death and i
we are not friends
just acquaintances,
just passing acquaintances
and we pass in the hall
night to night
exchanging grim grins
and soft in the hall light
i remember
i owe him as much as
she knows me too well
and now it’s 4 in the morning
cause i love being by myself
trade keys
trade souls
trade languages you know
i know nothing anymore
that's what i prefer
when i walk out the door
i do not think i’m walking out the door
i just walk out yeah yeah
and we pass in the hall
night to night
exchanging grim grins
and soft in the hall light
i remember
i owe him as much as

definitions are dead, everything changes
everything’s dead, definitions changed them
definitions are dead, everything changes
everything’s dead, definitions changed them
lied about the meaning
lied about the feeling
you looking to get really high
and i looking to die really
took a few drugs, used to be very bored
the nights i died, the next day i was born
and now it’s a year
and now it’s three albums
i feel like nick drake
i feel like an older brother
like it wasn’t the living
so much as remembrance
and it wasn’t remembering
as much as just living
that lets me know now for sure
nothing keeps up with inflation here

I.
yeah
today woke up past noon
felt exactly like myself ten years ago
followed the sun through the window til 2:00
waiting for you to get home, trade places with the moon
i’ll escape to a sunlit plain off-stage, please wait
for me if you’re there first, death gives you wings
heard don’t throw away the urn my friend it’s special
plus two for one, it was a good deal, yeah
and them back there — is that not my friend?
and that feeling style, was that my religion?
feels so good to forget until it hurts worse
every soul a vessel holding frozen air or water
i took a tarot in my bag and somebody stole it
before i got a chance to read it i lived it
still wonder what might have happened
it’s one of those days
everything rhymes with suicide
i want to get high
II.
write lyrics like a painting
paint like it’s a poem in your phone
sing like you’re a place in a photo
sing like you’re a photo of a place you wanna go
i mean by now wouldn’t you
get bored of perfect dreams
and want some to surprise you?
yeah i bet that was the contract back there
oh we’re so fucked here yeah
can’t say i regret killin god though
it’s a painting

don’t understand how you can be
so many people at once
massaging the softer side of my skull
psychedelics psychedelics psychedelics
i owe you a lot, world, and most of it
is between nothing and nothingness
embracing the softer side of the world
embracing the softer side of the world
seance prank call experiment gone wrong
still wonder what gods i pissed off that year alone
i would recommend doing nothing if possible
here most of all i recommend doing nothing at all yeah
embracing the softer side of the world
embracing the softer side of the world
so easy to get caught up in the loops
so easy to unlock the next
thinkin about killing the master
thinkin about killing the master yeah
thinkin about killing the masters
thinkin about killing my masters

hollow vernaculars, spectacular, this country
made off the backs of so many young slaves
century of self, society of spectacle
you’re fuckin fired all the way down and through
so every breakdown
i call a breakthrough now
and we ain’t ever going back
and we ain’t ever going back, dear
we ain’t ever coming back here
it’s all ubi from now on, no iou — matter of fact
i paid my dues just being born here
now hell, 20 years after the fact
they want us to act right
i’m bout to start a riot
they want us to talk back
i sit back and stay quiet
waiting for them to sleep like
life’s a dream and not even
ever since revenge and beauty coexisted
you can choose to understand or not
the sheets of rain falling on our blinds
where never asked to stand still
for just this moment
we’ll barely remember
who all asked to stay behind
must’ve been a lot but
if you must have it your way fine, i
wait for the sleep to get tired and spark
