2. Hey!

Sleepy and out of it, non-committal moderate. Used to be talented but now I’m just a piece of shit and every single bone in my body feels like an anchor holding me down. Browsing the internet, ghosting on my friends again. Ask me “hey, how’ve you been?” I’ll say I’m fine and keep it in an every single bone in my body feels like an anchor holding me down. I feel responsible for every single thing I’ve ever done in my whole life. I don’t know if I’ve ever really been rebellious or if I have ever toed the line. Hey! I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. I’ve never done anything wrong. Sitting down, gaining weight, got a lot to contemplate. Bed at 2:00AM rise at 8:00AM, repetition fosters hate and every single bone in my body feels like an anchor holding me down. Arguing on the phone, failing at being alone. Hearing you use that tone rattles me right down to the every single bone in my body feels like an anchor holding me down. I feel responsible for every single thing I’ve ever done in my whole life. I don’t know if I’ve ever really been responsible or if I’ve ever toed the line. Hey! I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. I’ve never done anything wrong in my entire life. You must be thinking of somebody else. He doesn’t sound particularly nice. Hey! I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. I’ve never done anything wrong in my entire life. You must be thinking of somebody else.

3. Younger Man

When I was a younger man I used to think that everything was just a matter of the company you kept and how you placed your bets. Then I spent three hundred sixty-seven afternoons pretending I was busy when I really overslept again. Do you wanna go outside and play? No I wanna stay in bed all day so that when I wake up I’ll still feel tired and so when I go get high I’ll feel higher and then maybe I won’t have to think so much about tomorrow. Hey remember when I pulled the bedroom curtains closed and didn’t even think to check if I set my alarm. Self-sabotage and harm. That was one of many afternoons I spent in full seclusion far away form any socializing with my friends. Do you wanna go outside and play? No I wanna stay in bed all day so that when I wake up I’ll still feel tired and so when I go get high I’ll feel higher and then maybe I won’t have to think so much about tomorrow. If you knew me when I was no good then I’m sorry. If you’ve gotten to know me since then then I’m not sorry. But I never thought I’d hear me say I only ever wanna be okay. When I was a younger man I used to make myself convinced that if I concentrated I could get away with anything I’d say. Then I tried to make myself into a picture of a person I had only ever heard about inside a dream. Do you wanna go outside and play? No I wanna stay in bed all day so that when I wake up I’ll still feel tired and so when I go get high I’ll feel higher and then maybe I won’t have to think so much about tomorrow. If you knew me when I was no good then I’m sorry. If you’ve gotten to know me since then then I’m not sorry. But I never thought I’d hear me say I only ever wanna feel okay.

4. The E-Mail

There’s no longer enough room in this house for all your stuff, so come and get it out of here. I don’t understand you. You won’t even look me in the eye. I changed all the locks you can’t get in unless I’m there. How’s your Saturday? I thought that you might want to stop by and take a look and bring some things back home with you. I don’t understand you. You won’t even look me in the eye. (Is there anything I can help you with? You seem pretty down.) There’s no longer enough room in my house for all your stuff. I’m gonna throw it all away. I don’t even care. The way you treat me is so wrong. I must move on. I’ll see you when I can, I guess. I’ll see you when I can.

5. Omens

I used to really go for omens. Every stray thought was a curse. Every crack on every sidewalk would put my mother in a hearse or maybe worse I don’t remember now. The two things I hate most in this world are waking up and going to bed. I wish I could pick one or the other, whichever helps me get ahead in this world. I know sometimes I really wanna drown in that familiar sound, put the computer down, and go outside and pick up sticks from off the ground. I’ve gotta tidy up my spirit, get all my thoughts back in a row. Gotta put two and two together to tell the people what I know (I think that’s how it goes, I don’t remember now). Put my soul inside a freezer. Put my head inside a can. I’ll feel inadequate as I always have, but keep my heart inside my hands and carry it around. I know sometimes I really wanna drown in that familiar sound, put the computer down, and go outside and pick up sticks from off the ground.

6. Two Men Fishing

Look at these two men fishing on the pond again. They wanted me to take the paddle boat out with them. They’ve each got two kids playing in the woods alone. Who knows what they’re up to, they’re always looking at their phone. We got in a fight here a couple of months ago. I’m sorry that I screamed so loud I made you want to go back home. Look at these lovebirds laying in their nest again. You know that I’m extremely lucky to say you’re my very best friend.

7. Little Window
(co-written with Pink Nois)

There’s a little window inside you. I can see the wind blow behind you. As I roll the car down the driveway I can feel the past explaining how I’ll be saved. Everybody knows there’s no making it out of this mess alive or all together. I’ve been taking time trying to find myself in the picture. I’ve been taking time. I’ve been trying to find myself. I’ve been taking time trying to find myself in the picture. I’ve been taking time trying to find myself. And I realize that I don’t need to sing anything pre-ordained ‘cause all of it is inside of me. I’ve been trying to take some time, trying to find myself in the picture. I’ve been taking time trying to find, trying to find. For myself, I’ve been taking time trying to find myself in the picture. I’ve been taking time trying to find myself, find myself, find myself. Find yourself. Find yourself. Find yourself. Find yourself.

8. When I Look At You

When I look at you I feel incredibly grateful that you would spend time with me unselfishly talking about the things we need to do. We could watch a show, eat the rest of our sushi, take the dog for a walk around the block, spend a little time online. All night. We never talk enough. We don’t have the time. But I’ll try to be your meter if you try to be my rhyme. We don’t hang out too much. We couldn’t if we tried. But I know that I am yours, babe, and you know that you are mine. And every once in a while when I look at you I see the whole world smile.

9. When Will I See You Again?

Who left that book on the piano the day my daddy moved away? That’s all they left there in the playroom on that sunny winter’s day. Lord have mercy on my soul. A single trapezoid of sunlight lay across the hardwood floor. The more I sat and looked upon it the more it looked just like a door. Lord have mercy on your soul. And though the hall was dark and scary for a boy I knew it led me to my bedroom for the night. And some years later you would call me but, annoyed, I would just wait for you to say goodnight. Goodnight, goodnight. Why’d you get rid of the computer? I thought it worked perfectly fine. Now, I’m not much for reminiscing, but I had such an awesome time on America Online. Lord have mercy on my soul. I helped you move your old Victrola, tied up with rope and bungee cord. You always were a rock ’n roller, and all that punk stuff made you bored. Only Caruso made you cry. Lord have mercy on your soul. And though the hall was dark and scary for a boy I knew it led me to me bedroom for the night. And some years later you would call me but, annoyed, I would just wait for you to say goodnight. Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight. When will I see you again? When will I see you again? Please tell me that you’ve only met a temporary end. When will I see you again?

10. Fireball

I’m eating a vegan breakfast burrito where you work again. I’m growing quite fond of the taste and I’m starting to like it more than the regular kind, whatever that is. And after I’m done I will chew on a piece of our favorite gum from a pack that we share and take a moment to reflect on how you never buy cinnamon even though you like the taste of it. Why does everyone around here like Fireball? Do I really have to change like the settings on my firewall? I thought that I told you all of this before, but me and the dog will wait for you at the door. Later, we’re watching scary movies in the dark at home. You cover your eyes for the parts that you don’t like and you ask me to tell you when it’s over, but I don’t know. I say, “it’s about the surprises.” Why does everyone around here like Fireball? Do I really have to change like the settings on my firewall? I thought that I told you all of this before, but me and the dog will wait for you at the door.
