Midnight Crush by Lazarus Pearl published on 2022-01-19T02:29:09Z I wanna study him like a bug I got a jar with the air slits cut And Watch him while he sleeps Twitching like an animal fireflies, cold light, sky turns to violet, turns to night He is pale to the point of glowing Like an alien I’m always leaving, 3 am It’s just a midnight crush Don’t know what I’m supposed to learn Just know that I don’t know that much My favorite part of him was his skin because It’s fluid against mine Falls around my shoulders, like dim light I’m the stain on the ceiling and I’m reaching for a feeling I can never find, trapped between A piece of paper and a water glass I’m always leaving, 3 am It’s just a midnight crush Don’t know what I’m supposed to learn Just know that I don’t know that much Throw a sheet over my cage so I can sleep in peace Sometimes I get the creeps and I don’t have the words for what is happening Tailspin, rail thin, try my best to suck more oxygen and he doesn’t know that I’m Looking up from the bottom of a well I’m always leaving, 3 am It’s just a midnight crush Don’t know what I’m supposed to learn Just know that I don’t know that much You’re being nice to me and I feel weird You know I’m using you, right? In a year of isolation you were the nearest warm body I could find Soft like skin, tough like ligament How I’d get in this predicament You are every single person I have ever met Genre Indie Comment by Elemí Ooo, this is lovely. 2023-11-22T18:30:42Z Comment by Unbuilt Boy wow this is brilliant - fresh, original and really distinctive! really love your vocal style and delivery as well. this will definitely be getting a few re-listens :) 2022-02-28T12:08:59Z
