Green Suitcases

I'm moving out
My bags not packed
But I've paid the deposit
I'm never looking back
I got this suitcase next door
I just have to fix the clasp
The outside is green
The inside is black
I'm moving home
My bag's not packed
But I swear, cross my heart and hope to die, that you and I
Are going to build something this summer

I showed up late for class with a flask in my back pocket. I passed out on my desk. I came to when the professor said, "the particles in your desks are shaking, the particles in the air are shaking."
We walked home blacked out like our socks on asphalt. I'm surprised we ever made it to your dorm. The particles on your lips are shaking because of the particles in my fingertips. And the particles that are in my hips are shaking because the particles in your lips are shaking. If I wake up tomorrow I won't eat a god damn thing, how can we ever rest if we're never holding still?

No Sunshine

I ran through the house naked
My head was screwed on backwards
I was so turned on
Lightbulb I smashed
Fleshborne attack
I had a dream and you were there
You were there too, and I was fucking gone
Like birds-eye view, my favorite subconscious concept
You left me on the corner with the sun burning a hole in my pocket,
I am shapes of lint bursting into flame
You can't be anything you want.
You can't be anything at all.
Late night TV lobotomy, drool running down my chin, I'm halfway day.
You scremed in vain in God's eye, he blinked twice and you forgot what he said, but there's no profit if he's a liar.
There is no sunshine on the moon.
There is no sunshine at all.

I am Invisible Today
03:18

I have an exploding brain in my head
I have an imploding mind in my brain
It never starts, never stops
Never ends, always begins
Are you defeated by your own thoughts?
Does this world drag you down?
I think you just need to sit down, and shut up.
I guess I was wrong, all along, after all, there is no me.
I am invisible today.
I am barely even here.

Easier Still

You should see the other side
Where the grass is greener still
And when you reach the other side
You will just climb another hill
It never gets easier still
And in time you will come to find
That everything has to unwind
You're no exception to this rule
To think so you must be a fool
It never gets easier still
When you reach the other side
Sisyphus will be waiting for you
And you had better take your time
It will just roll down the other side
It never gets easier still

Sammy Needs a Shrink

You were trying to rig your luck
Crashed into your boyfriend's truck
Copper can't conduct fast enough
Going gets so tough
This will look better tomorrow
You fell asleep on the job
Unemployed and out of luck
Gotta stage at the club, Call Girl, Lovely, I hope that you make so much easy money
Are you losing your mind?
Do you have the time?
Will you be my valentine?
I don't want your valentine
You were trying to rig your luck
But it seems that you are fucked
Copper can't conduct fast enough
Going gets so tough
Things will look better after six more weeks
While you have a place to call your own
While you have a nice padded room
Sammy you should see a shrink
You need the help
Please do it for your health

Hello Afterglow

Hello afterglow
Where have you been my whole life?
Ever since you showed up everything just seems to go right
And everybody knows that a dog needs a bone
The first time I saw you shine was like the first time I saw the sun
And all I want to say to you is "hello afterglow"
Hello afterglow, goodbye sunny skies.

Lonely Waves

They say it's gonna rain all week
So I guess I'll just stay inside
Watch a lot of bad TV
Or waste away online
I don't wanna talk about the weather
I don't really want to talk to you
It's not my fault your stupid
You've got no one to blame you
And I'll ride this lonely wave for weeks
I won't make it out to see
I'll be in the puddle down the street
When the flood dries up I'll get back on my feet
But I don't wanna go home right now
I can float out to your house
And pass out on your couch
I'll get a ride back home when the next storm comes around
When the water fills the streets and carries me outside, but I think that I'll be okay if I've got these friends of mine.

I swear to god that God was pissed and drunk the day it made the first black hole, when the veil goes up and the shit goes down all I want are some space age sweatpants and a thermonuclear headband. I just want to be comfortable. I fell asleep atop your bulldogs bed. It was the middle of August, Mama Gravity placed a pillow below my head, I was still asleep after the sun came up, I've never understood anything about bad luck, and maybe that's why we talk about it so much, but I'm tired and alone and stoned so I don't know if I know what I'm talking about. Some nights this bed is small and uncertain, but this morning the sheets seemed infinite, at the madness beyond the walls of sleep, I was so at peace and lost, and I'm not the boss of anything, besides my hands and my mouth and my teeth and I don't think that I want more than that, on Sunday morning it is cold and wet, I'm bored there's a universe outside my bedroom, I don't have an excuse.
