making circles

I’ve been thinking, which is a dangerous thing
But I do it, no matter what it can bring
Wasting hours and what’s left of my brain
I’ve been drinking, one of my favorite things
And I do it, no matter what it can bring
Spending money and losing all the change
It took too long to realize there’s a hole in my heart
I passed out in the middle of the party I was hosting and I
I would hate you but I’ve been in love with you
For a long, baby, long, baby, long time
A long, baby, long, baby, long time
You were looking, which is a dangerous thing
But you do it, no matter what it can bring
But you’re a loser cause losing is my game
I’m misleading unintentionally
I just follow every thought that I think
Making circles to end up in the same place

the straight man

Yesterday I looked myself in the eyes
And saw the blood and said aloud “I am dying”
The awful aching pounding echoing in my mind
But my heart is always beating
And my mouth is always shaped into a smile
I sat next to a woman bleeding from her face
And a drunk screaming ‘bout politics and the human race
The smell of marijuana and a boy with a crooked smile
With pilot goggles on his head
And thoughts of making money on his mind
Emotional frustrations, necks all fool of ink
And sneezing on the neighbors who keep eavesdropping
Staring at my reflection and the Kimball sign
And the child who is staring back at everyone who’s along for the ride
And staying near the driver who doesn’t ever pay him any mind
Streetlights stand like soldiers perfectly aligned
And hover over everyone like poltergeists
Protecting from the evil waiting for the night
And the child keeps on looking back and locking on a gaze into my eyes
He’s the straight man in a world he never purposely ventured out to find
But his heart is always beating
And his mouth is always shaped into a smile

this duet is now a solo

Forget all of the times and the nights we spent together
Memorizing the words and the harmonies
But this duet has now become a solo
What could I do? I was so in love with you
But every time I look you’re on his arm
And staring in the lights with a twinkle in your eye
You’ll never know how much you did me wrong
What can I say, you took my heart away
And ripped it out and left it on the floor
I bled on the cassette and and put it in my chest
But it’s not enough to cover up the hole
You, you’ve got it all
And I’ve got nothing at all
But these thoughts in my head
And my heart
And this record that I tore apart
I ripped it up

all alone

Lost in the white haze
And withering away
And awake for days straight
Sometimes hallucinate
Surrounded by lost fakes
And users and deadweight
But just don’t you leave all alone
No, don’t you leave me here all alone
Turned on those around me
Hated my surroundings
Sit outside my front door
Delay what I was in store for
But no matter how awful
Or how much I’d waffle
Just don’t you leave all alone
No, don’t you leave me here all alone
I hope, I hope it’s not true
But every time I look back I’d undo (redo?)
What I did, it’s too late
I never learn from my mistakes
We were so young when
We were so dumb then
Alternate who’s empowered
Ignoring the hours
Waking up with migraines
And calling in too late
Just don’t you leave all alone
No, don’t you leave me here all alone
I hope, hope you know that it’s true
That would never, never undo
Anything I did It’s too late
I know my mind is made
