freelancing

i don’t have much to do
except for kick back inside my mind
maybe i’d be happier
if i had a nine to five
freelancing is boring
but the day rate is better than hourly
bet my landlord would like me better
if i had a salary
tomorrow i should open up indeed.com
but today ima get stoned
see a movie
and go on a run
tonight ima get drunk
you can sue me
if you think i’m having too much fun
today ima microdose
go to prospect park
feed birds some bread
tonight ima stay up
write a song inside my head
i don’t have a job booked
i don’t have a class to go back to
i don’t have a community
i don’t have no goals to stick to
so the other day i realized
a simple fact that cut me like a knife
i don’t have a single plan
for the rest of my whole life
tomorrow i should learn to cook or call my ex or apply to grad school

wait !
honey - don’t you go :(
i barely got to know this much
yer meltin touch
that’s bringing me so close
and i’m wrecked :/
simple put, a mess
you fucked me in the head
i trip and fall in love but always snap my neck
i’m diving in
but washing up on shore
i’m flying out
but crashing down for sure
now the boy within me wants to flee
but the lover in me don’t
so who am i to you?
lil boy blue
instead
of telling me you love me
try telling me the truth
i’m just a broken record
and i can’t spin you loose
the best
was wrapped up in your bed
you’re back up in my head
and every time i close my eyes
i’m seeing red
i’m running in
but turning right around
i’m sneaking right up on ya
but making too much sound
now the boy within me wants to flee
but the lover in me don’t
so who am i to you?
lil boy blue
(well it's mostly right on top... i haven't been able to find it yet though. alright, peace!)

hooky

talk to me lightly
or don’t talk at all
some days i’m a loser
some days not at all
i want to be shallow
i want to be mean
i want to be cunning
or just desperately seen
so write me that letter
so i can get better
who am i to know?
i’m just playing hooky for show
just so you’ll love me some more
just so you’ll love me some more
i’ll put on my show
and i’ll know that you know
but if it means that you’ll love me some more
then i’m faking death by the morn
so bully me sideways
leave me on the line
i’d stand there and watch you
with laces untied (laser bolt eyes)
for you i’d go purple
keel over and die
cause my sickness is real
when you’re not by my side
so write me that note
i will if you won't

whole way through

i love that feel
when i take my meal
with salt that don’t heal
time rolls on different at the dinner table
the blue eyes staring down my face
sneak outside with your baggie open
and take me away
i love that girl
it’s true, i do
but i can’t find
a reason i should stay, i hear her telling me to
wipe those tears away, just like the melody do
you can follow me right home
but i’m still going in alone
ooo
if i could die now
i’d pick the way out
that keeps my mind turning the whole way thru
cause i am so scared
of missing any little part
of life

venmo money

split the fare again
money’s like a trap
you cut my hair again
fell into your lap
drawing on a buck
horns atop his head
you said it gave it luck
every time it’s spent
communication’s key
to being less alone
except if what you’re saying
is that you want to be alone
split the fare again
i sent an extra buck
can’t doodle venmo money
so i can’t give you good luck
