Gold Mind

there’s a bird out on the ledge i
think it flew into the window
i draw the shades and i forget it
killing time with my nintendo
spend my days just like i’m waiting
for an invite to the party
but i’m so tired of masturbating
getting high and feeling sorry
i am once again asking
for you to send me a distraction
i am lost to my own devices
but that’s alright
it’s a gold mind
sometimes i think i’m treading water
Just to find i’ve already gone under now i’m
drinking whiskey in the shower
washing my hands and wondering if we’ll ever get out
cause i’m afraid to go outside
and i’m afraid to say goodnight
what if i wake up tomorrow
and don’t feel fine
i am once again asking
for you to send me a distraction
i am lost to my own devices
i am once again calling
to say i’m fine but i’m falling apart
no alarms and no surprises
but that’s alright
it’s a gold mind

Always Online

when i wake up i check my feed
it’s got that content that i need
and if i have a thought but no one reads it
then what’s the point of thinking it
having fun with friends online
can make me feel like life is fine
i crave that validation all the time
so what’s the point of faking it
[and when i see a butt i feel no pain at all]
here’s some things i’m gonna eat [like like like like]
i’m sharing all of my favorite memes [like like like like]
screaming into the void about my feelings
i have no mouth and i must tweet
[i’m not mad i’m actually laughing]
i’ll never log off i’ll never log off i’ll never log off
i’ll never log off
i’ll never log off
i’ll never log off until i’m dead

O, Modern World!
You make it hard to celebrate a single thing
It’s so much worse knowing how it all works
And I’ve been studying the blueprints
To the mechanism we’ve been building
Price tags hanging off of everything you
Love and funneling to evil men but
What we have belongs to no one else
You and I have some things in common
We’re both scared and we both stopped running
How about it now, how about it now
We don’t need any new construction
Just you and me and the means of production
How about it now, how about it now
The one joy we’re still allowed
Hey, Blotter Girl
I hear you’ve broken every window in this town
I never learned how to make empires burn
But I’ve still got your book of matches
Would you believe that you and I are in it?
Once you offered hotter conversation
I was shivering from expectation
Afraid to lose the precious spark of our youth
But there is hope
And you’re the proof
Some kinda taste lingers in your mouth
Whenever we kiss
Salt left behind from a boiled ocean
Turned into mist
When I’m with you I can see a future
Better than this
So much better than this

Wawa

got some cheetos and a gobbler
half tank of gas
and some tylenol
got an icee spiked with whiskey
another scratch-off
where i didn’t win anything at all
and i saw my high school teacher
in a faded green day t-shirt
does she remember me at all
well you haven’t texted lately
and i’ve been losing you daily
nothing good can happen
after 3 am
i’m getting drunk in the wawa
parking lot again
[woo!]

Great Shot, Kid!

We were good kids, and now we’re shitty adults
We never got in any trouble so we never learned what trouble was
And when it came to call we let it right in
We were generous hosts
Oh what a good fit: Kind intent, ill result
When they sifted through the rubble our blood was underneath its claws
Yeah it tore us apart but we survived it
Now we’re turnpike ghosts
And it all makes sense
When you play it back from where it ends
We were always meant to be here
Great shot, kid!
You blew it again
Prove your rivals right, disappoint your friends
Cuz you never want it badly enough
(Never want it badly enough)
No you never want it badly enough
Great shot, kid!
A swing and a miss
Travel back in time, meet your own damn fist
Cuz you never want it badly enough
(Never want it badly enough)
Started out with too much, you were never gonna give it up
We were rich kids
And we were stupid as hell
We were willfully indifferent, blind to the sins of wealth
Yeah we were cozy and numb and we fit right in
Until we left home
I can’t escape it
No I know it too well
That dull suburban sickness, the craving for a comfortable couch
Oh snap me out of the spell
Let me out! Let me out! Let me out!
One day they’re gonna ask us where it went
Why are we still here when our time’s been spent?
We were always slaves to our fear
Great shot, kid!
You blew it again
Prove your rivals right, disappoint your friends
Cuz you never want it badly enough
(Never want it badly enough)
No you never want it badly enough
Great shot, kid!
A swing and a miss
Travel back in time, meet your own damn fist
Cuz you never want it badly enough
(Never want it badly enough)
Started out with too much, you were never gonna give it up
(Lucky thing nobody ever gets what they deserve)
(Lucky thing nobody ever gets what they deserve)
(Lucky thing nobody ever gets what they deserve)
(Lucky thing nobody ever gets what they deserve)
Well I can’t unlearn the things I’ve learned
But now I know it’s a lucky thing
Nobody gets what they deserve
You never want it badly enough
(You never want it badly enough)
No you never want it badly enough
Great shot, kid!
You know what you did?
Took a fighting chance for your soul to live
Cuz you never want it badly enough
(You never want it badly enough)
Started out with too much, you were never gonna give it up
