My ills are reticulate My woes are granular The ants weigh more than the elephants Nothing, nothing is manageable So, couldn't we skip the valedictories, I can see a door there: shut it and forget my number 'cause I'm hard, too hard to know I don't cry when I'm sad anymore Tears calcify in my tummy Fears coincide with the tow How can I ask anyone to love me when all I do is beg to be left alone?
There comes a redeemer and he slowly too fades away There follows a wagon behind him that's loaded with clay and the seeds that were silent all burst into bloom and decay The night comes so quiet and it's close on the heels of the day
Mr. Serotonin Man, lend me a gram You call yourself a friend? I got two left feet and I'm starting to cheat On my girlfriend again I caught her picking her nose As the crowd cheered for an overdose And I don't suppose you know where this train goes There was a party that she had to miss Because her friend kept cutting her wrists Hyperpoliticized sexual trysts "Oh, I think my boyfriend's a nihilist" I said, "Hey kids, we're all just the same What a shame"
I'm sick of staying up late cause you're not here and I'm not there; no, I'm not afraid to watch you change me anymore.
When I was a kid I saw a light Floating high above the trees one night Thought it was an alien Turned out to be just god
In this young night's sky there are pinhole lights. Find the shape of a harp and an arrowhead. Do I hear your tunes or acknowledge wounds that I got from rubbing elbows with a sharpened edge? But if I choose this too does it count as my move? I can't drop my history just to become new. Now swimming through the nothingness and the absolute but I couldn't ask this of you.
But will the morning come? For all I know we’ll never see the sun But together we’ll fight the long defeat
Even a bird would want a taste of dirt from abyssal dark The prick of a feather could make a kingdom burn and the bloodshed start The falling apart Made me a shadow in the shape of wonder The waves of black If she's going under I can hold my breath till the sky comes back Or drown like a rat He's a rat
Everybody hates me now so fuck it Blood's on my face and my hands, and I don't know why I'm not afraid to cry But that is none of your business Whose life is it, give it, see it, feel it, eat it? Spin it around so I can spit in its face I wanna leave without a trace 'Cause I don't want to die in this place
Passing white daisies Taking turns All those evenings on the back deck of our first apartment They meant everything But, the wind just carried them off And you can't go back now Just a passing moment gone Please, slow it down There's a secret magic past world That you only notice when you're looking back at it And, all I wanna do is turn around I'm going down to sleep on the bottom of the ocean ‘cause I couldn't let go And the water hit the setting sun
I imagine you at home, in your room, all alone You open your eyes into mine And everything is better.
going to florida watching the temperature rise my pretty baby is waiting at the end of the line oh, since she left me cried an ocean wide and if she doesn’t take me back i’ll go down in it & die
I have a friend I call When I've bored myself to tears And we talk until we think we might just kill ourselves But then we laugh until it disappears And last night I blacked out in my car And I woke up in my childhood bed Wishing I was someone else, feeling sorry for myself When I remembered someone's kid is dead
Everything is terminal. We're all a set of finite points. We all exist in finite time. We're all finite points. We're all finite. But everything is permanent, especially when you're rioting, especially when your dreams are armed. We're all trembling strings. We're all world lines. We're all worlds.
You cut your ties Felt better off Salutations to your son Awoke to find you heading out With your white collar undone
