I’m thinking about the way you jump over things And how you trip over guitar chords And get angry but that light in your basement the one that reminds me of serial killers and lie detectors it shined on you and the dust that rose from your dying flesh like feathers flying from a pillow fight when one person gets more out of it than everyone else. And how you believe in words like “initiation” and “rad” How you make me want to scream at the top of my lungs Because I’m alive And because you’ll let me.

I felt too punk to eat
I’m thinking about the way you jump over things And how you trip over guitar chords And get angry but that light in your basement the one that reminds me of serial killers and lie detectors it shined on you and the dust that rose from your dying flesh like feathers flying from a pillow fight when one person gets more out of it than everyone else. And how you believe in words like “initiation” and “rad” How you make me want to scream at the top of my lungs Because I’m alive And because you’ll let me.
