I think that I’ve found the reason
for why we are the best at bad goodbyes.
I am avoiding those feelings,
I’d much rather submit instead of fight back
against my devils and demons.
And I lack for my own solitude,
a bit self-righteous but I know
when it comes Autumn you’ll be leavin’.
I guess I better believe in
the ill-fated and the unfortunate.
For love perpetually ceases,
only imperfect if it fails to exist.
I’ve got this terrible feeling
that Desdemona should not put out her light.
Impermanence starts to creep in,
demanding more than you’d like to sacrifice for
a love that seems so infrequent.
Guess I wore my heart a bit too close
to my sleeve for some metaphor
that fed on some poor bastard she left weakened.
And I’ve still got this terrible feeling.

Grow broke!
Break growth!
I ain’t sure which hurts the most.
Your dead friends
or weak ends,
both gone before you could pen
this preemptive memoir
of hell’s greatest rockstars,
who’d stuck south of heaven
for much better, I reckon.
So, take care!
Care takes!
Care takes your foot up off the brakes.
So hold fast,
this won’t last.
Could you please pour one more glass
for the falsifiers
and counterfeiters,
who still made it farther
than most of us quitters.

I don’t dress up,
but I wear down
this doctored wall
of feared renown.
I get fucked up
to still the sound.
When I wake up
I wander through
this day to day
To get to you
I’m so fucked up,
you’re tried and true,
you’re tried and true.
You were my first thought but you shouldn’t be my last.
I’d hated everything but now I only hate this sense of self.
It’s not enough
to dote, to touch.
Aphrodite
left in a rush.
I must be dumb,
too dumb to trust,
too dumb to trust.
And I’ll keep this up,
until I lose
all of my friends
and family too
I’ll vanquish all so I can be,
some liquor-store celebrity
celebrity.
You were my first thought but you shouldn’t be my last.
Hell, I’d hated everything but now I only hate this sense of self.
