lysol 03:34
told her i would be on her back porch if she calls i told her sweeter things than i ever told me maybe sometimes i like to talk to spirits but they dont tell me anything that i dont already know i twist my own words inside my own head while you sit upright on your bed freudian slip a know-it-all with common sense and adderall one restless night and an empty can of lysol i thought id pass out by the heater last night the snow was falling pretty heavy i never made it there but i kept warm wearing a scarf to sleep aint as bad as it seems maybe sometimes i like to talk to spirits but they dont tell me anything that i dont already know i twist my own words inside my own head while you sit upright on your bed freudian slip a know-it-all with common sense and adderall one restless night and an empty can of lysol maybe sometimes i like to talk to spirits but they dont tell me anything that i dont already know thought id sprawl out by the heater last night and wait out the rest of the snow

dustbowls in december and im counting my quarters the hamper is full again and my desk is invisible under so many papers but i just wanna look nice today grandpa's used books lay unread collecting the scent of beer under my bed to make newness of old things i wont admit defeat today blew smoke out the window sang a song with the birds of prey blew through two matchbooks without burning an effigy when did i become so content in my apathy saw you this morning when i was walking to breakfast but i didnt make sense of it enough to say anything too exhausted to saturate voids with immaturity and bullshit ice breakers too little time to be discussing the winter we both know we're bigger than pocket sized phrases just to put this in the past tense and buildings with side doors make for a shitty audience but its not as discomforting as the feeling i wont suffice to the billboards around me that preach staying positive beyond a three week vacation of believing im cut out for this connecting the dots of nights stacking accomplishments ive tried every combo and cant seem to make them fit and if anything thats what im taking from all of this if anything that's what im taking from all of this end of the hour there are spiders in the dryer the coffee machine is on and the damned wires are fraying and i cant stop the buzzing so i just lay there and hum along

i hope it snows before your birthday so we can take pretty polaroids we'll be spectres with rosy faces in the vague light late afternoon complacent but not dead at all but we'll be snowmen in broad daylight so candid so reflective i haven't seen such a striking painting no chelsea lobby could provide this is a song about the winter sorry it's not very bitter it could be about any other season why would i have to give a reason

in the wash 04:34
ive been chasing lighthouses for half a year ive been waiting stagnant here but all the lights turned at the same time and all our hearts burst at the same time its in the wash its in the wash now and if youre feeling violent throw me off of montauk point watch me treading water while you order your dinner ive been chasing landslides forgetting long car rides and even when i close my eyes i dont see paraside i only see red skies at night and ive been sifting through frozen landforms in my minds core mulling over you and everything thats happened its in the wash its in the wash now (every time i close my eyes i know ill have a real bad time)

re-read my letters return to sender half-assed calligraphy i forged his signature stay safe blood brother lost at sea found another i called your mother she said i talk too much file your papers fire your tasers remind your father when he's gone i won't bother to stay safe blood brother found at sea lost another white flags half masses in my early classes don't leave my room light on don't let the cold air in don't let the bees chew through the holes the made in our bed stop the pointless buzzing don't let the phone ring don't want to hear you sing you haven't done that in years stay safe blood brother lost at sea found another i called your mother i've blown my cover

spirits 04:31
empty 40 ounce lying dead on the floor carelessly placed reminders of what you came here for trashed basement flipped over ping pong table the stretch marks on my memory flash before me so unstable and i can only stay to offer bad advice cuz there are just some things i cant do twice like forget the number of weeks it took for your hair to reach the back of your head narcissistic pessimist you havent seen the worst or best of me yet diy backyard barista make me something sweeter than my promises to her im always stuffing myself in cardboard boxes painting my face with question marks and upside down crosses strapped to my cheek next to my acid tongue where you used to speak so softly but now youre angry and you claim youre done now youre angry well i guess we're done and i can only stay to offer bad advice cuz there are just some things i cant do twice like forget the number of weeks it took for your hair to reach the back of your head narcissistic pessimist you havent seen the worst or best of me yet diy backyard barista make me something sweeter than my promises to her maybe sometimes i like to talk to spirits but they dont tell me anything that i dont already know maybe sometimes i like to talk to spirits but they all end up scattered on my dashboard the windshield wiper's been bent for months i curse the snow maybe sometimes i like to talk to spirits but they dont tell me anything that i dont already know maybe sometimes i like to talk to spirits but they all end up scattered on my dashboard the windshield wiper's been bent for months i curse the snow maybe sometimes i like to talk to spirits but they dont tell me anything that i dont already know maybe sometimes i like to talk to spirits but they all end up scattered on my dashboard the windshield wiper's been bent for months i curse the god damn snow

we both get out at 2 run some errands for me and you food and drugs just to own the night fluorescent lightbulbs in morning light we'll make paper mache nametag helmets and place them on our heads cuz no one can define us but us but people pry and people try and end up sticking themselves in the eye looking for subtle reminders and social cues of bands and lovers past we'll wipe their brains and everything will start over and their mouths will drop like flies in the wintertime dancing on their parkways filled with ice darling don't we look good doing that laughing when they catch us talking smack
