it was pissing rain on my birthday
and i was sliding, up the sidewalk
like a fool in slippery sandals
because i never dress, for the weather
and now these scientists
are lying
about spiders making friends
and all the balloons that you blew up
were just a means to an end
and everyone’s selling something
so damn self obsessed
so many hurdles for you to get over,
yourself
chewing gum might grow your eyebrows in these parts
and i’ll do a bad job
‘cause it’s not my business
whoever you’re kissing and you’re wishing with
now i got these bugs in my lungs
and that’s just the least of my problems
if you wanna start back at square one
i’d have plenty more to say but i really have to run
when it’s a pathetic use of your energy
to pour yourself into things perpetually empty
so i won’t reinvent the wheel
just to tell you how i feel
but you should know, there’s no center of the universe
chewing gum might grow your eyebrows in these parts
theres a lot to stir up, and spit out
and i know that you’re thinking
you had lots to lose
but i got news for you, hunny
yeah i got news for you hunny
there’s no center of the universe

i’m like the sand on the beach
silhouette of solid body molded underneath
where you once lay your head
contented
under the sun, but for a day
impressionable skin
yielded at your weight
i’m like the sand on the beach
i retain the last stampede
grains now scattered in the breeze,
in time blurring, depth and detail
but time, it still failed
to wash away my pain
underneath we remain
untouched by the elements
your gravity
still holds its shape in me
but i, am like the sand on the beach
burning hot
and i know i still scald
the soles of your feet
when i feel you
walking all over me

i’ll never forget that look in your eye
not until the day that i die
like a lost dog or a wounded deer
how could i tell you, there was ringing in my ears?
when you lifted your chin
to the cathedral sky
i wanted to drown
but i couldn’t even cry
stretching high, overhead
something was wrong
tell me
were you looking for something that might resemble me?
holdin’ it in your lap, you know me so well
and something similar
is well within your grasp
way down here
you could conjure up a love story
tender tender touch
buying dinner to fill me up
with the lack
of your love

i’m gonna need some credentials
before i take you home with me
i know you’re only gonna leave
and i don’t really care
it’s not like you can prove you’re loving
when you’re not even there
i’m not a token girl but when i take you home with me
you’ll see how the cracks, start showing
and all, that i ask
is please
pack me up in bubble wrap
stretch my heartstrings till they snap
pack me up in bubble wrap
stretch my heartstrings till they snap
you can,
take me out
fuck me up
break my heart
bless my luck
i’m a shooting star that won’t shoot far
i’m the one whose never enough

take your time
take all the time that you need
pay no mind to the fortress that’s
crumbling at our feet
take your fucking time
it’s only our fortress crumbling
‘from now on’
it’s just a placeholder
placator
biding time to the next disaster
tiding us over
to the next tipping point
well let’s get there faster
i’ll put this fortress up in flames
unless we can master
the things we do
that we can’t explain

spin cycles
of death, debt, celebration
sorrow breeds stagnation
and i’m so fucking tired
i’m so fucking tired
i’m gonna light myself on fire
i can’t do it all again
i won’t do it all again
here we go again
i’m doing it all again
candles burnt out at both ends
my skin and innards depleted
the good fortune that your mother sent
got lost and then deleted
i can’t do it all again
no i won’t do it all again
here we go again
i’m doing it all again
