sterling silver ring brought to bending
resting retired, porcelain vanity
left behind forgotten - coat pocket that you borrowed from me.
cloth patch half-stitched up to a pastel yellow hat i never wear
you are catching up, step forward just to take a couple back
can't say i'm doing much more living temporary
guess it's kinda my thing
while you are still hand crafting extremes
see you passing through the place i live now, just hanging out
i don't blame you dodging me, i probably came off pretty mean
but since i missed you, here's what's new with me
best i can do to keep things short and sweet
bad habits keep colouring in outlines of my good ideas
i'm still jumping sharks and smoking guns
not much has changed if i'm being real
not even sure what i'm mad about
probably just taking it out on you
guess i thought we were tripping up
two feet in time and i miss you
suppose we catch up on just how i've been explaining away
each other's brand of escaping the same thing
i got no room to call you out if nothing i do is working.

Is it worth it?
I'm convinced
All for the service
But I'm all out of ways
To get you back to my place
And it's the way you play
I can't follow
And I'm all out of space
No room to grow
Don't sweat you'll do fine
But I won't be there
When the hard part's over and
I think way too much about it
But I just might be high and
You get way too damn upset about shit
While I'm just trying to move forward
I can't lie about what's on my mind
Is it too much for me to ask for
A better way to leave
Cause I'm not going through the hassle
Just out of courtesy
And I'll keep it to myself completely
When I do something wrong
I'll deal with the consequences
When the high is gone
I know how you're with money
But I like wasting time
Cause it gets
Much higher in demand with no supply
But I find
It harder to stay focused on
What you're saying
And If I don't have the time will you get by?
Cause it seems like you're bored
And I'm all but entertaining
Ignore the cons along the way
Cause honestly as shitty as it sounds I'm willing
And if you want to go then I'll wait
Well it's good to know you weren't trying to stay
Cause I'm out of words to ease the awkward
But it couldn't be our fault if no one's there to admit it
It's nothing too scary
I hope you watch till the end

i'm being someone I like now
i figured maybe i'd try something new out
only problem is that you keep showing up
and i am god damn sure it don't help at all
it's for good reason that no one's kept in touch
i honestly had already forgotten
how tirelessly tiring all of this had become
don't come out of the blue now that it's done
satellite mediation, and who's fault they get hit
and are sent spiraling down to your level?
i am ever-ending work without your help
please keep yourself to yourself
you knew that this would happen
about-face on your plan
confrontation's daunting -
yeah, believe me - i'm your man
pitch your plan b
thinking i don't quite know what the fuck
matter of fact, please tell me
what the point of all this was
i'm being someone i like now
and it's something i think you should try out
you might end up enjoying yourself sick
i know it sure as hell beats this
just stop the operation
the covert tactic schtick
i'm doing fine, you should do fine
and that should be it

Try not to leave out all the details
Cause I don't seem to remember
It won't take long till I bail
Just fight the sleep
Cause it takes time to see that I
Can't outgrow my habits
And I'm not sure when I'd see your perspective
Or you'd end up
Keep it to yourself
Cause no one gives a shit about what you think
I'm sure you'll find the help
But I'm not quite qualified to fake it
I couldn't tell you, when or why
But thats not the issue
I can't stand the way I feel when I try way too hard
Just like the nails holding my cabinets
Don't put me on my side, I'd rather you let me choke
It's hard to enjoy the ride when you just cant let shit go
What's the point of shifting standards
If we can't find a common ground
I'll match the pay and put in minimum effort
We're at a point where I'm just bringing you down
It's just motivation, don't be upset
Cause no one's asking and I'll forget
I'll paint a picture to be clearer
Sometimes I'd wish you'd do the same
I'm always somewhere in the middle
But I'll find a reason to complain
For once I hope you get the message
I hope you hear it in my tone
Instead of reading out the notes

