To buy, to hold, to retain, to own To receive, to obtain, to keep, to take To grab, to steal, it's mine, it's all here To release, to give, to let go, to forgive To breathe, to exhale, to reach, to fail To lease, to lend, to pray to rent Pry loose your fingers, you're dead to us all You're faking histories and getting so long in the eyes I can see. It's a miraculous dream It's the feeling I can't get from any kind of disease It's a type of paranoia that lives in the blood, it's a little writhing worm that lives in all that I touch Fingertips to my palm with notes from the past that I forgot after I wrote them so I etched them again Please buy more :( The wheels are hungry for more :( so it can drive a bar between the frame and the door :D And look around to see that you live like a king in a single room apartment overlooking the sea and The Simpsons is on

I got you right where I want you create the night that I want to Form the image from clay and set the puppets to play in a box that I paint to look like a stage and the strings move all by themselves There are smiles in some pixels that I scroll by standing right by an ocean reflecting the sky An emoji or ten 📺🍄🚔🗣😢😠🍺👍🔥🔥 a polaroid of a bed, the top half of your head Nothing's ever looked as nice as the memories I invent Poking holes through the paper and particle board convince myself it's a life I can't afford Sweat, gas, matching tattoos It's so much easier to just talk shit in my room I got you right where I want you and I lie because I want to The four last things on my blog: A dead link to a song 💀🎼 some pedals I want 🎸💵 a lengthy post that I'm gone 👋📃 But all I see is a picture of us at 17 🧑‍🤝‍🧑📷.

"How's it feel to fall apart?" She asks and I look into the distance and try to seem deep by quoting a line from Ocean's Thirteen "The moment you become embarrassed of who you are... You lose yourself. You change for nothing." A truck with a Trump flag rolls by and asked why we were dressed like it's Halloween I screamed on the way home at the steering wheel trying to convince it that I was in the right It tilted its head back and forth it's so cute when it looks at me like that! The radio stuck between two stations each lyric drowning in its twin Stand in the street and scream and windows light up from a dream Watch the shadows search for me And if the last song is about you, I don't care

Forever's too cute a word for all the time I know that I won't exist on this Earth Disintegrating right before my eyes becoming MOBO tapestries in a webcam's leer top right "Telluride" by Tim McGraw can't believe the light we see is a chemical at all When I have a gun, a human one, full of napalm, steam, and fire And the air we breathe is just gasoline, please think of me once in a while It's not the same

Take the picture from the stage while everyone smiles and waves I saw you on my Discover Page! Recognize you from your face and the rayban classic shades that hang from your neck and slowly sway while the locals take the drums away Sing the songs they've grown to hate, eight 3 minute weights to play and groan We place the light in those we own, hold the smoke, relapse and drink Do a bad impression of me Start a podcast called "TRYNOT2THINK" Release 4 episodes a week spam my friends the RSS link Can't fall asleep without imagining a great wave washing me 1:25 AM ... ANXIETY TIME AGAIN!! Think of all the things I wish and what I'd say to a therapist "I have a screamo band, I guess! That I use to throw my fits is it more pathetic than to face that I exist?" "You carry a lot, I can tell Talk to the person at the front for the bill" THE SILENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know everything about them, I know that they're green They chew on helium based cubes and they don't sleep Once they see that I'm the smartest one I'll grab a couple Rolling Rocks and beam on up I know the day, it's June 12th I interpreted radio signals to figure it out because they whisper through the static just to me I just never told you about it because you don't believe Do you wanna talk about the stars that they'll name after me? Once the mothership comes down and wipes everything clean? And everyone who ignored all my songs is frozen in a cube and carried off? Well I know back then that you had your reasons but I don't care about that anymore because I forgot English Just like how you forgot the way you said that Captain Jazz was a stupid name So I reach for the moon, but the door opens up into a smaller room

