It’s October 23. Better mock up your inventory of every track on repeat. If you don’t, it was meaningless—keys that settled your mind, harmonizing that helped you not die. If it’s not the list, why’d you bother with listening? Year end lists, teenage-y & tragic. Plant your flag, fight for its battalion.  Print it out, play it to the rafters. Year end lists are permanent forever.

When he solos, it’s meh. They got the gated snare every band used since 2018. I wouldn’t playlist it publicly. Fell for their labelmates’ tape but wrote the side person’s press release...it’d be conflict of interest. They are boycotted from my top ten song list—it really, really matters. Fly your flag, fight as its defender. Rip it up but it’s staying on the record. Year end lists are permanent forever. They’re permanent.

It was the battle of ages making it through the whole year unscathed.  I’m scathed, but I wrote songs for the album you asked me for. Thanks if you listen at all when it gets pressed in like 33 months. Teenage-y & tragic isn’t bad. Have fun where you can have it. Who’s the best? Who’s so bad you’re laughing? Year end lists really, really matter. (Year end lists are permanent.)

Wrapped

People I once loved have taken off their masks. So I begin this season with a boycott of Scream 7, breaking up with friends who used to act with care, and—as of this Christmas—I won’t ever vote for Fetterman again. Journalists, doctors, children and poets. How could you think one single death is worth it?

Hark how bells ring just like an alarm. Love of war is life without a heart. Call for it to end or I can never hear your call again. Hark how bells ring, hark how bells ring.

Scribble it or scream though nothing turns the sands back. Despair’s not ethical. Does it push you to make the call? Artists and teachers, kids and their families. How could you think their lives are less deserving? 

It’s the first day of the light lasting longer and a new day to put that light to work, to flood our streets and neighborhoods till everybody’s sure.

we hit this planet a long time ago. i’m sooo underground but i come up for snow. i just called to say i’m off of work today, and i really wanna see you. come over! wrapped up in tinsel in case of the worst. got change in my bill fold and cash in my jean shorts. what the fuck? you liked it once. i really wanna see you, come over. hooray, vacate the premises. spent 12 months on the job, staying inside’s a gift. vacation with me. i really wanna see you, come over. we hit this planet a long time ago. i’m up to my earlobes in blankets and bad shows.
