The Jolteon Aug 2016
The cars get a little nicer
The people get a little whiter
The faces get a little tighter
And I've lost all my friends
The Jolteon Aug 2016
Its hard to love someone
You dont respect
Especially with relationships built
On alcohol, drugs and ***

Its hard to not fight
With something that you regret
When all that you think of
Are things you cant take back
The Jolteon Aug 2016
These paths we create
Understood by some
To others
Fate

Lead us on roads we don't know
Forever guessing
Born
Glow

In the end I'll pick faith
In human kindness
Love
Grace

And forever turn my back
On the things
That bled
Me
The Jolteon Aug 2016
In all these steps that we take
We'll discover the mistakes that we make
Every single day that we walk
We learn new things from the people who talk

We all just hope to move on
Get over things that went wrong
Never look back
And move on forever ahead

At times I find myself blind
Not seeing friends family or lies
All collecting up the pieces of myself
That I've left behind

In the end I'll apologize
Tell every single person that I lied
And that I never meant
To hurt someone like you
Directly inspired by the song "Out of Range" by Brand New

Free healthcare is crazy
Free college education is crazy
Unions are crazy
High wages are crazy
Affordable housing is crazy

War is sane
Police shootings are sane
0% corporate tax rates are sane
Cutting social spending is sane
Toppling democratic regimes is sane

Welcome to hell
On earth
Where we bring hell
To earth
The Jolteon Jun 2016
I'm trying
I swear I'm trying
Not hard enough
But the best I can
These city streets
Are re-paved
All the friends
You've known
Gone
What does it feel like
To see your city
Your friends
Your family
Bought and sold
Under tourist banners
Ubers
Lyfts
AirBnBs
And city planners
I'll tell you a secret
If you promise to keep it safe
The city is bought and sold
Developers dictate the rate
The Jolteon Jun 2016
As my hand ran down her leg
She blushed and turned her face
So many times we've been here
But after a few too many bars
A few too many lies
We're strangers again
Blushing at the touch
Of one another
