happy new year from your dream boy drenched in sweat from your best friend barely bent to the person i thought that i knew best but barely knew at all from a vacant parking lot from a kitchen with bloodshot eyes to a new years night i won’t despise i won’t let myself despise i hope that new years kiss is perfect i hope you look just as goddamn gorgeous i hope he’s everything you’ve wanted because you sure deserve it yeah, you sure deserve it i hope that everything was worth this i hope you know that i felt worthless i’d write more words if you were worth it but you don’t deserve it no, you don’t deserve it here’s to stitching every seam here’s to removing you from my dreams here’s to forgetting you completely clean and discretely permanently.

i’ve got a steady job that i already can’t wait to quit feels like i’ve been eighteen forever, and i’m sick of it i just can’t bare to pretend that i’m where i want to be i need this year to end before it puts an end to me i will make myself at home wherever i go anywhere but here is a place that i’d love to know i am restless. i am tired of loafing. i’m ready and waiting for more i am fickle. i won’t settle for keeping my feet nailed to the floor i just can’t bare to pretend that i’m where i want to be i need this year to end before it puts an end to me i’m pathetic. i can’t keep a good thing to save my life i’ll never say what i mean. i’ll never get anything right.

a red door i’d known so well before a red door i’ll never open anymore these long late night drives seem much shorter and it’s time to put out this warm flame the strong winds have fled with the winter but i still shiver the same if not much more these days a red door i’d known so well before a red door i’ll never open anymore.

i keep to myself my lonesome self can’t open my mouth without crying for help i don’t say enough i say too much when it’s too late to speak when confronted with questions i lie through my teeth and i don’t know why i hate myself for doing so every time i sing in a band a one man band abandoned my friends for production and yet i don’t write enough i write too much about things that only make sense to me while musicians are touring the country with songs about things that matter like politics, dead friends, and all else above me while i whine because i’m lonely.

i spend my time thinking of what could have been i take my time analyzing every potential friend or love or best friend or all of the above and that’s not right that’s not what i want i spend my time pacing back and forth at night i take my time making sure everything’s right i waste my time hating myself for everything i should have said or should have done that would have saved me from losing anyone i spend my time letting my thoughts conquer me i take my time as i fuck up everything i waste my time.

i’m writing you to let you know my resolution’s “let you go” my resolution’s “let you go” i’m writing you to let you know my resolution’s “let you go” but i still have yet to let you go…

i pressed my fingers down to make sure every note rang out so that i would seem skilled enough to be worthy of talking about through recommendations not often ignored a cure for frustration in musical form oh, I wanna be so much more than I am now i kept my head down so no incorrect word could be said from my mouth i reach out to no one i need help from anyone but i am too weak and nervous of appearing weak and nervous i’m assurance unbound and i wanna be so much better than i am now.

a blank page. a worthless find. a crutch stored away. a friend left behind. i can’t keep pretending i don’t mind. i won’t keep pretending i don’t mind. i was a wishing well, then you fished every coin. i lived in this hell that you begged me to join. i’ve been kept in the darkness but now i can see the light, and it’s far too bright for me. a blank mind, a frame with no picture, a garden forgotten, obstructed, and withered, so i’d rather not sleep at night. no, i’d rather never go home because there i’m alone, a right that’s now wrong, a voice that echoes the same old song. it’s true, and it’s all because of you. yeah, it’s all because of you. yeah, it’s all because of you. yeah, it’s all because of…

me. overcome me. i have ruined everything as far as i can see. wait. don’t you dare wait. i am all but worth your time, and you cannot relate. try. you don’t have to try. you deserve and will have anyone you find. sleep. you should get to sleep. i have ruined everything that could be you and me.
