Jacob Lee
I Don't Have Any Straight Face
PATRICK: That’s all I could really ask for. That’s all I can really want

JACOB: Raindrops are falling on my head. This rain cloud is my paranormal activity, my dark cloud of bugs. I am plague

J&P: When I was a figment of your imagination, I haunted your dreams more than I cared. All alone, I’ll do my best to haunt you again

J&(P): These feet have walked the gravel too much. (I can feel you watching me every second of the day.) Legs tire, knees weak. (Your breath freezes me in my tracks.) These creatures are with me. (With me.) With me. (You confiscate my sanity) Leaving me to crawl on my knees. (Too enthusiastic.) Too anxious. (This hell burns darker when you whisper in my ear.) Your eyes seem brighter when I say nothing at all. When I was a figment of your imagination, (I haunted your dreams more than I cared.) All alone, I’ll (Do my best to haunt you again.) I want you to see me every time you close your eyes. (I gasp at the thought of your dark shroud.) I gasp at the thought of you. I’ve never been one to dwell (On you) But you’ve exhausted all options (And now I feel obligated to say that you) This is the last time (this will cross my mind) I swear to all listening (Never again) Will I waste my patience, (time), or effort (When this was so effortless)

(J)&P: Don’t say that you want me. (Want me. Want me.) All you do is haunt me, now. (Haunt me now.) When I say this, please understand
(the ship is sinking with no sight of land.) I’m watching as you slowly drown and (wish someone would grab your hand) I see your thoughts all leave your head. (Your mouth still moves but nothing’s said.) I scream out to my only friend: (I loved you ‘til the very end.)
Don’t say anything at all. I can always haunt myself
