Cleaning Up

You look good in a uniform
You clean up nicely now don’t you?
I’ve always loved to talk to the weather
I’ve always lost my way
Last call for a round trip to the hospital
And maybe even all the way back home
And for the eight hours in the ER I’ll pretend I know
Am I too enthusiastic about the things that you love?
God damn it I really should have just written poems
Who starts a round of applause
Or a brand-new conga line
They really need a medal of honor
I’ve been taken
For everything but granted
And nonsense really is the last true horror
And I’m too enthusiastic about the things that you love?
God damn it I really should have just written poems
He’s more a sit down event than a stand up kind of guy
But it would be nice if he could at least try

I don’t want to be a movie
I just want to be good and have it all laid out
Self referential meta commentary layers in my head
It makes it hard to be made out
She’s talking to somebody but I don’t know who
Their figure is obscured by the statue
And everyone is telling me to cut it out but I don’t think I want to
But i’ve been freaking out
Cause you’ve been freaking out
i’ve been freaking out and i can’t get off the couch
Jesus doesn’t want him and neither does the scene
And it makes it hard to make sense
And when the dogs bark at me and I can’t function for an hour I can try not to hate it
But I’ve been sitting underwater waiting for my cue
And I don’t want to say this
But being on the other side of the same good old fence makes it hard for me to do it
But I want it anyway
I’m done with this I’ll say
But I’m really really really sorry
I keep saying things I don’t mean
If sad songs make me love you more
Guess I should listen to more sad songs
If sad songs make me love you more
Guess I should listen to more sad songs

A Shame

i can’t play guitar as fast as i used to
and you can’t keep up with the bass or the treble
and all of my friends probably think i’m a freak
i don’t know anyone standing beside me
i’m tired and you’re lost
and this is all my fault
you’re holding back tears and i’m trying to speak but i know in my heart it’s been them not me
but i should still take the blame
i should still feel ashamed
“for trying to be yourself?
for opening the door and daring to yell?”
yes it’s me i know
i’m the one on show
and i still feel on display even when nobody calls my name
