Did some time in a boiler room. "Bossa Nova Inspired"

Boiler Room

Wrote this song when I was 18 years old.
-------

hey there girl
if you skin me alive
i'll help you peel my flesh off and take a look inside
hey there girl
if you were to disappear
i don't even know where I would go or what I do from here

hey there girl...
don't you fuck with me
i'll shackle you to the back of my thoughts
and never let you see the light of day again

I wish you'd pilot an airplane and crash it into the side of my house so I'd burn alive
while staring you in the eyes

if you met another guy
i don't even know what I would do
I'd send him a letter bomb, so he would fucking die

Letter Bomb

Final paragraph of A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers. There are many passages from that book that really spoke to me, and this was one of them.

**I did not write any of this and this is entirely Dave Eggers'/his publisher's thing.**

“What the fuck does it take to show you motherfuckers, what does it fucking take what do you want how much do you want because I am willing and I'll stand before you and I'll raise my arms and give you my chest and throat and wait, and I've been so old for so long, for you, for you, I want it fast and right through me-- Oh do it, do it motherfuckers, do it do it you fuckers finally, finally, finally.” 

Do It, You Motherfuckers

You're a hollow silhouette
You taste like honey,
and I'm malnourished

You're an empty hornet's nest
I want to put my this in your that
but it's way to safe for me

I want to take off my clothes and
drift right into the sky
I want to choke you to death and
I don't know why

You're the same old cigarette
Unrewarding, unrewarding, and I'm malnourished

Hollow Silhouette

I'm gonna
get the fuck
outta here

I'm gonna
get the fuck
outta here

I'm gonna
get the fuck 
out of here

Everywhere you go
is a different problem
Everyone you meet
has something to say
Everything you do
is another tragedy

Always trying to keep you sane
Always trying to keep you sane

Everyone you meet
is a different problem
Everywhere you go
has something to say
Everything you do
is another comedy

Trying to keep you all insane
Trying to keep you all insane

Home

It's not behind a closed door
It's not even there

We're sliding into it together
We're sliding into thin air

And I wish I could make my way back up
But it's not even there

And I want to feel it on my skin
But it dissolved into thin air

Thin Air

going nowhere
i want to go somewhere with you
i'm going to quit my job
and move into your room

i'm not a coward
i just really like eating your food

going nowhere
i want to go somewhere with  you
i'm going to buy a car and
drive you to the moon

i'm not a monster
i just really like eating your food

going somewhere
i want to go nowhere, too
i'm going to blow a hole...
through the top of my right shoe
