we have a secret
shared between glances
lookin at me
for a little too long
too scared to say what
we are both thinking
i look away
cause i know what you want
fill the silence
change the subject
it’s too quiet
need to deflect
fill the silence
change the subject
it’s too quiet
need to deflect
but my
words get stuck in my throat
when you
talk to me slow
i hope it doesn’t show
breathing, getting shallow
when you, talk to me, talk to me slow
gravitate to you
when we’re with our friends
less intimidating
than when we’re alone
i feel the tension
you give me attention
i listen to you
and i do what i’m told
fill the silence
change the subject
it’s too quiet
need to deflect
fill the silence
change the subject
it’s too quiet
need to deflect
but my
words get stuck in my throat
when you
talk to me slow
i hope it doesn’t show
breathing, getting shallow
when you, talk to me, talk to me, slow.
(instrumental)
but my
words get stuck in my throat
when you
talk to me slow
i hope it doesn’t show
breathing, getting shallow
when you, talk to me, talk to me, slow

faucet
stains on the tiles
the boxes
have been here for a while
porcelain, fitting for my denial
i’m safe when, i’m locked in
nauseous, i feel sick when i’m tired
it’s constant
like perpetual bile
statistics, correspond to the problem
a reflex, from pretense
spill my guts
before i drown
and swallow em
write it on my ribs
and on the walls of my lungs
calculate, the evidence
and i was, the right one
add it up, it's common sense
and i was, the right one
first time, that i recognized it
looked away, and i denied it
convinced myself, that it was me
but i was, the right one
light leaking
under the doorway
don’t wake
me up in the morning
bare feet on the concrete
it’s pouring
i’m safe when, it’s stormin
spill my guts
before i drown
and swallow em
write it on my ribs
and on the walls of my lungs
calculate, the evidence
and i was, the right one
add it up, it's common sense
and i was, the right one
first time, that i recognized it
looked away, and i denied it
convinced myself, that it was me
but i was, the right one

haven’t really got a chance to tell you how i feel
and my chest feels weird
i could only say it in so many sentences
so i write lyrics, for your ears
and my throat gets dry around you
have to swallow spit to talk again
and it’s dumb to think about you
pulling on the collar of my dress
i wish it was simple
baby i'm nervous
i just wanna whisper words so careless
i better be careful
do i deserve it?
you watch every move i make on purpose
i wish it was simple
baby i'm nervous
i just wanna whisper words so careless
and if i haven’t already made it very clear;
then i’ll show you
with my stare
every minute around you could last a thousand years
so let's lay here
and my throat gets dry around you
have to swallow spit to talk again
and it’s dumb to think about you
pulling on the collar of my dress
you wish it was simple
baby you’re nervous
you just wanna whisper words so careless
you better be careful
do you deserve it?
i watch every move you make on purpose
you wish it was simple
baby you’re nervous
you just wanna whisper words so careless

save your promises
for someone who believes you
it’s gunna take a while for me
to forget what you did, so
don’t break them, like you do
comforting, consoling you
don’t ask the questions,
you’ve already got the answers to
and they all fall in love with you
you say the things they want you to
repeating phrases that i thought
was something just between us two
it’s not, so bad
i’ve been fine
since you left
it’s not, so bad
i’ve been fine
since you left
throw up all your self respect
the bathroom floor
right where i slept
the tile’s cold
and unforgiving
all i do is keep on living
throw up all your self respect
the bathroom floor
right where i slept
the tile’s cold
and unforgiving
all i do is keep on living
don’t break them, like you do
comforting, consoling you
don’t ask the questions,
you’ve already got the answers to
and they all fall in love with you
you say the things they want you to
repeating phrases that i thought
was something just between us two
it’s not, so bad
i’ve been fine

someone to be there

lay, right where you left
i should have known
i could have guessed
stay, stuck in the past
think of your face
wish you the best
don’t you say a word
i think for what it’s worth
everything i learned
will stick around
i feel the tears
and choke em down
you told me you’ve been waiting, waiting
for someone who can take it, take it
someone who appreciates the care
who always needed someone to be there
you told me you’ve been waiting, waiting
for someone who can take it, take it
someone who appreciates the care
who always needed someone to be there
you know, i’ve been alone
why did you tell me, i have a home
i have a place, somewhere that’s safe
somewhere to go, if i need to stay
how could you tell me
with a straight face
that i could trust you
and what you say
don’t think you know what
that means to me
and if you leave me, i would just break
you told me you’ve been waiting, waiting
for someone who can take it, take it
someone who appreciates the care
who always needed someone to be there
you told me you’ve been waiting, waiting
for someone who can take it, take it
someone who appreciates the care
who always needed someone to be there

growing pains

i used to ask my parents
when i would be
able to see
over the sink
i didn’t notice i got taller until
the top of my head
reached the windowsill
growing pains, i know it’s gunna ache
but things just have to change
cause nothing will remain
that's why they call it
growing pains
i know it’s gunna ache
but things just have to change
cause nothing will remain
sitting by a riverside
with tears streaming down my eyes
i ask whatever’s out there
if it can hear my cries
hurting fingers going numb
first cigarette at way too young
thinking maybe when i’m older
i won’t wanna die
growing pains, i know it’s gunna ache
but things just have to change
cause nothing will remain
that's why they call it
growing pains
i know it’s gunna ache
but things just have to change
cause nothing will remain
it never stops
but i, have learned a lot
(instrumental)
growing pains, i know it’s gunna ache
but things just have to change
cause nothing will remain
that's why they call it
growing pains
i know it’s gunna ache
but things just have to change
cause nothing will remain
i just turned 22
i don’t know what to do
i didn’t plan on making it this far
nostalgia for the present
cause it already happened
i guess i’m learning
it will always be hard

a spark is a flame
that eats gasoline
i’d die for familiarity
i hate my real name
a spark is a sound
of devouring oxygen
but i’m still not okay
i crawl out on my knees
(show me the way,
show me the way)

Untourable Album
by Men I Trust
supported by 6 fans who also own “spark__space”
A truly stunning album that mentally transports you to foggy early morning streets, the pavement wet from recent rains. Dreary, but in a comforting way. Like sitting next to a window during a rainstorm, listening to the drops hit the glass while remaining warm. Never fails to make me feel safe.
