drink it like it's medicine
all I ever hear of it
fine isn't always best
of the land for all the rest
but we wake up and mind our manners
or pick you up late just to take you
home it doesn't feel like
and it's soft when it's hard
yeah it's you that I've liked
and you cringe when I touch you and I die inside
none of it's happening
it's taking me out
I get stars and streets
and who needs anything less
then I do, now
you're a romantic fool
i know because of the drugs
underneath it all
so let's just go swimming
or something, right?
because at the end of the night
it's fine if we're a little bleary-eyed
for school
there's no life beyond this
and my bloodstream is screaming out
boy
you look great in stolen anything
where'd you learn how to
do anything
won't ask nothing
i'm good to go
there's a whole wide world
but it's closing in
rush rush rush rush
over
Open up old sounds and suck the sugar
Cupboards are empty and I need
"Darling, do you remember?" I creep my tongue
In between the bitter and the sweet I sink in
A tooth and I pull back some, "come over"
I have to hold my mouth to stop it
Hands busy typing "Oh brick walls
Our tired cliche's become authentic" again I
Release my mouth, it's small and
White and the top layers are nearly dead
I rub and it turns pink again.
nothing i ever do
will be good enough for you
gonna say it
cheeky
hands in my sleeves
with a smile for the mile
the ultimate joke
don't care but i hope
and maybe you will
brush back the hair
outta one
of our eyes
wouldn't that be nice
if i could pretend
it wasn't a plan!
it just happened
i knew what to say
at the right moment
and it turned out this way
but no
you'll know
but since i know
do you see?
this is the problem that's plaguing me
haggling with a man
who's wares
are free
Dia-versity
and a hostile environment
skimpy seconds
why play zero bases
when you can tease
i got the feeling
but i don't want to hurt
no one
i got the second
dream of my life
i've got it under my thumb
you big man
how many today
man
full hard thirds
when i got the time
i lack the words
how many
MORE? everything's
for you
we'll always have
each
other
and the devil
say we do
i don't wanna
reach out
but that might
be a retraction,
true-
dia-
verisity
bio
-logical
how's the
weather-
i'm stripping down here
just for you.
OKAY OKAY
capitals
here's what i'm gonna do i'm gonna
curl up into a little fetus ball and shriek
"fuck YOU FUCK. YOU!"
until you see how real i am and then you laugh and
we'll be such good friends!
oh awesome
okay this is totally the new plan
and we're gonna!
right then and right now and right when-
we're gonna both be ready like
and we're gonna chop! like
team chop-o
cop
chop-o-cop-o-drop
ters
team TEAM!
ho holy hell man
it's good have ya back
and all this time i thought you were mad
you were just playin' me,
yeah?
man i totally thought this was just a poem.
i love that we
were in love
and then we talked
ourselves out of it
there was a
second
but they-say
no no no
and whatever
truth we choose
it's me
it's you
that's all we
will do
but cold ones
have warm
secrets, to
talk about
among themselves
one and
one for
all one, alone
hey what
would you say
to my
coming home?
oh gosh
i never told you
i was calling you
that
part of a scheme i
knew was
bound to fall flat
anyway i love
that we
support
destruction
of everything we could
ever
just-
because
some ideas
are sometimes
often
what betray us.
