Let's find places Where the fireflies would fill a whole field at night Then we'd eat pancakes and churros at 12 midnight Where we can spend our birthdays at a parking lot Then we'd never pay for the reserved slot Where we'd drink champagne while chilling in inflated pools And Halloween and Christmas can be our April Fools Where we can scream about our broken hearts Then an afterwards talk about scientific private parts Where we'd be heard at dawn laughing and singing Where we can just be ourselves without anyone judging

Let's find places
I crumpled up my hands in fists And talked about some silly things With voice raised up And eyebrows tensed I tried to make myself a man But all these things that I’ve done wrong Were little more than strikes on gongs The beating of my life on drums An angry chicken pecking cans And scattered up and down my head Lie tired thoughts in gutter beds All heaped up, clogging drain pipes The hotdog wrappers of my mind I’m crying now like rainless skies Like desert dust that’s learned to fly And all this cheese, these tacky thoughts Are just more trash that add to clot I’m crumbling now from over crowding An ancient temple that’s eroding Too many feet of passersby Aimless flocks of careless spies Look at me through my own eyes A tourist of myself am I
