Baby
I, (I), said
Baby
It was all a dream

had a mind of mine
I, (I), I
was gonna take some time
(It was just lying to him)
It was just a state of mind
Look at the fun

Best

Believe
In
(The lines in your nightmare)

It was fun

Falling
(Fucking)
Falling
It was all a dream

(I), I, (I), 

had a mind of mine
was gonna take some time
(It was just lying to them)
It was just a state of mind
You, look at the fun 

Best 

Believe
(The whole time)

Had a mind of mine 

were we making the whole wasted wish 
The whole time clings 
In Service of our need

We, were making the whole thing 
Run faster than they could breed 
(Not easy-to-use)

It's (its), its 
all in your head, (But)
She thought I was dead

Yeah
It was all in your head
You thought I was dead
They're all walkin in the damn tiered 

(Had a mind of mine)

were we making the whole wasted wish 
The way it just clings
In Service of our need
We, 
were making the whole thing 
Run faster than they could breed 
(Not), not, (easy-to-use)

It's all in your head (but)
They all thought I was dead

Yeah
It, (it was), it was all in your head
You thought I was dead

(Had a mind of mine).....
Of mine 



state of mind


Dear people
I hope you're doing great
I'd like to apologize on behalf of the human race

You see
You have drawn the short straw
here in this apartment 
I promise to cancel all my plans
But let's brainstorm here in this closet
Why can't I just walk away from it?

Let's all move into my shed
I don't know who cares?
Not me
I guess
I forget what I said
O, gotta find us a bed
I'm really fucking sick of people
(sick of people)

I hate small talk where I overthink too hard
tired of talking about the weather
You blew it your way
And they said my favourite phrase
"It's not what you think
Cause
That's according to me"

Why can't I just walk away from it?
Why can't they just walk away?
If there's a home
I'll find it
I'm so sick of people
 (sick of people)

Let's all move into my shed
I don't know who cares
Not me I guess
I forget what I said
O, I gotta find us
a bed
I'm really sick of people
 (sick of people)

Close your eyes and tell me where it is
They ran away with stolen differences
Close your eyes and tell me where
I'm really fucking sick of people 

if u know, u know


Just listen 
Please stop 
I don't want your, 
Two 
Cents
anymore 
Have no idea how you make rent
Yep, most the time, you are pretty 
damn dense
My friend

Please stop 
Just listen 
O, 
tired of your head always coming up missin
We have heard it all before
Knockin' on my door
(Please stop)
O,
Least it's not slammed 
anymore

Why must you learn everything the hard way?
Told them not to touch it and you did anyway
Know you are, 
not an idiot 
O, yeah 
And you know what they say?
"The smart man learns from his mistakes
But the wise man learns from (the mistakes of others)"

Gonna make my own mess now 
O, (O)
I'll start the argument (every time)
Don't know how you deal with the stress
My friend

Think I'm on to somethin' again 
Heard the truth from a drunk bum
Rippin' off the bandaid 
Jumpin' , whatever, say when 
Think I'm about done

I don't want your,
 Two 
Cents
O,
Have no idea just how (I make rent)
I can be really Fuckin dense 
My friend

Why must I learn everything the hard way?
Told us not to touch it (did anyway)
I must be a special kinda idiot
O, yeah 
You know what they say?
"The smart man learns from his mistakes
But the wise man learns from, (the mistakes of others)"
Yep, we are pretty dense 
Yes, we can be real fucking 
dense
My friend.....


the hard way

Hey baby, I hear the blues calling
somethin about tossed salads and scrambled eggs 
But we are of the belief (it was never the blues calling at all)
O,
no, it was all about a woman named Maris.

Never seen Maris no no no no never
Where the fuck is Maris? Who?
 DEAR GOD. "I said Maris"
Never did we ever see Maris 
No no no no never

We have a description if she ever was to be spied
Thin and extremely fragile 
Rarely went outside 
Pail white almost translucent 
To the Crain's complete amusement 

Never seen Maris no no no no never
Where the fuck is Maris? Who?
DEAR GOD, "I said, Maris."
Never did we ever see Maris 
No no no no never

Maris, who was never seen 
Was at the top of high society
to them, she was their Queen
However, (however)
would would blow away in a strong breeze 
always seem to be soso keen

Never seen Maris no no no no never
Where the fuck is Maris? Who?
DEAR GOD "I said Maris"
Never did we ever see Maris 
No no no 
(no never)....
Nope 




if u know, u really do

drinking alcohol,  taking sleepin pills
living in layers (and layers) of self-pity 
O,
ahh okay 

the smell of urine in the summertime 
behind the Shell station 
(takes me back)

felt like it was our one and only shot
(Killer fuckin beasts)
already paid for and bought 
Go on...
pull your chair up now 
to the feast
In the end 

least we all got fed 
 bought and paid for

They tried to stop, but went along,  
Anyway

to many 
Spectrums of all these 
Sensations

Painted in colors that felt so wrong,  
Their silent rebellion in patience
went as far as Female Castration
(Castration)

Standin’ up, 
lets all 
give an 
ovation

With no regrets and fewer chains.  
These 
Days 
(The future's calling), loud 
with all the trouble stay in, inside its lanes
Embrace the unknown, banish fear
Shine (baby) shine 
like the tramp stamp of your dreams 

got paid and away with it 
the algorithm is now
(In its place)
and the memories now mean nothing 
Nothin at all 
(At all)..... 





layers and layers



The sun comes up
finding her dust bunnies dancin', in the hazy light
under the flower pots leaning up against the wall
An empty bottle of vodka just laughing at me
Can't find Alex
Johnny is face down on the couch
Have not seen Sacha in weeks

First thought is not about the time
It’s about the color of the sky
(whether it matches the blue) I was tryin' to shake off 
last night

