i see where i'm headed
it's not good
it's through the most dreaded neighborhood
scratching the surface
of my skin, again, i guess
nobody's perfect
we're just kids who pretend
we're all best friends
trying our best to just fit in
i race like a skateboard
through a ditch
i hate that i say more than i wish
i race like a skateboard through an old dilapidated ditch
full of garbage, like old juice boxes and discarded drug needles
somehow it reminds me of when i used to walk through the alley
past mr. mcneil's house and his cats would always be out there
pawing at some dead animal,
like a bird, or a mouse, or even a snake
it reminds me to just keep my head down
and avoid eye contact at all costs,
even if i feel like people are perpetually staring at me

let's consider this a clue
it's been said i like the comfort of my doom
but that's just rumors, its not too true
at least not words that anyone can definitely prove
sexual selection
the usual rejection
genuine obsession
all the animals were blind
you don't know just where i'm from
and where i've been
and for a hundred thousand bucks
you'll get a billion rent-a-friends
it's been quite a ride with you
wouldn't trade it for a dumpster with a view
like the brightest supermoon you
emit a bluish hue to any room by fluke you walk into
virtual perfection
venereal infection
butterfly collection
shiny pins stabbed through their lives
you don't know
just what i've done to truly care
just ask the million dollar question
you'll get a billion vacant stares
kosovo, monaco, montenegro, mexico
kosovo, kosovo, kosovo, kosovo, kosovo

i wish i had the heart of eagles
instead of just this heart of evil
i know some days it isn’t easy
when you break down, it’s just to spite me
wrap your dreams in sheets of silver
dig them deep just like a splinter
let the sliver start to fester
don’t lie to me, we know you messed up again
you know i’ve loved you like a brother
i'll take the heat, you run for cover
feel the black hole surge from all sides
you know it’s been a really long time
