You got a 9-to-5, so I'll take the night shift
And I'll never see you again, if I can help it
In five years, I hope the songs feel like covers
Dedicated to new lovers

You will never be completely at home again, because part of your heart always will be elsewhere.

I wanted to be chosen, maybe loved. I wanted out of my life, out of my skin,

Let's switch places.
Let's switch places.
Lucas. Lucas.
Let's switch places.
You're more...
You're more...

The same love never comes twice.

no—
You knew this would end in a knife fight. An exchanging of teeth.

I place your name in my mouth & spit

Love is not a fraud but there are many rumors.

STRANGER.EXE @strangerexe.bsky.social · 7h

the air smells like rain & you've started to forget about me.

The millionth end was vanity
I thought I saw you smile at me
The billionth or the trillionth end
I gave up counting how many

Here is the part where everyone was happy all the time and we were all forgiven, even though we didn't deserve it.

I am forever chained to myself; that's what I am, and that's what I must try to live with.

WE FORGIVE BUT WE DON'T FORGET

STRANGER.EXE @strangerexe.bsky.social · 13h

Do you love yourself? I don't have to answer that.

STRANGER.EXE @strangerexe.bsky.social · 14h

There was the time I came to your side
It was 3 AM and you were begging me to die
Another year was all it took for you to forget the best friend that always carried you

TO SURVIVE, I HAD TO KILL HER INSIDE ME.

Can we love nature for what it really is: predatory?

You won’t walk away, won’t you?
You don't walk away, don’t you?
You won't walk away, won't you?
You don't walk away, don’t you?

STRANGER.EXE @strangerexe.bsky.social · 18h

Yes, I know that love is like ghosts
Oh, and what ain't living can never really die
You don't want me, baby, please don't lie
Oh, but if you're leaving, I gotta know why

STRANGER.EXE @strangerexe.bsky.social · 19h

You don't want anyone to ask you if you need help, to ask if you are okay, to feel sorry for you, no one, no one gets to have this, no one gets to make you into a body they think they know how to read.

STRANGER.EXE @strangerexe.bsky.social · 20h

You constantly try to kill time while time is out there slowly killing you.
Who do you think will win?

STRANGER.EXE @strangerexe.bsky.social · 21h

Well, I'm a horrible dancer; I ain't gonna lie
But I'll be damned if that means that I ain't gonna try
Yeah, I'm a shitty romancer, baby; ain't gonna lie
But I'll be damned if that means that I ain't gonna try

STRANGER.EXE @strangerexe.bsky.social · 22h

Come on baby, don't leave, I got more to say
You know, someday there'll be hell to pay
Baby, someday there'll be hell to pay

I can't have you in my life in any capacity. Please don't contact me anymore.

AS A SAINT YOU LOSE ALL AUTONOMY

YOUR BODY IS NOT YOURS TO BURY

STRANGER.EXE @strangerexe.bsky.social · 1d

What’s broken cannot be healed with anything but superglue and imagination, but let it be tended to. Let it be tender. Let’s imagine a miracle together at a distance, the reunion of a pronoun and its first verb.
