postcodes

We knew a place once
Post codes burned into my phone
Had to fashion an escape
Tell them I'm never coming home
Live in my heartbreak now
Smell sweet pain
Never knew I was around
For me to taste your name
Why buy a coat when I can write you in it?
So you're wrapped up warm 'cause you're such a cynic
I'll take your clothes home just to bleed on
Every day my hair gets longer
I'm stuck in visions where the car don't start
I won't be nineteen forever
Life on screen can't break my heart
All my life ahead of me
Where my own head can get the best of me
Soon to be a teenage girl
In my twenties
In my dreams the TV's on
Lights up the chair that took her name
It's a mystery to solve
When the fibres start to fray
My surroundings swallow me
It comes with age
A certain type of love
That can't be replaced
Every day my hair gets longer
I'm stuck in visions where the car don't start
I won't be nineteen forever
Life on screen can't break my heart
All my life ahead of me
Where my own head can get the best of me
How can I lose something so permanently inked?
Send me a sign, oh, please give me a hint
Needle into my skin turns absence into art
My fish swim dejected; invisible they dart
