Big Joke 02:28
i'm mad at me you're looking at the weight upon my hands bc this is all a big joke and i am not a good comedian better days i know they're gonna come and i'll be fine you saw me stub my big toe you saw me jump around and lose my mind medication...i'm taking them all wrong meditation...i could use some inspired by the sound i heard outside...i wanna know it's you some people aren't right...and i excepted it been wasted every night since i got here i haven't really slept at all been swimming in a pool, it's 11 at night if i could stay a little longer that would be tight spending money...selling CDs to the store ain't it funny?...i was laughing all alone inside my car but kept the windows up i'm bad when we're apart...so i'm looking at the dates i wanna get high...here in the melting pot i promise everything is alright i wanna know it's you

Packing 01:32
was packing up a year and month remembering the conversations a lot of junk and never-worns all stuffed in bins old bottles making several trips, trying to save some time reset and redecorate memories fade dusty room picking up the change, putting it in a bag coinstar you are my friend i said "hello" you said "give in" the drive home felt like a trap i wonder when i'll be back

Dependent 02:32
it's a crime i wanna lay on my back and drift for a while close my eyes and fall asleep with the windows open out of line i could never resist the urge to chime in i am learning every day i wanna do better shake me pull me out of binary i shouldn't care but i do it's unhealthy staring down at the screen i control the light that comes out i don't like it too bright unless i'm driving scary words we can mute them and never see them again what a strange concept when you really think about it face to face healthy relationships are great why did it take me so damn long to reciprocate maybe by the grace of god fuck it, i don't even have one to look up to it's a trend it's a phase please deactivate

Comic Strip 02:00
been looking at a sad, sad comic strip i'm thinking about a perfect internet one that doesn't make me want to die every time i open it dreaming of a painless world in red manufactured olive medicine we're high and we're appropriately dressed i'm feeling like a breath i'm feeling the second best i'm feeling like a mess i'm feeling like the rest
