My lungs feel young
As I breathe in this
Lovely air
Even though I
Wish that it was
Candy coated with
Your cologne

The world
Ended
We all
Died
And we
Don't even
Realize it
This is
Hell

I want to be the one
That fills up your
Polaroids
Those polaroids
You keep hidden
In your drawer
That show me
Sitting on the bed
Bare backed
In the sunlight
From the open window
With my head turned
Looking at you

Riding to the post office
On my red Schwinn
My shoes, they have holes
Because they are my favorite
And I won't stop wearing them
Until I get new ones
I'm in weather heaven
And I park my bike &
Hook it up to the bar
That I keep getting yelled at
For hooking it up to
Walk in, wait in line
And there is a baby boy
In a lady's arms, with
Bright blue eyes and
Fiery red hair, as he looks at me
With wide wide eyes
He soaks in everything that I am
His baby brain over sensitive
Firing neurons that make
Him **** in every detail
Overwhelming his little head
And he grins a tiny,
Toothless smile at me
I grin & look away
I wish I could have kids...
I buy my stamps & send a package
To my uncle
Then I go unhook my bike
Ride this weather like
A bird & try not to think
About that fiery red haired child

Wearing a Darth Vader sweater,
Surrounded by people I don't really know.
She bought me a Pink Floyd shot glass,
An early Christmas present.
Told me to bring it with me this Friday,
Said it would come in use.
She said, let's do this & I said okay.
She said there isn't anything like
Inhaling smokey fumes that release
Dopamine, I hope I'll be happy
I hope that this makes me happy again
It's been a while since I've been happy
While doing such shenanigans.
And I know after all the metal & the smoke
& the bonfire & the liquor, & the people
Oh how I love it all,
But after it's all over, that night
I just want someone to call me on
The 21st & have one of those,
Phone conversations that last for hours
To hear a human voice while ****** up,
I'd like to be ****** up, but anchored,
To the person on the other end.
The person on the other "end of the world".
Is it going to be the end of the world?
I'd like to die talking to someone
Who will call me on the 21st?

You are the epitome
Of a cult of personality
To pull the ink out of
A calligraphy pen
And make it shape
Into your face,
Now that would be,
An honour.

When I stand in the sun without makeup
You can see my tiny little purple veins
Like spiderwebs splashed on my eyelids
My pupils are almost as big as the world
And I can see all that it is, all that was
But not all that it is going to be
But I can see,
Oh, baby,
I can see
Standing around and watch people pass
Casually resting on a handrail by the library
They all have worries & cares & no one cares
About any cares but their own, they pretend
I blink my eyes and the world shifts
I can see it shift,
Oh, baby,
I can see it shift.