can't help thinking to myself,
"can't you take this somewhere else?"
there's just no space
or time and place, we're trying hard
to squeeze in the breathing room you've graced.
it costs more than the bottom line
to take home what we've paid
stop mistaking this
for something you can fake
so long you took to make us wait
it's becoming a crime scene, punk-pristine
see shit-clique dramatic royalty
are saving empty seats
i'm trying to see through the smoke you blow
how much i owe ya for my own show
i didn't know we were running up a toll
come i can't even hope to count on you
packing up too slow, but hey,
thanks for the intro
i kinda already knew these folks
so you can do-it-yourself
make friends you hate
with somebody else
or else
get out
no reservations
first come, first serve
no generator fundraiser cut, you heard?
call off all proud assumptions
shoot on sight party bills
know everybody's talking
know everybody's ill
you've got your headline
you've had your fill
we've got citations
we foot the bill

I don't know how many times I've wasted my patience
On what's unimportant in hopes that we get along
I'll talk all the shit I want, you won't hear it
And piece by piece you tear me apart
I can't keep up with where you're going
It's clearly showing
And soon you're gone
We're always wanting more
But I sure could use the time
We've been through this before
But it's better when it's hard to find
I can't help thinking about the reasons
You should be leaving
I've got a lot to do
Just not with you
I'll make the worst excuses
To why I'm so reclusive
I'd rather stay inside
Than deal with your shit all night
It's obvious that we're not the same
If things don't work out
Guess we can't complain
We'll pretend it's progress
I never could keep track of all the names
Maybe it's me
I guess there's a lesson
Four pounds of peas
Can't beat great digestion
I'd rather we keep the visitations to a minimum
My lungs are shot from all the chops
Inside my system
But I still can't help feeling out of place
Makes for an interesting story
And I've tried quitting a thousand ways
But I can't get past the morning
Where do we go from here?
Aren't you tired of waiting around for the rich to die?
I miss the warmth
But the people are shitty
I hope that you leave cause you'll do just fine
Pardon the way I articulate my words
It's such a shame when people start changing
And I'm not prepared for the worst
Only take what you need
Seems fair but I'm going nowhere
T first, so you don't waste the greens
Way too domed I can't comprehend all the feelings

Don't fall asleep
Or at least wait till it's dark out
Hard to leave
But I'm just tired
Mis-happenings
Are worse this time around
And I guess I didn't notice until now
To mean it
Is more than it's worth
To process is progress
This feeling is well undeserved
It'd make sense to think less
Considering how many times
I've crossed this bridge
You'd think I'd learn
I bet that betting is useless
And I'm not one to make things work
But it could be worse
Cause it takes
Two to start a conflict
And you've won it
I'm pretty sure I'll manage
No need to rub it in
Well half the time it doesn't seem to
Go the way I planned I understand
If it becomes an issue
But don't expect a change
Cause I've got all this time to forget
Why you tried and I left
But I'll get over it
In case I couldn't tell why you're upset
Please try to make it clearer
I'll miss the point or just forget
Why I'm supposed to care
Cause I can't pretend like it's not so bad
I'll take a hard pass
And leave it alone

how did i end up back here?
it seems i'm awake for days on end
and nothing i heard helps to mend it
say you feel worn out
i feel everything at once
you and i are always catching up
talk to me when i've caught a break
can't have my weeks be waterwheels
just runnin through the same
in cycles all our features fade away
i cannot summon
what i think it takes to stay ahead
come home with something new to process
it ends up instead
piled up atop my list of topics
that i take to bed
talk to me, tell me something
that'll clear space in my head
plead my case again
i see you everyday
often over everything
i feel so far away
step back and see i'm only acting
let plans i make time out from stalling
have daydreams last months
and then forget to wake up
i don't know what goes wrong
contradict catatonic behaviour
with honest-to-goodness intentions to move
step by step i am following footprints
i made yesterday down to the groove
well, don't i know
not to preach what i won't own?
soon, i know, i'll reap what i've sown
but nothing grows
