleep. There is nothing empty about this. It’s not like brutal honesty makes me less sincere.
I want to make you something beautiful, but I want to tie you up, not down. I want to tell you the truth and make you love it, but I like it more when the truth makes you laugh. I’m trying to commend myself for being innovative, instead of feeling cold. I’m trying not to feel shame just because I think I should. We just like to make people happy.
This is a song called laughing out loud, dedicated to every time everything bad was funny, and everything good was too.
