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

eccentric

i wanna be eccentric
i wanna be your boo
i wanna be boo radley
do you wanna be eccentric too
we could buy a mansion
or would you rather live on a ranch
i dont give a fuck about the living space if you fucking hold my hand
i could be a drunk uncle
i could be a deadbeat friend
i could just drop everything
or i could just drop dead
you can have my vaguest ambition
you can have my conquered world
im a statue made of stomach acid
im a statue with all ten toes curled

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

indigoman
hold my hand
dead weight speaks
if you understand
no good kid
stay in bed
cat got your tongue
tied its tail around your head
indigoman
start a band
drown your sound in fuzz
and your head in sand
lazy fuck
stay in bed
watch the flowers die instead

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)

blood brother
04:40
|

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

flies in the wintertime
02:13
|
|||
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
