take a trip with me down the water-
slide to the left, slide to the right
don’t dive into the depend on me
to make up your mind
diamond eyes
i’ve decided i despise you
devil in disguise, jonny with a why
i don’t think i like you anymore
hypocrisy chord
a minor detail ignored
so effortlessly genius
changing seasons
return to the way you were before
chord chorus format masking
answers to what you’ve been asking
jesus unleash the reasons
i love you.

as if to think i thought i had enough time
s’been so long since i’ve seen the sky
this is my parting line: let me go
open up before that door is closed
as if to think i knew but i don’t know
wonder bread brain dead
trunk skunk funk punk
wide-eyed white guy
why do i keep on trying
i keep on trying to try
i even try to not try
no idea why
i even try
s’like there’s a sun inside my eyes
a magic marker under black light
a bloody peanut butter casket
squished up in a plastic baggie
on my lunch break belly aches
i clock in, zone out
close up, clock out
light up in front
of a fire truck
i’m plato’s play-doh
number three no mayo
i don’t know why-aye
i idealize you
i keep on trying to try not to
i even try to not try not to
no idea why i do
cos i keep on trying to try
to keep on trying to not try
to keep on trying to not try
i even try to not try
to keep on trying to not try
no idea why.

refrain
03:51
|

it’s exhausting simply existing
with people unable to be.
on the off-beat
is where i find my peace
in between breath
living alongside death
work in progress
no sense in rushing
it’s a process
oh, oh
legerdemain
no, no
one-word refrain
maltodextrin
oil of turpentine
got defensive over
somethin’ never mine
a phonetic checklist
a shallow alibi
bland and ambiguous
disguised in/sincere design
got nothing to say and
so many ways to say it
been trying to see
the commonality
between you and me
but all i could find with
these widened eyes
is i wanna die
oh, oh
legerdemain
no, no
one-word refrain

passive agression
isn’t a fair reaction
to implicit biases
my apologies
i show a tendency to
write people off if they
unwittingly assume of me
idiosyncrasystematically
he he he
he is not me
you’ve got the wrong guy
no, he is not i
i in disguise
only fulfilling a role
until the body dies
no need for me to be an asshole
i am not defined
by these imaginary boundaries
just dissatisfied
with this arbitrary binary machi-
he he he, no
she is not me
you’ve got the wrong guy
no, she is not i
i am. i am. i am.
i am, and that’s it.
(i’m having deja-deja vu
i feel like i’ve felt like i’ve
been here before)
i am. i am, and this
is as is as it gets.
(i’m having double-double vision
think i’ve thought that i have
seen this before)
done dancing around
what can’t be described
let’s see what we can do
with our newfound find
i am. i am. i am.
i am, and that’s it.

no more empty page
no longer a poser
georgia roars from the back porch
look up, there goes me
ascending
from branches reaching out
it doesn’t matter if you win
as long as you’ve got friends
so let them know
when you appreciate them
and may you mean it
when you say that you do
that reassurance might be
something they could use
to remain on the earth
when they can’t see their worth
when i can't see my worth.

who’s that head down
human in the hatchback
who’s that person on
the porch in pajamas
headphones in
dancin’ as if
no one is watchin’
it’s just me and my
cigarettes
oh just me and my
reminder to breathe.

bye

my mommy spent all of her money
on fixing my brain
you’d think i would stay
my daddy bet on my sobriety
like i could change
but it’s all the same
and so it goes
i don’t know
how i feel
what is real
so i should go
before i explode
all my semen inside my
last clean pair of underpants.

i'm coming to grips
with the fact that i'm full of shit
done running 'til i trip into
the cycle all over again
done washing my tongue with hand soap
so i don't smell like smoke
done facing my life like a joke
justifying lack of growth
do i stand out to you
do do do
if it's so simple
then why is it so difficult to be
if it's so easy
how come it seems impossible for me
no, not always but most days
i'm lost in a maze of thoughts
a constant obstacle of shame
if only i could turn it off
do i stand out to you
cos i try to
yes i do.
