I know that all my friends will lie to me
I know that that's the way it's gotta be,
But it's still fucking depressing to me.
Watch me think my way away from finding sleep.
See,
I don't know where they went,
These feels come all too frequent.
I live a life that's full of regret
I just wanna stop and scream,
I don't get it!
For every step forward there are two more back.
My friends keep urging me Donnie Just Relax
But I'm an Aspie and I'm manic that makes it hard
My brain is sore my heart is worn
There's no money in this card.
Sorry to disappoint but what's the point in trying that hard when...
People are people and that's all they'll be.
Nothing any human can do will ever fix me.
I'm jealous and angry and I'm loving and sad but,
I just want a hug so damn bad.
I know that all my friends will lie to me
I know that that's the way it's gotta be,
But it's still fucking depressing to me.
Watch me think my way away from finding sleep.

I just wanna hold somebody's hand.
I just wanna keep some of these plans.
I just wanna love someone who loves me and
Stop writing these platonic love songs but they go
On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
I just wanna unwind.
Scream out how I feel to the sky.
Landing here lonely at night well,
What's the point when you migrate alone?
But they fly,
On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
I'm tired of seeing this animal in the mirror.
I just wanna be a little deer.
So hunt me
And kill me
To feed yourself tonight.
These secret platonic love songs feel so right when
I know that they're so wrong, but they go...
On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on

Beautiful Photons
02:20

You want your mother to know that all your energy
Every vibration
Every BTU of heat
Every wave
Every particle
That was her beloved child
Remains in this world
Amid the energy of the cosmos you know
You gave as good as you got.
The photons that ever bounced off your face,
The particles that passed interrupted by your smile
By the touch of your hair
Hundreds of trillions of particles race off like children
Their ways forever changed by you.
The photons that bounced from you
gathered in the particle detectors that are her eyes.
Those photons within her created constellations of
electromagnetically charged neurons whose energy will go on forever.
The warmth that flowed through you in life is still here.
Still part of all that we are even as we mourn
The heat of our own lives continues.

Blooming Ruins

Fell asleep inside your bones.
I found a happenstance home
a place where I though I belonged
But then I chose to get up and walk away
Screaming and shouting and running around the room
Until I walked away all I saw was the flowers grow and bloom
You watched me grow I, I watched you cry.
Pretty sure you said you wanted to die, I
Pushed and pulled no doubt made a rough ride,
But we both found something we needed to find
Screaming and shouting and running around the room
Until I walked away all I saw was the flowers grow and bloom

You Left A Mark

I guess I'm better off
A little farther South from you
I've got stability
Something that you could not give me
But I'd be damn wrong
If I said I didn't miss my home
The apartment on North Church Street
Eating tacos every single day
Making music with my friends
Wasting nights on video games
But things had to change
Seen too much of those days
Rockford is the bee's fuckin' knees
I'm sick of all you dorks complaining about it
Cause if it were up to me
We'd switch places in a minute

We were such a tight-knit group of dudes
Donnie's house was the place we all went to
I basically lived there for like a year, and then I actually did
And now I hardly see my dudes anymore
All my friends are leaving
Or I'm leaving all my friends
I feel like we're stretched too thin
Like butter over too much bread
I'm gonna miss you guys when you go
I'm gonna miss you guys when I go
I miss you guys all the time
I remember when we kids
And we still had fun doing nothing
And we walked anywhere we wanted to go
And we didn't always worry about money
And we didn't have to go to work in the morning

Losing Battle

I've spent half my life
Telling others and myself that I have a hobby
And maybe in time
I'll get good
Good enough to be proud
Of something I've made
And I won't be ashamed to play it
To myself in an empty room
And this is a prime example
Of something I'll hate
Ten minutes from now
In fact, I hate it now
I feel kind of stupid
And I don't care enough to finish

Going To Chicago
03:11
|
|

For an hour I watch you as you prepare
For the inevitable disappointment
Reluctantly, I throw on my denim jacket
And I slip on my bleach stained shoes
And we pile in the car and we head East
Completely forgetting or ignoring the expected relief
That we foresee from a day spent in the city
Has never greeted us before
And we drive for an hour
through the traffic and red lights
And the smog cloaks the skyline
I can't find parking to save my life
Now I'm pissed off and I'm yelling
When suddenly and mercifully, the truth rings in us
Chicago's a mess and it's not worth the effort
We change course and floor it home
