thought of you as the wind
on the rocky shore
you can blow sand in my eyes
and i will only like you more
i felt my desperation take another turn
try to usher summer out of old new england
you’re never alone
i’m never in one place
i was looking at some kind of love and it looked me right in the face
it said, “are you alone”?
“do you just seem that way?”
i said, “it’s in my nature man although it changes day to day
and there are lots of things i’d like to say to you
existential things and simple platitudes
if you and i come from the same weird galaxy
then tell me why do we try hard to be like people we can’t be?

I Get It

i’m in the city knowing it hates me
looking for you in the corners
part of the weaving streets overlapping
from where I am to the water
knowing my luck i’ll go to the bars
and probably run into your brother
singing out on the weekend
where did I leave it
retrace the steps I charted
in june
I’ll wait
my friends are all out in space
At 6 am
Like not again
I see myself
And I get it
still reassembling
got all the pieces
lost track of all of my tools
all that I need is
staring at me I’m
mocked by the option to choose
cannot go back I
know what it’s like when
dying’s like skipping school
up at the brass cat
down at o’briens
swear that it won’t come true
so soon
I’ll wait
my friends are all out in space
At 6 am
Like not again
I see myself
And I hate it
I get it

Submarine

tonight i’m banging on the ceiling with a broomstick
in my head
tonight you’re staring out the window
because you can’t sleep
but you’ve been tired for weeks on end
the town is just the way i left it
except it’s quiet in the bars
these nights imagined and abandoned
on my own
on the steps in the memorial park
not going anywhere
i’m still a submarine
i thought of asking you to kill me
but you wouldn’t like the way that sounds
remember walking back from pedro
talking to strangers
singing “safety abounds”
some nights i tell you nothing’s changing
just to see if you agree
some nights i say i’m feeling centered
to hear you say it back to me
not going anywhere
i’m still a submarine
down here it’s not as bad as it seems

Early Release

facing something easy for someone else
healthy in most ways
sailing through rainy days
midnight or later
in the morning I’ll straighten it out
or crash through buildings
in a subconscious daydream
up and down the block
searching far and wide for new ways to dissolve
count the towers
dressed like trees
the wind chime’s atmospheric but it’s messing with my sleep
does time still heal if you waste it?
too easy you’re too wasted
climb it like a ladder
meet me in the future
pick me up
because I always loved
bailing on responsibilities
early release
up and down the block
searching far and wide for new ways to dissolve
a weekday off and cheap red wine
getting better but I lost all sense of time

Skip the Line

did you take off to give your time to a noble cause
or just to starve yourself and paper bag it on the orange line
did you lose yourself in the kitchen
are they robbing you of time
and do you think i’m right
should we cut our losses and skip the line
do you think i’m right
are the city lights all you need sometimes
does it wear you out
does it drag you down
to hold their hands while they watch you drown
i’m not too far to pull you out if you want it
do you still feel at all alive
sleeping through the daylight
they tell you cut it out
you gotta change your mind, get it back in line
you gotta stay with us
before you hurt yourself, you’re a wild child
do you still feel at all alive
you always seemed so alive
so ride it out
you live with your mind, you have a place in line
do you think i’m right
are the city lights all you need sometimes?
ohh show me what i wanna see
i could use an all nighter, i miss you talking over me
oh let’s tell em what they wanna hear
make a couple distractions and get yourself outta there
