Old Jeans 03:42
I need to cut a new hole in my belt To compensate for a shrinking waste of breath, which I have felt realized to late I should have saved a little for myself I sleep through the day in the middle of the week 'cause I'm up all night feeling guilty about the birthmark on your cheek I apologize for acting stupid when I should for being weak I miss the days where everything seemed to fit It's all still there, but it feels different I'm hoping all the things can be the way they were I need to cut a new hole in my heart To make some room, to accommodate you without falling apart my belt's too long and I haven't slept, but I guess that it's a start.

My exoskeleton is recharging for his friends on a futon in a polite suburban forest next to the highway going southwest; there are too many cars on the side streets and too many lanes between the exits between us and all my logic is broken so I probably shouldn't be driving in the first place; I am trying to shut out the proverbial light so I can catch a reluctant glint in the dark with my own eyes; but you can't catch a break because The televisions on and the internet is on and besides you are constantly on it and it is constantly in your pocket What am I anymore besides defined by being three minutes late to walking to the bus and remembering all winded and sweaty that you still forgot something important? So no, I can't come visit you this weekend I know it's been a long six months butI need to think just for second so I'll text you Later on.

Good Grief 03:01
You ran away with the sun, one night You ran away like a cold, cold river Now you return with the warmth of the sun And I would rather just stay cold for the winter You were my favorite ghost in the forest Now I will spread your ashes over the riverbed I'm feeling better now that you're not haunting me Maybe you'll go to heaven now that you are gone from me Your handwriting's bad, but I kept the notes that you wrote for me I hear your words from across a bridge and they are choking me.
4.
I never know when you are awake Or when you're going to tell me that you're sleeping Throw away an "I'll talk to you in the morning" Like a nickel that fell out of your pocket when you sat on the loveseat Will you even notice that it's gone? Will you remember where to look? Is it really worth deeming a loss When you already having something worth more? Like going home for the first time to an empty house. A blanket with holes that you've known all your life on the couch. A nervous neck to inhale while you touch. Is anything really worth that much?
