outer space 00:53
i've been thinkin bout hangin out with you you are the only one who doesn't wear a costume i've been thinkin bout spending time with you and i don't mind using public transportation and i don't mind going through penn station it's hell on earth, i'd rather drive but i can't so i won't so i won't start whining i am trying to battle my recent deficiency that i cannot convey all the beautiful things i see but whenever i see your face i don't feel so out of place you make me feel like i'm floating in outer space

i wanna leave this show i'm through with indie rock i'm through with those glasses i'm through with short-scale acoustic guitars i'm groping for reality i want to sleep at my house there's more integrity in 104.1 blaring loudly as my alarm the texture's fine, the sound is not i fucking love this place

broken boat 02:30
i was dreaming about a going away party with free cupcakes we walked up to the boy departing - your chin resting on my shoulder, and something running up my thigh i never thought of us like that, it's funny how sleep can impress those feelings but when i woke up i got started and i quickly screwed it up. i guess that's just how i'm used to it like the catamaran i built in sixth grade for regatta day, we are a boat poorly made it's something you can snap in two with silence and side-eyes, and i don't even care - i hated wood shop anyway so i don't want to hear about yr record, the production just bums me out. but if i'm being honest, i'm jealous that i'm not doing all of the things that i thought i would. so i guess i'll just go back to fishing the sky and steps and numbers and all of the songs that hit me harder than anything i've heard out of you lately. but don't go saying that you know about the place i live, 'cause you don't live here. you've been here once. and just because you like some bands it doesn't mean that you're connected. and that's coming from someone who, i'd venture to say, is not connected.

three folks 03:01
got on the train back home after seeing you yesterday i'm making it sound like it was something more than it was popped in those shot earbuds, yr voice ran thruuu my head it bounced around and here i am i'll never speak patterns of speech that i adore or adored and the faces are constantly passing through my head passed by yr exit, number six off 91 and thought of those weekends and all of yr skirts and freckled nose the touches and the kisses in parking lots around new haven i took for granted and i've been here alone patterns of speech that i adore or adored and the faces are constantly passing through my head the cuteness + the distance + the closeness, they make things hard i'm not gunna settle i'm not gunna settle but i'll get what i deserve feeling my phone vibrate with a request to see me more i wonder if you wanna do things different now that we're home a person who i know so well, mature enough to handle the things that i need, at least for now...

all my friends are pushing towards happy or have already gotten there and i feel myself moving towards that point for the first time in a year. well i am sweeping up those piles and i am looking in your eyes and i am not uncomfortable. steph and brian brain and devin are telling me to kiss you but everything weighs so much and you said that your arms weren't that strong. i just don't want to fuck this up so do you want to go that way? or do you want to go THAT way? i guess we just gotta kill some time

pictures did no justice. i'm buried in this shit food. little homie and his best friend are trying to get your attention and i place two fingers into my mouth and ask my pals if they've ever wanted to die (but i'm so afraid to die). so when i see you somewhere, i'll just wish i could fall asleep immediately. or i could shoot some liquid courage into my arms with my mechanical pencil syringe, then i'll write you an invitation back home. we're in the basement and our school mascots are there and we're singing along to a fight song for blind people who stop trying just like me. is that okay? because i think that i am more than what you sang.
