Big Mistake
04:39

donated to the Red Cross
picked up litter that had been tossed
into the riverbed
didn’t watch porn before bed
helped direct some foreigners
gave my money to guys on corners
but I am not a saint
I was preparing for a date
building up my karma so that I would be
in the good books of whatever deity
was presiding over my chances to sleep
with you
that plan seemed to work
got a second date and then a third
but then i got reckless
a woman in a dress
asked me for some change
but i declined and walked away
and i felt really bad
but i didn’t turn back
and i should’ve known, should’ve known right then
that whatever we had was gonna come to an end
i stopped fearing the gods i swear i don’t believe in
and now i see that was a
big mistake
now i’m wishing you would
tell me the perfect guy who wandered into your life was really
a big mistake
(don’t fuck with god, be a good person, don’t think you’re hot)

Mental Health
04:06
|

I’ve just been lying
On my porch and trying
Not to think about lying
In your bed and trying
Not to check my messages
Every 15 seconds is
It hard on you? It isn’t
And that’s the worst admission
You used to talk to me when I got down
You used to lay me out on the couch
Now I gotta do it all myself
My mind is overheating like an ice shelf
You’re the picture of mental health
And you put me in mental hell
But I am going to crawl out
With television and time’s help
I made a self-directive
To put things in perspective
So I watched a retrospective
About the Great Depression
And I started volunteering
Litter does need clearing
Yeah I’m picking up lost earrings
And trying not to picture them on
You used to talk to me when I got down
You used to lay me out on the couch
Now I gotta do it all myself
My mind is overheating like an ice shelf
You’re the picture of mental health
And you put me in mental hell
But I am going to crawl out
With television and time’s help
A book on introverts
Told me to
Accept the good and the bad
So that’s what I’ll do
The good was knowing you
The bad’s not pleasing you
The good was knowing you
Used to talk to me when I got down
You used to lay me out on the couch
Now I gotta do it all myself
My mind is overheating like an ice shelf
You’re the picture of mental health
And you put me in mental hell
But I am going to crawl out
With television and time’s help

Stargazing
03:03
|

Held hands
Wait to be freed
His slips away
Silently and she
Knows it is what it is
It’s a take and a give
So she sighs just a bit
And watches as he turns and spits
And he says
That he wants love
But he don’t
And she says
That they’ll break up
But they won’t
Stargazing at the ocean floor
The beauty’s there, but it’s not what they’re looking for
Still they can’t turn away
they’re entranced by the sight
cuz they know what it’s like
for a beautiful thing to not feel quite right
And he says
That he wants love
But he don’t
And she says
That they’ll break up
But they won’t

Neighbours (making love)
04:57
|

The Wretched of the Earth
Is really no match for
The sadness in my gut
So now it’s coming for my lungs
Because I don’t fit in
And I’m surrounded
By sane kids having fun
Neighbours making love
When I eat alone
When I check a silent phone
The sadness in my gut
Starts coming for my lungs
Because I don’t fit in
And I’m surrounded
By sane kids having fun
Neighbours making love
And not quietly
Love and not quietly
Love and not quietly
Love and not quietly
Only comes sometimes
But it came more being surrounded by
So many peers
Who all contribute to the fears
That I’m letting my
Social golden days pass me by
And there’s some merit to those
But I gotta find a better way to be on my own
On my own
On my own
On my own
