you fell down
outside our hotel
while smoking a cigarette i gave you that you didn't need
that look on your face
haunts me to this day
that look on your face
i saw your old age
it was humbling and frightening
you were so vulnerable
when you've been so powerful
now i see
you're just like me

your dog died today
i'm sorry
hopefully you'll see him again when
you're on your way away
all of my folks' animals are dying
so what do i do when mine does
because they've seen theirs die
a dozen times and i'm sure
you never get used to it.

Up To It

booped a car while parallel parking
walked down the block and
an ambulance was taking someone away
wish it was meeee
so i had a better excuse than just being afraid
to mingle with folks i don't know
really wanted to go
but the gate was closed
didn't let you know
i just went home
really wanted to go
but i suppose
i just wasn't up to it that night

you're gonna die
you're killing yourself with the drink and your shitty crowd
i want you to live but i don't know what to do to help you
move out of wyoming
there's nothing for you there
your friends are enabling your addictions
and they don't care about you like i do

Homeless Man

mommy took me to the baseball game today
i watched the people clap and cheer after every good play
who are they
do they suffer
do i suffer?
daddy picked me up from band practice today
we drove home and i looked at every driver's dead face
where are they?
met a homeless man in the wal-mart parking lot
he asked me nicely for some cash and said
"i can't make it, just can't make it. can you help me?"
i couldn't

Felt Good
04:12
|
|||
|
we hung out
on my break from my job
it felt good
you made me feel good
because it feels good
to be held
by another human being for a while

Motor
02:49
|
|||
|
every day i wake
to the sound of a motor running
every day i hope
that motor breaks down
i'm gonna sneak over one night
and cut some wires
so i can sleep till 2 without that fucking motor

Back To My Bed
03:08
|
|||
|
i return, collapse, nap, wake up
cook food that doesn't taste that good
with the mouse shit on the stove
and the broken lukewarm fridge
maybe cry for help on the internet
no reactions
watch a film in the dark so i can't see
my reflection in my computer screen
have a smoke or read, then go back to sleep
back to my bed
every night solo in my room alone
gets to my head

Bye
05:00
|
|||
|
didn't know you that well
but i looked up to
your singular energy
and creative ability
i always thought of you to be invincible
but now i see
you had immense pain
none of us will ever understand
