Let's take a trip
Let's go out west
Where no one knows our names
Can smell a single breath
Let's tell 'em a lie
Like we were happy together
Let 'em watch 'em smile
While you hold the gun I'll stay indoors
You keep the company safe here on all fours
You're as dry as a creek she said
In the middle of my
Apology season's end
My heart it beats so light
You keep picking away at seams
In a hope it unravels in rhyme
While you hold the gun I'll stay indoors
You keep the company safe here on all fours
& you can't understand how it lands
Walking out the front door on my two hands
How it blisters & how it breaks into my bank
I have not decided to be repaid
Because sympathy it doesn't work in this chapter of the world
Please and thank you ripped to shreds
Fighting leaves me stoned & dead
& then I wait for my next mistake
& then I wait until it's safe

Every lightbulb in this home burning holes didn't start the fire
Breaking castles making messes yes we did it friendly fire
In my sleep I see your cigarette machine it's spitting back
Breaking promises on sentiments you felt 14 years back
You warm it up
You breathe it in
You're buying back the time you spent
In facing all the walls you painted alone
You changed the locks
You're wearing thin
The breaths you take recovering the shit you spoke about the ones you love
You're never gonna show your face again
When nineteen is over and twenty's on its way
You can't remember the last time you felt this type of shame
& twenty-one brings in this fleeting feeling of pain
You can't recall how you got here or in what type of way
But who cares

I came from a time when I could barely see
I hung from a wire you were in front of me
Cut like a knife atop the towering tree
It was the perfect time for rediscovery
I've been rebuilt
Do you remember the night when we were full of dreams
& all of the laughter it was coming clean
We couldn't tell a reality
Outside of the room we weren't supposed to leave
I've been rebuilt
The machine had heard about the flowers & bees
And after a surgery I felt like we
reconnected the wires so I could finally breathe
& all at once the puzzle came complete
In the innards of mine was like I lost a friend
The fear of the time again was medicine
We came up & down; a lack of other ways
& all of the prayers fell on the heat of the day
You can take all your thoughts & turn them into metal now
You can take all your wants & turn them into rubber now
Waiting for a lower bow
Fighting for a harder law
Praying that we're softer now
I've been rebuilt

Draw me a circle
Sharing your story
Of times when we've felt so alone & afraid
Eating your secrets to keep me alive
The one where you've tip-toed to your lovers surprse
& to your demise they had locked the door
All your words ignored
Like you're a sideshow
A fumbling nail file
I almost regret these stapes of iron
I'll share a deep one
Can't tell if you've all lied
Grip to a lightpost swing believe I can fly
& to your demise they had locked the gate
All your words escaped
Cut my wings to repair yours
The way in which we seemed to soar
Incapable our shy rapport
Exhausted built our climb more stories
Exit north the heat sets frozen
Star will fall onto our noses
Water falling crash above me
Crush the dreams of mine

Who's left in the world who remembers to smile
Who pulls up the shade, & it's all worthwhile?
I'm writing to say I need forgiveness so I can live with this sunny day
I can not live beside the sight of myself
They all at once decided I was the shelf
The easiest place the crown of iron would sit
We both at once come down
& we meet downtown
I make you show me around
& I don't want to feel this now

Running toward warm clothes
You're becoming best friends
Sharing everything
Sleep inside a brighter smiler
& it feels good to you
I came & I walked thru
I held your hand and knew
What you felt that I felt too
The truest deepest blue
Shedding off our old jokes
It makes you both uncomfortable
The way it ached in rhyme
Together once again I kissed your forehead
As you started to cry
We knew it was the last time
I came & I walked thru
I held your hand and knew
What you felt that I felt too
The truest deepest blue

Sweet tart lover thrills
Holding your feet summer dancing
Your heart was here bleeding rain
You offered your soul to be shared
Shirts fit & disposable straight razors
You keep your bags in the backseat
All the way to a canyons engagement
You always admired the flats
Houston he ran from his cancer
Every damn time he had lacked it
Speak up and maybe you'll fall in
By you standards that shouldn't have hurt
& I shouldn't have hurt you
Hanging sick heads over lifeboats
Heavy sad stories hit the sandbar
Speak up and maybe you'll fall in
Alive my words fell flat
Dead he wept full of disdain said
Ready head first blisters broken
Windows wrapping wringing your blankets
Living alone was your choice

Wait for me
Go in to my room
Call in sick
Play under the stairs
Milk it dry
Check behind the shed
Laugh again
At this night's expense
"Blasphemous" you said
You wished I had moved to my left
Please be careful with your wisdom teeth
I can't have you leave
With no life to live
With no skin to rip
With no grace to save
With no place to sleep
With no taste to crave
With no face to shape
With no length to waive
With no mouth to give more of myself to

Prathloons Chicago, Illinois
Prathloons is the Chicago-based songwriting project of Collin Dall. His songwriting layers poetic, melancholic lyrics atop glacial arrangements on guitar, drums, piano, & violin. The songs reminisce on the mess of getting old, the woes of life-long relationships, & accepting that the meaning of our time on earth is simpler than we think: to love and listen, and to hope for the same in return. ... more
