if your world was someone else's could you imagine the size of their wallet if your world was someone else's could you imagine how deep their pockets so vast that guys is so huge he could drop a giant quill into a spill of milk if he wanted you dead he'd take you out with the garbage can so don't worry about your fiction life because everyone is no one to someone else burdened bug eyed I'll send you flowers I hope that helps

they say you've got a big brain I swear you use it just for evil thoughts they say you've got a big heart like I didn't know you back at the start when we were nothing but we were praying for an audience before I'd written those songs before you feigned my influence sixteen months to clear your head and make things right still you're laying in your bed eighteen hours a day and you don't know why how do you do it how do you make me feel bad for you so let me ask you a question are you staying true have you done half the cool things we promised at fifteen we'd do or did you gain too much traction did you grow up and then grow through my existence and our incubus tattoos you took me like a vitamin and redefined my past I didn't realize that I was dealing with a megalomaniac I waited for a certain shade of green but now I'm back to heed you a warning that this morning view has passed so let me ask you a question since you're not staying true and haven't done half the cool things we promised at fifteen we'd do since you gained too much traction since you grew up and then grew through do you hate me for getting my incubus tattoo I think we're better off acquaintances than counterparts

it dawned on me tonight while laying in my bed that I don't really think about you lately you've been replaced by this riff from my head and the awful things it makes me wanna do I know it's hard to believe cuz I was so caught up and I was so obsessed with you yeah you were my dream boy my straight crush from hell but this riff from my head helped me to get well now all the breakup songs on scratched CDs I bought magically play and I can go twenty-four hours plus without picturing your face I used to wanna ride my bike off a cliff death was immanent now I just wanna smash some shit a vast improvement

what if I told you things didn't sit right by me I wrote these words down in sanskrit circa 1601 BC harvest moon is a game that also happens when seasons change I had a long talk with Emily about how I want a family someday unraveling history's mysteries glossy blue eyes and short hair all silvery I met you once but it wasn't the right time yet I had just turned twenty and the thought of you made me sweat so I waited four years for you to come find me here but you never came and now I'm regretting sadly never whispering "daddy" into those bear ears I don't know why wish I knew why I'm realizing why I'll always be "that guy"

where do you go from love how do sign your name on the brick wall in failure's hall of fame there's no 401(k) at your mom's house just cheap champagne where you christen the couch your final resting place I'll never stop this sick obsession with my evil thoughts until I've done it all you start revisiting all your high school haunts wax nostalgic you haven't come far you hide in your car to avoid an old friend's mom reassessing your life where did I go wrong you develop a crush on the mailman you jerk off outside because you can I believe it's true that we should never meet our heroes and life's like a Monet just squint your eyes it gains six zeroes I'll never stop this sick obsession with my evil thoughts until I've done it all until I hit the wall until I finally fall
6.
I love a lot of people but I don't think about how much I love them until I think about living without them you staring at me I don't know where you stand in my head I just know where we stand in this room and maybe I love you

Lacquer 03:58
you weren't born in the summer so your hair was softer than mine and you were poised cool calm and collected you taught me not to worry about my fiction life and you were right but this was wrong and i knew it all along you can't wash away what's cast inside the plaster or underneath the lacquer cuz it's been engrained in me since I was just fifteen that most things go away after a good night's sleep but baby that's not true not with me and you I wasn't born in the winter that's why my hair is always dry and I'm not big on submission but I've got 20/20 vision that's how I caught you scoping out my thighs from across the room that's when I knew we were doomed now your pretty boy arms and your charm are fogging up all I do and I swore that I would finally move on from unrequited love songs but I was wrong what would you do with a guilty conscience and a new pair of shoes would you acknowledge a flea with an elephant's memory in the name of mysteries unsolved I bet you regret getting involved
8.
it's embarrassing the way you look at me with the cuts on my hand with the gap in my teeth and it's exhausting how I harp on these things I should probably move on but I'm busy and sometimes you just don't have the time do you ever think about the difference between your life as it stands and your memories or what's different between magenta and pink yeah they share the same hue but they're unique 10:04 PM low tide on the salt marsh again I know it's crass but the smell reminds me of you and riding bikes in the arboretum your vegetarian freedom and the way your hair faded how you liked every time
9.
Roadkill 00:59
how long do you stare at roadkill and how quickly do you turn the wheel how long 'til you hit the water how long 'til you kiss your father I'll barely sing I don't want to throw up now no not on the way down, down I'll barely sing yeah I'm no longer someone who speaks

baby boy trench knife are you free tonight mind the hex I'll do you right I'll buy you cigarettes I know you ache for me and I know how hard that can be but right now I'm in two minds I can't distinguish between the love I need and what's easy baby boy trench knife are you free tonight mind the hex I'll do you right buy you cigarettes and sprite I think the difference between our definitions for fatigue is evidence can't you see that you and I could never you and I would never be I just sought simple relief and saw your icon was green looking two miles away I won't regret it tomorrow cuz I'm already past it today
11.
I went to type your name in my phone well it's a goddamn shame but I don't recognize it anymore and honestly I'm relieved cuz I'm still the king of skirting all basic human needs I'm still the queen of watching the throne I should have left you where you were before my brain split in two I should have left you beyond the big stairs where you can fake it and no one cares beyond the big stairs I should have left you but that's not what I was supposed to do I learned my lesson it's true I learned my lesson with you you showed me what I would do cuz I told you once I was powerful showed you the real me I am unstoppable and when you finally came around it wasn't mutual I can't apologize for life at the top if you dropped a quill into a giant spill from the top of the stairs would you choose empathy or apathy
