For Me

Sick from coffee, lox and no sleep
Work late, drive straight
Don't doze Andy
Three states, three days
Lost in all ways
Always trying to find something new
Private eye flumes mixed with public restrooms
I don't worship but I praise the porcelain god
Hang on to what keeps you true
For it may slip under you
I have tendencies to make emergencies
You're quick to react to cloud line urgency
I am terrified at the fact that you exist
I'm no match for this
Let me describe:
Philly cries
New York tries
Jersey lies (down)
Did you really expect me
to not fall for you?
I don't wear real shoes
(I'm sorry)

Hey there!
How are you?
What's up?
How are things going with you?
Hey there!
How are you?
What's up?
Hello, is there anybody in there?
I'm really interested
In you and your well-being
but I just truly want to
hear about errands you ran
and your weekend work schedule
and surface level problems
Getting organic dog food
Refilling cheese stick baskets
Washing dish-washing gym shorts
Treating myself to Burger King
Thinking about the death of my-
I mean just hangin' out
Hey there
Everything alright?
I'm just checking in
...
Hey there
Everything alright

Stay Above the Grave

Why is it that I fall in love with every town that I visit?
Is it the friends or the roads with the bends?
Or is it because it's not here?
I've told myself time after time after time
that I could live here until I have to die
I've downplayed just how vapid this town can be
but all of my friends have been warning me
"It's just a trick
That the brain plays on us so we believe there's places less shit than this
You'll get sick of the friends and those roads with the bends real quick
You've got to find your own way to stay above the grave they dig"
They dig they dig they dig they dig they-
Crying my way down 202
after thanking Hannah and Liam for such a wonderful time
They distracted me from sort of wanting to die
To sleep evermore
that's what I'm striving for
but someone advised me against it
"The sadness just passes to somebody else"
So why doesn't happiness do the same?
"Just give up,
you won't make any money
making sounds to make sadness vanish"
Get a job
Get two jobs to distract your problems
Whether it be a song or your own reason to believe
You've got to find your own way to stay above the grave you dig
You dig
you dig you dig you dig you
dig

It Came So Easy

You are so young you see now
"Everything will come to me now"
It comes like this
It comes too late sometimes
but it's better than (but it's better than) never
It comes like this
It came so easy for awhile
Now I force it
Oh I push it
Oh I drag it out
And reach for just the clouds
And not the stars
