Woah.
Hold on a moment.
I just told her
"I love you a fuckton more than a fuckton. Plus a whale made of Jell-o."
I'm not even sure what that means
Does anyone?
Probably not
Maybe they're just words, but they seemed to make sense
When I said them

Barry Manilow said he wrote the songs that made the whole world sing
And all I do is sit
And type
And listen to him sing
While I cry

Billy Joel told me that he just wanted someone that he could talk to
And I only listened
Didn't say anything of importance
Or anything at all
For that matter

Adam Duritz sang that he was the rain king
And I remember
Everytime I sit near a window
Or stand out in the street
When it rains

Ingrid Michaelson told me that she just wanted to be ok
And I knew that she'd be ok
If she was singing
And being her creative self
With me

I wanted to sing my compositions and act and dance
But the songs and words
Of my favourite artists
Seem like an unreachable
Plateau

Come on over,
I've got food!
It's alright if you
eat it all
I don't mind if you
want to watch tv
Just show me some sign
of you
not hating me

I'd draw you a picture
If my sketches weren't ****
I'd write you a poem
If the rhymes would just stick
I'd give you a hug
But you say mine are awkward
So here're books and a card
From Urban Outfitters
My bestfriend's birthday is two days from now and I wanted to get her a music box... But they all seemed too fiance-ish... And I had no back-up gift planned :/

******* tired of trying to be
                                        Atlas
I need to be me for a change

So I'm done
I quit
I will show emotion
**** that facade
**** always smiling

Because right now
I'm pouring the chocolate syrup
All over the floor
And I've gotta say
This
Feels
Great

LIESLIESLIES
I am the essence of
LIESLIESLIES
I make my memory through
LIESLIESLIES
I leave a legacy of
LIESLIESLIES
I give you nothing but
LIESLIESLIES**
A hypocrite and liar,
Once displayed
Is nothing more

You can trust the people
But not the devil inside them
And I know now
That he's there
In me

I say what I shouldn't
Forget what I shouldn't
Remember nothing
Of any sort
Of value

The devil inside me
Takes root
And I've shot all my resources
In the hand
That fed me