This is the weather we agreed upon
Right?
Moments, not minutes.
Beauty, not judged on a line 
All forgotten now
A life measured in good times 

From the apartment below
hear them up above (over and over)
Beats the engine hard, (easy boy don't break it)
A soundtrack for making love, strong and dark
over and over and over 
long ago I started 
Drinkin' away that kinda energy 
O,

So 
I, (I)
O,
Sit with the quiet
City outside, sings a song of sirens and urgency
People, pushing and pullin'
Is this real?
rushing toward something, go ahead 
come on in
(You are most welcome)
We are already here
Listenin' to the silence between the notes
this life not measured in your potential

(My first thought is not about the time)
yeah,
My father left when I was young
Said he " could not handle the pressure"
Doesn’t ask about me anymore
if I’m saving, if I’m secure
Wanted to tell him, (I am secure)
In the knowledge of perfect pressure 
outside his lines
In the feelin' of time finally resolvin' all of it
Wanted to tell him, I have saved every sunset 
o,
(I have ever seen)
Instead of being real, not just being fine
Difficult to explain a full stomach that has nothing to do with food

Tonight you will come home
Late,  my first thought is not about the time
With a story about a stranger on the bus 
(You will)
And your voice will be the only thing in the room
We will not talk between us (about the bills or the lack of skill)
Living out a sad 
example of potential
all making a funny belief

This poem is real
The way you look in the candlelight is real
That never hesitated 
(This is real)

to Alex,  come home, please
to Johnny,  just sleep it off
to Sacha, keep on doing you 
To the couple downstairs 
Rock on.
And hold on to it. long as you can't 
Don't drink it away.
To Dad
wish you could have seen these sunsets
Clear and true.
The light is gone now.
Time to make the fuckin' donuts.


over and over

 
Without You 
Without 
You 
got emotions flooding me on repeat 
this will simply not do 
without you everything sucks 
I feel bad, can't think , sleep or deal with this heat 
need you here with me
I need you here 
with 
me 

since you left this summers a bummer 
now I'm sad and bored 
(need you here with me)
you know how to find me
I'm on the second floor 
know it's only been two days, 
But there is only one place, that I feel safe 
(that's when I'm in your arms)

without you, 
without 
you
All twisted up in this anxiety 
making me sick
My eyes get red and sore 
my pillow, is wet,  I'm a fuckin' mess

(just to hear myself rhyme)
things are never better 
(for a small time)
when we are together 
still feel all the grime 
(nasty)

get this awful depression 
(I'm not losing it), not this time 
promise 
baby please 
we could just lay in this closet for weeks 

The sun is shining but not for me

The darkness is hot, damp and 
summerly 

need you here
with 
me
baby please, baby please

 Without 
You
Without You 
O, hell no
my passion is gone this site smells, just weird,
 always so damn dark
don't care if I'm trending or the world is ending
 I just can't 
baby please

things just will not do
O, fuck 
without you, everything sucks
Ah, fuck no
 (I get this awful depression)
I'm not losing it , (not this time baby)

The sun is shining but not for me

this darkness is so hot, 
damp and summerly 
need you here with me 
baby please, baby please 

WITHOUT YOU 
 
im gonna lose it,  (not this time I swear)

The sun is shining but not for me
 baby please baby please






I just can't



Watching the rain hit the floor, the cat chased away in fear 
 glass under the door 
warned you to stay clear
don't act so surprised 

Your pace is fast now believing in the lips that 
Without even asking, he took last night 
(don't act so surprised)
Don't let those shoes fail you now

Please, when you leave, 
Don't slam, the goddamn door it might really benefit you to try to keep
 From
 Losing 
It

Put the whisper in your pocket
 Go on, get on down the road
 Don't wait for fucking daylight (Hope your shoes don't fail you now)
 Add up what it is to you
 Then subtract the time from Midnight

Forever destined to swim in this stew
(go ahead)

(looks like) it's a good time to leave be sure next time  not to believe In any of these crimes

Take care of it, now please just let me dream 
Walking up, then headin home
 No worries,
 thank you we don't need anything, 
nothing more to talk about 
We all know now why you live In a drought 
And this lean, (lean)

Getting real tired, of living life according to you and Your  trauma filled nightmares 

already useda fine tooth comb
No problem, 
I will not slam the goddamn door 
hope to never see you later 
(never see you later)......

hope, please


please come 
and
Meet me in this bohemian dream
Please make your way 
Down the steps, to the left
Where the saints go marching, 
and are sometimes even 
seen
O, 
don't wake me up 
Take time 
watchin' the bandits dance all night just
for a chance to be free
take care, remember 
the fruits of my labour are mostly forbidden 
O, 
so
Please be a lover of sin
Your 
thoughts of all these, things 
(will be gone in the morning)

all over again

(over again)

In a world where wealth is just a dream
Complain I dare you 
laughin' out loud, singin' off key
Never again will it affect 
this 
boys
 self-esteem 

So
I'll meet you
livin 
On the edge of the world
With most the ghosts,  watching it all 
Come
Unfurled

It will all be gone
(In the morning)
And bring you a new dawn 
(don't wake me up)
with all the missin' bathtub gin
Your thoughts of most things will be gone

all over again

(over again)

so, please, make your way
down the steps to the left 
yeah, 
the saints are even sometimes seen
take care to remember 
the fruits of our labour, are mostly forbidden 
So please be a lover of sin

dancing across this splinter, filled floor 
(with no shoes on)
ahhh hell yeah 
(now, feels like you and I)
might've actually won this 
thing of ours 

Rise, with dusk in my eyes
hell yeah 
this bohemian dream 
Livin'
On the edge of the world
(the edge of the world)
Livin'
With most all the ghosts, watching it all 
Come Unfurled 

all over again......


all over again
