you look at her once and you'll know completely she is the way that you thought she'd be something like clarity that I seek out to look in the mirror and cease to be to live in the saying that lasts your whole life or maybe in waiting to kill this dream sometimes so scary that we just freak out to look in the mirror and not see anything at all forget you are human for just a minute forget you not ethereal like a miracle, like a miracle, like miracle see me so boldly with eyes just weeping? (so you can) see what I'm like when I'm fast asleep? restfully lifeless or reckless leaping see when I'm moving so slow or can't see anything at all forget you are human for just a minute forget you are not ethereal broken, cynical lost and fearing-all dark in the hall like a miracle, like a miracle no suicide can bring you dying so hard as you'd find just by being alive

Written in Mannheim, Germany, summer of 2012. A song about listlessness.

“How many layers of detachment can I have before I stop being alive? How much longer can I keep spinning my wheels without knowing how to drive? For all intents and purposes I’m too entrenched and purposeless Another day spent on the couch with nothing to drink but the blood in my mouth It just repeats each day of the week A constant feed in the absence of sleep Shallow rewards that I justify By the minimal amount of mental exercise Order in, buckle down, hit refresh you millennial fuck Brag about every word that you’ve read, you know it never is enough All I do is reiterate, reblog, and masturbate For all intents and purposes I’m too intense and purposeless Another day spent on the couch with nothing to drink but the blood in my mouth”

Four o’clock the waiting ends, F connecting to the M Waiting for a text to send, “are you finished with your mom?” Four o’clock the waiting ends, J connecting from the M Myrtle-Broadway once again, rising with the sun Sweet soft city light, always sad in summer time Sleeping off too many drinks, lying on the ground But he will never rise again, smiling to greet his friends And he will never turn around or come this way again
