1
i left the tall, white hospital without waving goodbye
2
it was the one that i was born in
3
and it is where i will die
4
and my eyes went blind before they even saw the floor
5
and my father's closing yet another open back door
6
i left my dying mother in a waiting room
7
now i'm deploying my men
8
and i'm raising a glass
9
for pedaling tricycles (through)
10
scattering tylenol
11
elevated eye lids (while)
12
burying little kids
13
and now you're lying on the living room floor
14
with one hand on your chest and another against the door
15
and if the sound of traffic keeps you safe at night
16
what is it doing now?
17
your parents aren't always right
18
i thought a lot last night under a spit-stained comforter
19
about lying and deciding which road deserves to be died on
20
and i came to the decision that i just have to stop listening
21
and i want my ashes on a freeway between san fransisco and los angeles
22
i left the cafeteria with a noisy sigh
23
one that closes my eyes and makes room for my all my lies:
24
"i never thought i'd see so you happy
25
and your smile makes me a little bit angry"
26
it's been a long time
27
since the ceiling
28
at the top of my mind fell through
29
you're the last thing
30
i could say
31
to the officious funeral survey
32
they still tell me
33
how to behave
34
but it's sunday
35
and my window won't display
36
concrete evidence
37
that everything
38
is and always will be okay
39
and i might have to go to sleep
40
without brushing my teeth
41
without a mattress under me
42
without pity or humility
43
i know what i want in my life
44
and i know that it's not written on pages of textbooks
45
or printed on the sides of city buses
46
or left at my door every single morning
47
i've heard the squeaking of shopping carts late at night
48
below my window where the concrete never seems to die
49
and i'll lie and i'll lie and i will lie
50
just to bother you, old faithful de ja vous
51
and i'll spit up your sympathy into some kitchen sink
52
and i'll bury myself and i'll breath what i think
53
i won't believe you if you stand with your finger pointed at the sky
54
and i won't miss you, or ever think of you for the rest of my life
55
i was sweating with creatures underneath my skin
56
i was spitting them out just to breathe them back in
57
and they dont bother me so much anymore
58
yeah i'm used to it
59
i don't need help from the shelves of a convienient store
60
you know there's something to be said
61
to all the living and the dead
62
whether you're sleeping on couches
63
on the side of the street
64
or maybe rotting away
65
un der neath
66
but everything that's insane
67
will become mundane
68
now i'm lying dead under a tree
69
with a letter at my feet
70
and the sun sinking into me
71
though i didn't mind the heat
72
now there aren't any colors here
73
no, there aren't any colors here
