lesson (voice memo)

exchanging things outside cuz your body is red and mine’s a lie 
dreams tell me things i know before i knew
is there anyone you’ll hold on to?

thought it was me who couldn’t keep it together
but send me a postcard whenever you get there
i was tender with you and you kept me a secret like you watched her do 
so i’ll send these bodies you’re collecting
in a casket i made just for you

i want to destroy everything but i’ll keep it to myself
how do you live with yourself? 
i'll smash things in the river
you’ll be watching
like you always do

the symbolism of a brake light and my foot slipping off doesn’t pass me by
kissing at the red light, it’s so cliche, but we laughed about it anyway
i stayed up all night to look at you and you kept me around because you’re used to it 
i hate you sometimes but i know i’ll have to get over it 

i want to destroy everything but i’ll keep it to myself
how do you live with yourself? 
i'll smash things in the river
you’ll be watching
like you always do
though you tell me you do 
and i feel bettw

always watching

i’ll be unavailable for a while now
too old to be acting up like this 
what’s the matter with me?
grotesquely lacking empathy 
apparently

people counting days celebrating 
all the ways that they’ve improved themselves
recently
but im a millionaire 
listening to the advice 
of a woman twice my age 
rich with love rich with life

what’s the point
in anything
if all it does is amount to all this pain
is it letting them win
if i sit and watch the tv
eating microwaved leftovers
staring blankly
