lyrics

i used to play the part of mercutio
his soliliquy, what it means to me
for paper courtesy and the mentally
destructive tornado addiction to those
as my childhood remnants flew up someones nose
freed from a sleepwalk cell
and replaced it quickly with a private hell
scorching myself until I’m tired, lay inside
awake and wired, friends conspire
i’ve become a very good liar
the city's comfortable and flatter
arrested at the border of canada
but have i gotten even fatter?
am i man enough yet? sorry
sometimes i’d like to lift my hands
and throttle the man behind instagram
fervently wanting from many silver pilots
or was the color of your eyes deep deep violet?
you don’t know where i am
you don’t know who i’ve been
i put all my tears in a ziplock bag
carried away on the antlers of a stag
gardens and pools scenic and groovy
clapping during the credits of a movie
yes nature is beautiful i’ve heard that spiel
needing to step on legos to feel
logic comes undone eventually
its all so trite but really? seriously?
how am i to deal with this new sincerity
processes running more spherically
down down down down downtrodden in waves
unsheathing my body to flagellate
time speeding horrendously
i cannot cry myself to sleep
finding comfort in sloth and pride
vain in costume so divine
pleasures no longer unwind
and I’m running out of time
I’m running out of time
I’m running out of time
