Oberlin Road

In waves he captures her brain
A flood inside cloudy eyes
Deep breaths and nevertheless he holds her down and spins around
She's lost in time, in years, in laughter in lullabies
He's cold and he pines for a younger love that he can satisfy

Rose neon lights circling her mind
She takes a drag, he rubs her back
A thousand smiles and friends for miles
A pen in her hand she trembles instead

She speaks only rhymes, she drinks a bottle and never cries
The fire in her dims and she goes out alone just to feel again

He fled, it sinks to her bones that she's alone and now he roams
In breaths, she holds down those hopes and throws out laughs
Maybe she won't crack

It's hard not to be angry at them for not believing
So she will keep her own rhymes
Riddles to keep her happy and alive