August, all the leaves dry from the smoke You dig a circle in the ground said it's the foundation of your home We lay down easy We laid down both our arms and prayed the summer wouldn't end then crashed each other's cars Just drive And we'll close both of our eyes then the road will take us there I swear If it won't, it will some other night I saw some sand, but I can't stop Am I cold or am I hot? My palms are sweating through the steering wheel and it's the last one I've got Is it better than it was? Is it cleaner? Is it nicer? Is it a tower in the woods? Is it a distant memory all the times I made you scream? Do you ever log back into ICQ to read the logs of poetry? I can't see the lines so I make them up Maneuver between the gate Check the cassette player press the wrong button twice to get the Defiance, Ohio tape Feeling my hand around the passenger seat stained from the clothes we hid in the couch But it's not There's nothing there That was years and years ago now. It'll never be good like it was Because it's dirty, it's haunted It's a cabin in the woods It's a constant fucking memory All the life you wanted and got And I pore through every line to find the moment it started to rot and its all my fault

All I want is to lay in the dark and play zelda rando in my mind and be drunk forever and never see the things you do If I had a spine, I'd melt my forearm into a blade, and cut into whatever it is in my head that thinks of you and slide away. I been slidin' like a thief, move in silence, I'm a creep RADIO to my head, god damn I'm goin deep from the pines Got gold behind my teeth lo-fi sc-fi guy all on the beat See the palms on the beach, put your palm up and reach Break the binds that you see, find what you can be This is a reminder to me, don't let the days fly past Don't get stuck in the past, build something to last Find something at last, try to make it better You can always make shit worse Breakin' down the measures, you can put it in a verse Gotta stay fresh til they put me in a hearse Please put me in the dirt In the mountains buried with the trees A little bit of freedom blowin' in the breeze Everytime I breathe I'll take some with me But a mortal man that's all I can be Feel so clean like a money machine Printin' cash coverin' Mom Jeans Farm engagement postin' Family Guy memes And force my way into the scene Act 21 when I'm actually 33 Make every conversation about me End every tweet with a Patreon link Put the second verse behind a paywall see Yeezy, Nike, Supreme, still hot to the hype beast Off white, Birkin, Telfar wait fuck nevermind Dad, I've got some questions One, what tuning do you play in?

You will be sick for the rest of your life The pain, I promise, will never go away You're going to wake up over and over again, and your bones will ache, and your heart won't beat right There will be bends and snaps in your skin, writing out all your life in third grade cursive And your hands will get sore just by forming a fist and you'll stare at the ceiling and only exist And you will never get better, you will always be sick And we'll lay down forever and chew on our lips Pictures turn to blurs, three dots dancing Everything you hear, new lofi black metal EPs It's Huey Lewis Syndrome, watching Moulin Rouge twice, thinking the same two thoughts every fucking night Staring out the window, hoping someone knocks at the screen Scratch at the arm rest and pray for a disease

Second placers willing for guilt and a sign that it's live and it's staring at me WELCOME HOME ! :D Force fed guitar pedal memes at gun point and if you don't laugh you will look at another and another and another HIMS brings mental health and wellness treatment about all the good times you had at the house venue when this felt new and exciting There was cigarette smoke in the space between her teeth when you looked up from writing It was true and inviting It was home It was layers of blankets on the couch in a golden tiled room that you owned and I'd kill anything to bring it back Just for one more night staring at the stars and wishing you'd peek back Wyoming bound I lost my wallet, and I stared at what was left of my phone just hoping that you would call it An empty can up in the ceiling, spiders laying eggs in my bed, and it's just hard to shake the feeling

I'm in Idaho and I'm screaming Could Be Better Forever, 1994! is jumping across a firepit, and I'm trying so hard I'm trying so fucking hard to be the cool emo revival guy Did it ever change? John Galm still doesn't follow me on twitter I'm the exact same I'm 17 and I smell bad and I can't get drunk without crying and I fit in the palm of your hand Hiding, sneaking, erase my own name, put miles and miles between the windows I break All in on black, the humors level out The bile makes a face and ol' Dougie rises out But if you trace and you trace, you will see the lines

10 tapes, 50 tapes, 100 tapes, zoomers only listen to the singles anyway 15 minutes, 10 gigs, 20 kids, explain to my boss why I missed a week for this Spent all the gas money on preorders for split 7"s and novelty tshirts that wear out in the rain A blue light melts Will Toledo's face, I'm in the crowd, to the side in the shade I used to hate this kid, because I used to think that Matador Records would come to my door and sweep me off of my feet Everyone's swaying, and all I can see is me on the side of the highway with a paper bag full of CDs It was my first album, I was so proud and so young I had no idea the pain and the hate of what time can simply become
