A perfect day to sob out in public Not the place to let your little monsters roam The meditation though I loved it. Could have been better in retrospect You know? But that’s okay. And maybe all of my opinions might change. Friends say that they’re busy But they’re playing video games all day I say that I’m busy too But I’m making these songs that nobody’s gonna listen to. Productivity and truth They flew the coop together. Whether or not I’ll ever even get there remains to be seen. I don’t want to be lonely anymore And I don’t wanna be crumpled up on the floor I hope. That’s my dream Third after courage and the best players joining my team. We don’t know why we’re all drifting Should I just start lifting more? No, I think I’ll just let it simmer.

Coinz 03:57
Shitty boyfriends galore inside this jewelry store Noncommittal to the core and not caring anymore Soon to be ex-girlfriends clapping while bowling Get over yourselves He only bowled a 54. I’ve got much more worth than these people in my coin collection. One year ago today you’re crying in my passenger seat Right now I’m eating Egg McMuffins in yours I forgot those motherfuckers had meat Ashamed, but never more boosted. Boosted, but never more unsure. Unsure and lost, but still never ever ever ever this clear. Clear as backwash. Kissed by the sun Soulmated by clouds You were always right I say the stupidest shit out loud.

Wearing parrots on my shirt The flowers counteract them I’m facing my fears one Polish purchase at a time I was supposed to get my job back sooner than this Now I just hope it happens sooner than the next lunar eclipse. Fuck these episodes of overthinking it all. My dental floss expired Did I forget to buy a lid? The plaque on my teeth lasted longer than my commemorative plaque at work did. I had to quit But I won’t quit the jelly beans If I end up on death row Now you know my final treat. Will you come back and visit me? That’s all that I’m asking That’s all that I’m allowed to say Everything is all that I’m allowing myself to give away. I put my best friend’s artwork smack dab in the middle of my wall My mom put my resignation letter on hers It hurts to be the way that I am sometimes. In love with a person who’s the perpetrator in their own hard knock life. Fuck, these are reruns. Fuck, I hate this. Kissed my dog’s paw back then and called it totally marvelous I drove by Taco John’s I’m on a diet but my nose is starving for attention and touch I offer my hand to your back as a sign of trust Okay, I’ll admit that was way too much. I’m sorry. Sorry for apologizing all the time. I’ve waited five years for this moment I’m considered free I don’t know what to do It is rapidly approaching Hoping that it all still comes to fruition Hoping that I’m good enough for everyone But mostly myself Fuck, you’re not coming back, are you?
