Is it biological, or something you picked up/ Can you spare your
armour to protect from loss of time that you threw away/ To
nothing in particular/ It’s gone/ You find yourself on the mend
without the chemicals/ It’s easier said than done to check in on
yourself/ This time you feel ok/ Can you continue to be this way?

What’s another four letter word for enervated? And where’s it all
go? How do we remedy the situation from here? When did I
lose all of my short term comprehension and require a list to
remember anything at all? When patience runs thin and you
have a hard time accepting help, you gotta wait, and you can
admit that’s not your strongest trait/So pot meet kettle we’ve
both been set on a rapid boil/ I’m burning out/Do we even know
what’s happening? Can you slow your pounding heart and
adjust your ridged posture? So maybe you can actually hold
eye contact with somebody you don’t already know so well.
How did we end up here? Can somebody tell me where we’re
going? Is there a way to disappear without anybody else
knowing?

When I come home from outside where did you go? I find you
lying on my bed covered in cobwebs from head to toe/ And
that’s not really ideal, I know you don’t agree/ I’d rather not be
sleeping with spiders all over me/ Makes it hard to dream/ You
knocked down Matryoshka out of the window in pieces on the
floor/ It seems she’s really not put back together all that well
anymore/ But what’s that even matter to you as your lying next
to me? Taking up all of my personal space and biting me if I try
to leave

As you run your fingers through your hair, you’re shaking out the
sand you dragged up the stairs and in to your bed/ The sheets
from 1968/ Who remembers the Atlanta flames? Forgotten teams for families to celebrate/ Olfactory memories of seasonal
habitation/ Overflowing spaces/ No you can’t be two places at
once/ You remind me of the ocean/ The place where I belong
Temporarily sedentary/ It’s a slower paced erosion on a different
type of sand/ Hyponatremia, this brittle bohemia is the place
where you fell out of love and started diggin’ on yourself/ Pulled
apart with indecision, you‘re just making the best of it for now/
Overflowing spaces/ No you can’t be two places at once/ You
remind me of devotion/ Where I’ve been all along

Never wanted it to end this way again/ I thought I could do it
better/ Now the place has cracked in two/ We’re trapped like
this together/ While the ceiling falls/ Water finds a way/ So the
boats won’t sail/ Took the long way home again/ Or maybe not
at all/ One or two won’t hurt/ But surely in accumulation/ While
the ceiling falls/ Water finds a way/ So the boats won’t sail/ Only
wish we could realize we’re not only hurting ourselves/ Can’t pull the wool over everyone’s eyes, they’re only trying to help/ One day at a time/ Always knew we’d get back here again/ The light is fading from the tunnel/ Falling from the sky, a blessing in disguise

Purple socks from a Newhaven woman/ I thought they were stretched, my girl said it’s a frill/ New friends that I met from the road/ Remind me of old friends I met long ago/ A hand-stitched screen printed cd-r changed my whole outlook on music and community/ I Try to keep it close but they’re gone/ When you feel like you don’t have a right to be sad because you never kept in touch/ Like the inspiration and memories left behind somehow were never quite enough/ Like some god damn gatekeeper to my grieving/ I wonder how much I’ve left behind of things I’ve picked up along the way/ So I’d like to borrow something from you I know that you wouldn’t mind for me to say/ *Lately I’ve got issues with myself that should settle/ Some hand me downs that folks were given when they were my age/ My lack of confidence is balanced by my ego/ That’s only because we only talk when I’m in revolt
