you are the chief and i am the indian we'll dance around the fire on the beach where you said "i don't trust myself" i dont trust anyone but you feel nice when yr close to me and the moon came out every night to see the ocean and the ocean always moved for the moon if yr gunna take a ride up 87 i'd like to see you soon if you are hemingway, i'm in the 10th grade i'm struggling to read you as i hope for the best you speak of wanderlust, i speak of free love if you took me seriously thatd be the best but the shaking in yr tiny voice says otherwise and yr fingernails turn into claws before my eyes with yr hands around my throat i feel so violently high and this is how i die

Wonderboy 02:46
i've been told many times to shut my mouth and speak when spoken to i'm sorry that i tried to be cool, and that wasn't cool i wish i was cool just like you do whoever you want i'm sorry that my pants aren't gunna be tight enough for you i'm sorry that i tried to be cool, and that wasn't cool i wish i was cool just like you
4.
Human Trash 04:15
nice to meet you, i am damaged goods and all my problems will become somebody else's problems soon enough now, i will smother myself in all my dirty laundry and wait for someone to come find me hi, how are you, i am human trash but i just want to love you, you are such a precious thing and you'll destroy me if i let you and then youll tell yr friends about how i should be on medication you'll be the writer and i'll be yr page, dear its funny how lost we can be when we're safe here
5.
you said you wanted intimacy, my little lady shoegaze with yr high profile, with yr bony body and yr cheshire smile come and dance with me, come and dance with me nobody dances anymore and that's a tragedy this is a monument, you are a metaphor i am a black and white movie, yr the orchestra come and dance with me come and dance with me nobody dances anymore and that's a tragedy i'm sick of being so alone but all i'm going to do is bitch and moan and the world's a movie musical and we are the ensemble and i'm singing + i'm snapping in the fragile hope that someone will follow come and dance with me, come and dance with me nobody ever wants to dance for me this is my failed attempt at making peace with you this song's the worst of it's kind but its the best i can do so come and dance with me, come and dance with me nobody dances anymore and that's a tragedy

don't tell me that you love me if you don't plan to follow through and don't call me crazy when i tell you that i love you too don't call me from the hospital a little south of Albany cause you took 30 klonopin and now you decide that you miss me it's a little late for that i'm way too busy being sad to focus on the things yr doing now and you look so graceful when yr falling down the stairs because you got too drunk at the warehouse and noone helped, they laughed and stared but you still had yr wits about you just enough to sing to me and get us to my bedroom all alone, alone, alone with me and i fell into you, you see you felt so gentle, honestly, i thought i won the New York Lottery and then i found out later about something that you did that night something in the bathroom with a very good friend of mine i didn't want to think about it, but now it's so clear to me oh how could anybody but a rapist fall in love with me?
7.
Bruises 01:51
how can bruises be so beautiful the pain of even a soft touch is so photogenic fingertips in a panic at the sight of yr flinch black and blue all around, yr forgetting what to do oh i have no clue how can bruises be so beautiful watercolor under my skin, i'm beginning once again anew we can share the stories of the past few days or how you tripped and fell when i met yr gaze yr eyes widen, oh i've decided that i must move on i'll sing the words back at the stage some boy in a band has read a page of my journal and gave it melody and rhyme how can bruises be so beautiful a mural on my body, it comes from within, ive decided i must move on
8.
i wanna be a cop, i wanna be a cop but im gunna ride a board so they dont know that im a cop theyll offer me a doobie i'll politefully decline then im gunna go and see if they can walk a straight line dude yr fucking cool, dude yr fucking cool ill learn all the lingo so they think i fucking rule then ill flash my lights theyll turn and run, run run run from the sound of my gun i wanna be a dad, i wanna be a dad be a part of the couch just like my dad i'll watch soap operas during the day and then complain that i wont get laid honey get the kids, honey get the kids ive gotta see if the mets win and when they dont ill sit and cry cry cry cry cause i lost my life
9.
Shemp 02:24
i left my whiskey on the floor, she dont love me anymore and ghosts are following me, crossing mountains and seas just to violate me i kicked a hole in my guitar, dont you know its super hard getting high all the time, swapping pizzas for dimes waiting for our parents to die
10.
i went to a psychic on route 109 torn up sign on the front door and an ice cream man outside and she said i am a woman of the cherokee blessed like all the women in my family youve got the devil in you, boy youve got yrself surrounded with 2 kinds of dark energy i can do the work of god for you honey so i went and took out money from the bank when i got out of my fast food job she said i couldnt cleanse my fucking spirit with a stained white polo shirt on and she said why would you worry about the money how much would you pay for peace of mind anyway? youve got the devil in you, boy youve got yrself surrounded with 2 kinds of dark energy i can do the work of god for you honey stroll up to the long drive, grass overgrown, a small space an environment of its own. trees growing exactly where they were and more the flowers living and dead regeneration over and over again a space unkept, where i slept, my dreams will continue to sleep all good things must come to an end the door ajar, i step inside dust in the halls, ghost in the walls feeling the way that i explore the memories with the colors less defined most divine, this time knowing all good things must come to an end following the floorboards, following the paneling with spray paint obscenities, images disgracing, defacing the memories they say that scars will heal in time i can still hear the laughter in the halls i can still feel the cold autumn air a life worth living i will defend yet all good things must come to an end.
