I expect way to goddamn much from people and I don't know how to deal with my own problems
I ran my fingers through your hair Ran my words through your insecurities I was high Serotonin Dancing It all seems so distant We looked at the stars We didn't look at each other You are my friend I will crash so soon

New places
I'm in a mcdonalds parking lot Thinking about what a ******* wreck some of this town is But you'll get that anywhere anyway Because what can we help doing When were driven by desires We **** it all up Even ourselves Look at this food I'm eating It's all **** But I see bright lights In the eyes of even the homeless

Mcdonalds
Well I feel it in me now I said Your lovely cheeks becoming red I feel the tired tightness In my chest and in my bones Variations on the theme of "Will I ever have a home?" I think I love you Whispered you In my ears and flowing through The air around our touching lips Moments before the moment rips Itself beside its fragile frame There is no there It's all the same This time and then What happens next Like remnants of some withered text A marble statue of my passions The instant that they Fall away

Homeless
I smile as tears fall down my cheeks Saltwater as response Tear ducts open to melancholy music I smile because I am experienced I know these tears like family And yes the thought of my family makes me cry They are all like songs themselves Tragic and cutting deep I cannot look at them without falling Violin harmonizes with her voice My soul harmonizes with the ambiance The atmosphere of this place is Haunting

Harmonies
Static surrounds my body Unholy Crackling sound Spaces between the places Between what's real My fingers trace figure eights On book spines Compromising with air Bartering exhale for breath

Open Heavy Eyelids It is Still Morning The sun is still outside waiting To touch the perspiring skin of the uninitiated This world is no perfect circle You are no machine You are Alive

Alive
And if I could only slow down Part my fragile self-conscious lips Let these frail wisps of language escape their cage Instead of shooting them like cannons Into the walls that everyone puts up It does no good to destroy you And so I look out a window At stalks of untrimmed weeds blowing And sun guiding their unhurried gait

Our bodies are carbonated plastic
I don't have the courage to touch a woman (I lay down a line of a white powder) I don't have the power to maintain silence (face to table, inward vacuum of powder) I want to feel her hair (I lay back my head and close my eyes) I fantasize about commanding her attention (I swallow the pill) I need to hear your secrets (drink after drink after drink) Need you to read my words and love me (swallowed whole by emptiness) Need to be needed (need to forget this world)

Pitfalls of desire
Yeah these words flow through me now Now they fall off my fingers like shedding skin Get caught in my throat and fall back down through my neck When I try to say them So they ferment in my soul
