more like a dream

I don't feel
particularly
saccharine
more like a dream
the kind you keep yourself awake to keep from falling back into
call in late
dissociate
just like the space before you fall asleep and forget who you are

ticklish
02:05
|

pretend you're ticklish and laugh
try not to make a fool of yourself
close your eyes and ten years passed
somewhere along the way you lost yourself
and now it's in a box on a shelf
in a closet that's dark
and I'd rather not turn on the lights
it's not that I'm scared
I'm just terrified

You don’t call me ever on the phone
Am I supposed to listen to Thin Lizzy
& get high on my own?
I went by the restaurant
Becky said
You don’t work there anymore
She said one guy too many made a pass at you
& you walked out the door
You dropped your apron in the parking lot
& never came back for your last paycheck
I don’t see you ever at the bar
I’m always on the lookout
For your busted ass Windstar
Your name’s off your buzzer
There’s no welcome mat
Sitting outside your door
Your neighbor said the landlord raised the rent ‘til you
Wouldn’t pay it anymore
You cleared the whole place out in a single night
& you were up & gone before it was light
You used to get so mad
I couldn’t take you serious
I’d make one stupid joke
& you’d act furious
You even warned me once
That you’d get out somehow
I guess you’re somewhere laughing now
Wild one wild one where’d you go?
Wild one wild one where’d you go?
Trisha please come home

you've got a bit of honey
I've got a bit of fly paper too
together there is nothing we can't do
except for most things
you've got a bit of honey
I've got a bit of scotch tape too
together there is nothing we can't do
except for most things
you write your heart out on an open page
I have one tattooed anatomically incorrectly on my sleeve
together there's nothing we can't overcome
except for most things
you don't know karate
I don't know jujitsu
together there are some things we can't do
and that's okay
you know how to love real good
I'm okay at not being a jerk sometimes
together there are some things we can do
and they're good things
you've got a bit of honey
I've got a bit of fly paper too
together there are some things we can't do
and that's okay

I miss wednesday and pickled eggs
I miss thursday night wrestling
I miss stairwells at 7am
I miss the stoops when nothing's happening
I miss playing dice for cigarette butts
til the sun comes up til the sun comes up
I am overrated and that's okay
I just want to know next year you'll still remember my name
I miss consuite and spam-based art
I miss stealing food from room service carts
I miss drum circles that never end
but most of all I miss my friends
I miss crux shadows and bagged wine
every sunday night every sunday night
I am overrated and that's okay
I just want to know next year you'll still remember my name
I miss the guy with the hot dog cart
I miss reconnecting as we grow apart
I miss malort, egg nog, and picklebacks
I miss never knowing where my friends are at
I am overrated and that's okay
I just want to know next year you'll still remember my name
I miss goblin hours and hangovers that never end
but most of all I miss my friends

tug on your heartstrings and try not to vomit too much
wax nostalgic and then try not to wish you were dead
the winter will be here before you know it and the spring will be here before you know it and the summer will be here before you know it and the fall will be here before you know it and the winter will be here before you know it and the spring will be here before you know it and the summer will be here before you know it and the fall will be here before you know it and the winter will be here before you know it and the spring will be here before you know it and the summer will be here before you know it and the fall will be here before you know it and the winter will be here before you know it and the spring will be here before you know it and the summer will be here before you know it and the fall will be here before you know it and the winter will be here before you know it and the spring will be here before you know it and the summer will be here before you know it and the fall will be here before you know it and the winter will be here before you know it and the spring will be here before you know it and the summer will be here before you know it and the fall will be here before you know it and

Someone took a shit on the toilet seat
and I sat down on the toilet seat.
Now I've got shit on me.
And that's okay cause lately I think
nothing means much of anything.
You woke up from a fever dream.
Sweating bullets but it was freezing.
Rolled over and went right back to sleep.
You didn't feel much of anything.
