let's start this off with a statement:
i question why chapters close
ink smeared across all the pages, faintly
smudged like the blood from your nose
don't go, don't go, don't go
we still have things to laugh about
don't go, everybody hopes
this is a sick joke
i hope you know
sunlight erases the pavement
heat dances through wavy lines
and i've forgotten everything
i can't remember why
don't go, don't go, don't go
we still have things to laugh about
don't go, everybody hopes
this is a sick joke
i hope you know
and the sun distorts the landscape
bleaches clothes, slow roast
and i feel the antecedent to the consequence
better come close
don't go, don't go, don't go
we still have things to laugh about
don't go, everybody hopes
this is a sick joke
i hope you know
it's like the world we're used to
the friends we used to call
it's slightly less predictable, that's all

i miss you more
each fading day
i miss you laying there
blades of blonde blown 'cross your face
and we were 24 and 19
all our hopes and dreams in a sweater
tangled ball of yarn, far from fine
i'll just hold your hand to feel better
please don't mind, don't mind
i miss you more
forever isn't progress
you're glaring over my shoulder
folded arms across your chest
we're both so wonderfully naïve
all our hopes and dreams in a sweater
tangled ball of yarn, far from fine
i'll just hold your hand to feel better
please don't mind, don't mind
don't mind, don't mind
please don't mind your hand in mine
and we were 24 and 19

widest pupils in dimmest light
counting cats, i'm not alone tonight
flurries blur out a worried skyline
seems i've lost all motivation
i've been slowly scrolling along
twenty half-filled applications
but level 21 donkey kong, 1-9-8-4!
close the windows, pick out a page
publications say i'm enraged
such unrest makes my coffee taste great
excuse my morbid fascination
i've been lost in jungles of thought
starved in virtual desolation
and i'll stand right before you like Christ
i am the king of the sofa
i'm still the lord of the cats
stay off my royal recliner
you can test my reign,
but good luck with that, yeah!
i am the mexican hairless
i'm still the one with the brass
you claim i'm megalomaniacal
let's check the facts
yeah, you'll take that back, yeah
mexican hairless
i scratch my bare chest
mexican hairless
i can't believe i'm the one with the mess
i am a freezer-food microwave burrito
i am a half-consumed bag of crusty cheetos
i am a piece of meat gnawed off by mosquitos
i....
i am a cigarette torching a casino
i am a gator-skin briefcase stuffed with c-notes
i am a slacker-dork, i'm the dweeb that she chose
i am a scrap of paper containing launch codes for torpedoes
i am a cigarette torching a casino
i am a gator-skin briefcase stuffed with c-notes
i am a ufo, crashed outside of reno
i....
i am a medicine, poisonous placebo
i am a paradox, primal superego
i am a universe, everything that we know
i...
i am a nuclear blast spitting out neutrinos
i am a gory film, quentin tarantino
i am a mexican dog with few amigos
i....
i am a....

human life is pocket change
in a pocket full of candy
everybody calls me names
but you can call me randy
savage!
optimists like you are strange
your cheer is so demanding
i flex my muscles in your face
so you can see i'm manly
savage!
when you're feeling bored and plain
i might just come in handy
everybody calls me names
but you can call me randy
