lyrics

Sleeping in ribbons
Gossip in graze
Similar adherence
To Korine and Pt 2 of Vowels
If you call me from the Amtrak
I’ll know it’s fucking around

If there’s laughter in the background
I will know who is the clown
Or who the clown is
If we’re being constructive
Like a proclivity for bolding
Titles, it’s scolding me now

Or CD-Rs wrapped in Kleenex
Lost somewhere on MySpace
Romanticizing a place
Where we conversed more
But we never had the distaste
Just something greater swarmed
As the gold pillars remained blank
Separately but quietly we drank

And after all the years
We’re both still around
We’re both still in town

Always disjointed
My hands are disappointed

You can dress it up
However you like
I stayed away from the Sparrow
And open mics
For fear of a sense of friendship
The burden of my insolence

Just my nature to disappear
And bury myself
In words and noise
No one will ever hear
I feel like I’m so much older now
I know I must be older now

I felt something slip away last year
I thought of you when I was drunk
From New York hotel room
I’m not sure what floor I was on
You understood my calms
Jealousy overslept
At Jimmy’s Corner an actor
Mistook me for a stagehand

Always disjointed
My hands are disappointed

When you played the man card
I felt gross and undignified
Betrayed by my own desire
To see something in someone
I guess I’m sorry I made you a sire
But now that’s over and we’re older
At least I think we’re older
I hope we are
