Cluttered sink Will never fail to push you over the brink Seven years left to survive Endless sighs of curling smoke sting your bleary eyes Pick the kids up at school in your beat up 4-wheel-drive It’s a quarter to five As the painting dries The details crystallize All your life Becoming steadily emulsified Bathroom stall A whispered conversation down the hall Did she ever even care at all It’s your call Powdered wigs Suits and ties and professional things Butterflies in your stomach, restless all your life Have been settling. As the painting dries The details crystallize All your life Becoming steadily emulsified As the painting dries The details have crystallized It’s a quarter past five And the light is feeling so sublime Yeah the light is feeling so sublime

Public pool swimmer Self-edify Climbing the ladder 30 feet high Ooh And I don’t feel separate from myself Suspended in the air between the water And where I stood And I don’t feel like anybody else In the subtle hum of becoming none Think through the motions A million times Impatient faces On down the line Ooh I don’t feel separate from myself Suspended in the air between the water And where I stood And I don’t feel like anybody else In the subtle hum of becoming none Become undone I never was Wander through the dunes The summer’s over soon Did it ever feel new? What can you do?

Slow drift out of view Wilted history for me and you Making breakfast on your own Prefab pleasures surround your home It’s no way to spend an afternoon But all I want to do Is be back next to you Reciting things we knew On and on and through Been a while Staring down those empty miles Undress sunsets from the roof And should I mind Wasting all my sentient time Watching flowers fail to bloom When all I want to do Is be back next to you Reciting things we knew On and on and through And it’s not clear to me If this is where I’m supposed to be Hung up on the mystery Wading through a rising sea Fell off my bike trying to sidle on Billy Joel song in the distance when I’m all alone Doing laps around the island, getting loud and bored Taking decades between decisions, future and foregone But all I want to do Is be back next to you Reciting things we knew On and on and through

A late night riser swaddled in unwashed sheets only inspired when calamity disturbs the dream Unshaken make belief that this spell can be sustained in casual digressions, residential depression a weaponized invisibility But there’s still still a long a long way way to go Thumbtacks in the ceiling cracks cold sweat is dripping down my spine Fresh hell by the wishing well I'm breaking kneecaps just to cut in line "Well good grief it’s a god damn relief I didn’t even really want to try” A bad defense for ambivalence don’t know the difference between dead and dying But there’s still still a long a long way way to go

Rising static ocean Assured what my worth is Distort my purpose Wondering what the score is Trying hard to be patient Don’t know where the days went Trace the cracks in the pavement Hide out in the basement Move backwards come chasing Go out for a cigarette Try not to have regrets Lie down in the deep grass Is the moment right, now? Am I empty of all of the things that I used to think about Is this my trophy, the sum of the things I couldn’t do without A living monument, the waves that carry the breath of day Away from the sun Away from the sun Tend to your backyard empire Apropos of nothing Are you still running? Appeal to the cosmic umpire Does it feel like living free? Don’t know what it meant to me Is it real what you’re making? Was it yours to be taking? Is a smile worth faking? What’s your motive to stick around? Did you lose yourself anyhow? Does it all seem different now?
