American flailing like a fool to keep from drowning.
no, I don't care for the sun. I don't care for the summer months that blind me with heat. I fall asleep so easily with the runners passing by. even now, it's nearly autumn and they run past at 5:28 in the moring. jesus **** go to back to bed. but I suppose they could just as easily say the same to me. go back to bed, you purpose driven ******** go back to bed. go back to bed.

nearly autumn
I've always analyzed things too much but I'm rarely right and I used to fill in the gaps of things I didn't understand with things I thought were maybe archetypes and always true, but, no nothing is constant and I sometimes forget that the voices coming from the speakers are just voices who know nothing more than I do about life and the things we're supposed to feel, but must be mad enough to scream their story at me. but these don't help and won't help because as much of a fool as I may be, I know the difference between reality and idealism.

life through a record player
I hadn't left the bed for days psychotic, but I knew something that most didn't. it meant something it was rich. like all the songs they don't play on the radio anymore. like all the writers they don't read anymore. me and her me and her, we've got the same problem. but they don't listen to us anymore. I've got it bad, I've got it bad and the *** cascades over me like a waterfall in hell. we're not meant for this world, not meant for these things they subject us to. and we can't relate, at least I can't. I've got nothin'. it's a nothin'ness that gets stronger with the hours. it grows stronger as I grow weaker. --- I slept and I woke up and I drank and I slept. and I woke up a week later feeling more like myself.
