It's not a experience
unless it's a bad experience
“well I experience this (she said)
completely”
Break lights
Works at night
Four door, and a black hole, and I thank you for it
Head lights
Four wheel drive
Four doors, and a black hole, and a V6 engine

All of my new friends
Look good in a weird way
Well that'd be a good way
For humans to look too
Look around, look around you
It's all around, all around you
In attics and basements and I don't how you could be upset about it
Won't but I want to, really want to know
Won't but I'd love to, I want to tell you
Won't but I want to, I'd really like to show
Won't but I want to tell you off in a lovely room
But you won't
Won't really want to
And I don't really want to talk about it
And you know
I don't really show
Conspicuous, glistening emotion
Let go
(Ellen, I love you)

All of my new friends look good in a weird way
I slept under an attic where my friends sang about
Carrying mattresses over bridges
Their pasts looking like mosaic tile
Seeds growing inside of them
Just to make sure their organs were working
The best days of their entire lives
And we shared separate ends of the same moment
All of new my friends look good in a weird way
My old friends ask why I spend so much in broken houses that should be vacant
And I tell them that our skeletons align
The lungs hidden under floorboards are full
The heart never stops beating
The heart never stops beating

I'm Not Depressed

I tell myself, I'm not depressed
Fairly often for a guy
who's really not depressed
It's all I've got, it's all I can do
To stay myself
So, I'll go...
I spent the whole summer
Destroying myself in North Oakland
Come back now
Major bummer
Hanging around without you
I spent the whole day making the time pass
I stayed up all night I didn't sleep at all
I rode my bike to south side to see her
I hate the south side (so I must have loved her)
I drove to Pittsburgh in 2013
I was enticed by the music and arts scene
I spent a year unsettled at college
All of my friends afraid to go outside
Then I met you in the strangest way possible
You knew everyone I ever wanted to...
know personalities oh so beautiful
I learned that I was not so unlike you folks
Now I spend my time hanging at your house
I want so badly to know what you're about
Come on let's go find something to go do
“I'd love to! I'd love to!”
I want to be with you

When I
Heard what you had said to me
(I was shocked, disheartened, but understanding)
Because we all can't make it alone I know we all just want to be dead
And we can sit on opposite sides of the bus, pretend we don't see each other
Or I could love you just like a brother
Though you were born in '83
And you can't get a grasp in 2016
Matthew
Can you tell me honestly
of your stability?
Because you seem fine to me
(But what do I know)
