fed up 02:28
i might get fed up with being lonely some times but i'm never fed up with you i might be angry at our dumb mistakes but i'm never angry with you, darling our skeletons will one day turn to dust and we'll be remembered as the lovers who managed spend a life time smiling dumbly at each other our graves will most likely be side by side yours will have a lot more flowers than mine on your tombstone it'll read "here lies perfection; rest in piece" i might get fed up with being lonely some times but i'm never fed up with you i might be angry at our dumb mistakes but i'm never angry with you, darling the notes we wrote each other will decompose in trash heaps out side of giant cities along with every single instrument i'll buy ain't it such a pity? i'm terrified of being afraid and i'm tired of fucking dealing with it so i'm sorry if i ever seem mad at you just tell yourself "he really isn't" i might get fed up with being lonely some times but i'm never fed up with you i might be angry at our dumb mistakes but i'm never angry with you, darling i might get fed up with being lonely some times but i'm never fed up with you i might be angry at our dumb mistakes but i'm never angry with you, darling

moving away 05:44
when you're not astride me with your knuckles near my scalp, tufts of hair within your grips and speechless i ask myself, "why am i growing old within my head?" "why are days so gray when the fog rids itself from the windows?" unanswered questions are my chemical make-up all these softspoken mysteries will haunt me 'til the day i fucking die and drop dead in the street from a heart attack asking god, "why should i even believe in you?" so long as the word "away" is more likely a suffix than "across town" i shall remain constantly worried sick about you moving, you moving i didn't think that it was real 'til your mom made a joke about selling the house but now that i know it's more real that i'd have ever thought, i'm broken no amount of syllables forming beautiful meter no amount of expertly crafted syntax could ever truly demonstrate the way that you coax me into a state of absolute euphoric bliss and i will miss the way the fluorescent lights shine off your glasses and make my eyes shine twice as bright for you i will miss the way your hands would shake when they meet mine and how your face would glow when we locked eyes and i will miss the way the fluorescent lights shine off your glasses it truly always made you my lighthouse i'll miss little seattle and i'll miss the constants and every single little word that you spoke to me a million stupid love songs aren't gonna keep you here but there's a million things i'd do if i would only get to hear the angelic tone of voice you bring within the melodies you sing in person a couple more times before you disappear a million stupid love songs aren't gonna keep you here but there's a million things i'd do if i would only get to hear the angelic tone of voice you bring within the melodies you sing but fuck it, i guess i can't help it

i know that it is freezing but i think we have to walk i keep waving at the taxis they keep turning their lights off but julie knows a party at some actors west side loft supplies are endless in the evening by the morning theyll be gone when everything is lonely i can be my own best friend i get a coffee and the paper have my own conversations with the sidewalk and the pigeons and my window reflection the mask i polish in the evening by the morning looks like shit and i know you have a heavy heart i can feel it when we kiss so many men stronger than me have thrown their backs out trying to lift it but me im not a gamble you can count on me to split the love i sell you in the evening by the morning wont exist youre looking skinny like a model with your eyes all painted black you just keep going to the bathroom always say youll be right back well it takes one to know one kid i think youve got it bad but whats so easy in the evening by the morning is such a drag ive got a flask inside my pocket we can share it on the train if you promise to stay conscious i will try and do the same we might die from medication but we sure killed all the pain but what was normal in the evening by the morning seems insane and im not sure what the trouble was that started all of this the reasons all have run away but the feeling never did its not something i would recommend but it is one way to live cause what is simple in the moonlight by the morning never is whats so simple in the moonlight now is so complicated whats so simple in the moonlight so simple in the moonlight

we stared at the night sky and pondered infinity i thought of those evenings you spent sending hearts to me it was nearly nidnight and you were still standing next to me it perplexes me, oh it perplexes me how we stared at the night sky and thought of our universe the cloud cover sheathed the stars in exalted uniform i melted to the core, right in your arms it demented me for a century my heart was made from solid glass, you know but you turned it to sand, and rain, and snow and when they mingled in the undertow, i sat back let it go, 'cause you took me into luxury
