Guess I’m transitioning
Applied a formula that’s new
Right brain keeps pressing to see it through
Still shook from ‘17
Some things you stomach and review
Try hard to not see so askew
Attacks are blistering
Can’t share a single point of view
Gave up and suddenly withdrew
But maybe change will come
Clean slate for everyone
But better ponder, better run

Fruit Balloon

I’ve never had plans
to make any bit of me better
I know it’s not mature
supposed to make 50 a year
by this point
i just need to keep everything clean
We all want our health
where it was when we were kids
just hold the hurt, the sudden height
but sugar mountain’s gone
and nothing feels right
Truth is tomorrow peels me
(like an orange in the freezer)
My legs are always dragging
(behind’s a mad killer)
I’m refusing forward reverse
this raw deal makes my head hurt
Stapled to some work you don’t even care about
Complacent into berserk
What would we do without
A narrative, so void of control
And my head hurts
And the growth spurts fail to balloon
Seeking shelter
Seeking highs from the vices consumed
Am I frozen? Am I stunned? I guess we’re all doomed

Chopped Party

Say it’s all a big joke
Before I hang up the phone
It’s been a good time
We can let it die
Launching every night of my head
Through my eyes into my bed again
Spent a long time
Trying to justify
Everything I did
Or never asked
Launching every night of my head
Through my eyes into my bed again
The sky ripped my eyes out
My flesh is still burning
I’m losing my will for any prosperity
Now there’s a blue light
Whispering to me
Saying go move on
Collapse everything
Now that you don’t know
Everything I said
I’ve gotta tell you
Us has met the end
It might be okay
I never said sorry
We never saw our
Last chopped party

Suburbs

26 and I can’t stand still
My parents still pay my cell phone bill
The weather’s changing the planet for good
Greedy people gentrify my neighborhood
And I’m still feeling misunderstood
Would I mature if I felt like I could?
Well maybe I should
The door’s closing now, I know this for sure
Friends that are older now, friends that are pure
In love and war, I guess all is fair
When hypocrisy plagues us everywhere
What would I do if I could turn back the time?
Certain happenings kept me out of line
And if you told me so, I’m sorry you did
Typical suburban, dumb, credulous kid

Nervous in the Sun

I’m getting nervous in the sun
I’m sitting twiddling my thumbs
I’m about to freak out just for fun
I’m growing tired of the new
When all my darkest thoughts come true
I wish they didn't all bleed through
I’m getting nervous in the sun
I know it’s not for everyone
I’m no exception
I’m growing tired of the new
So I stay clear of you
And now I'm dying in the cold
A new excuse for me to mold
And all compulsion is getting old
