autumn leaves are turning green
patterns in time, stop fucking killing me
avoid disease, seek clarity
prosperity, never within reach
don’t discard what you want because it’s marked
i found god in a plastic cup, he said “everyone is mark”
you shove your pointer finger straight down my throat
keep my mouth shut to stop the secrets pouring out
guess I’ll hang around a little while
stand in the corner and force a fucking smile
& i love staring at the world burning alive as the sun comes through the window
& hits my face
speculative fiction, dust-ridden dictionary on my bedside table
i wanna know all the words!
it’s absurd, the lengths i go
to make myself out to be a halfway functioning human being
i’ll be honest
i could try harder
all of the time
but who am i kidding
can’t make it past ‘akimbo’
well who really likes trying anyway?

I took a hit too much
now I cant understand a thing
mouths moving at record speed
inaudible dialogue
my mind, once a noble steed,
is now totally fucked
this is some real hell indeed
how do I get unstuck
drag me out by my feet
I think ive had enough
Someone please take me home
I need a new time zone
At least a month alone
Where I can hear nothing
I miss the sound of nothing
Just the ringing in my ears
The silence dies and fills with the thing I truly want to-
HEAR
HEAR
HEAR

love my black screen
it's my favorite part of me
shiny stitched friends
our despotted connection
drove my car into the Lake
michael made a big mistake
and I do everything it tells me
I'm not free
hey! black screen, our new brain
we've lost all control of it!
drove your car into the Lake
michael made the big mistake
'cause you'll do anything it tells you to
you aren't you
you're not free
and we'll never be free
handcuffed to technology
the wool is thick & we can't see
black screen is a hungry wolf
and we're just sorry she loves my black screen

went back to those gold soundz
they didn’t sound as gold as they did in ‘98
the world was burning and you felt great! … anyways
the brat pack, ur little crew
all laced in tiny shoes
the bowl cuts, sugartooth
wish this could last forever
unleashed unto the streets with reckless abandon
your parents would regret this night in the morning
you stood guard while the sun slept
and felt purpose for the very first time
purpose turned you
inside out, a skellington
you murdered your youth
you watched it slip
into an early grave
with a shovel and a smile on your face
sharpen your teeth, step into the dark
open your empty heart
cmon sugartooth, there’s no time to lose
you’re coming to your chorus now

open up on my dumbstruck mug
watching two red lights disappear down the road
fuckface growing dimmer
from the constantly receding glow
glad you couldn’t see me standing there
now i don’t see you anywhere
cut to: two weeks later
friends’ assurances, “that’s just how life goes”
montage of summer ‘16
you were drop-dead
too different people; you pristine, me wasted
& three years pass
we grow apart just as fast
careening down different paths
you’re my savior, i’m your sadsack
i kept saying “it’s just a roughpatch”
i kept saying “it’s just a roughpatch”
but a bottle’s not a fucking “roughpatch”
so we went back
to the place we fell in love
& you said that, you “never wanna see me again”
i respect that, but we drove here in your car
spent three hours in silence til the gaslight lit up
then i lit up too, exploded
so you left me there
in wyoming, rhode island
what a shitty place to say goodbye
i don’t wanna say goodbye yet!
it’s too early to put this to bed
& i can’t close my fucking eyelids
i’m never gonna leave this town
never gonna leave this-
