i've read my horoscope i read the news too i prefer the taste of words than what they tell me i should do it's a real horrorshow to know the awful truth think it's time to read a book once i read about you smelled the pages in my hands and wished the words were in the room i think it's time to read a book i feel stupid and kaput oh how useless and mature dreg of drink or the last word how alarming you think it's charming

seven-thirty in the morning wake you up and let the sun in cook you breakfast seven-thirty in the morning sit and talk about the summer to keep your dreams from ever going all of your plans seven-thirty in the morning you make my world, my everything

why are you so hyphy tell me why you like me if it's so surreal why does the dream wake up and bite me its not that i'm upset its just that i'm all sad what's the use in loving an obtuse, impaired, impulsive man cancel my plans to lay in bed too depressed to function friend i recite all the worst parts of me as if it's real i know you feel the same way pink lights on we were naked in your basement cherry soda and a pine candle took the hoopty to the lookout so i could get my hands on you and i did 'cause we were fogging up the glass blissed out, cars driving past i remember the smell, remember the taste, remember the songs on the radio how could i forget your face every thursday is purple in my head, it's dope as fuck you interrupt, i deconstruct your sentiment to paint the walls of my mind white to keep our restless limbs in flight and my heart beats slow when you're beside me

you always make me feel so very small, the way you talk i have to pay a cover charge, my other friends have guest list spots it's a shame, it's okay, there's no sense i can argue you'd say the same, there's no changing anything endless self promotion not like you were hoping? you pay for exposure and a chance to say who told ya if the world would notice the whims of your psychosis would you feel the need to swell yourself for serotonin? what an awful place you'd say the same, there's no changing anything i swear your name, there's no use in any change any way fall from grace
