Girl in the Park

Girl in the park alone
By the lake, you see her skin is glowing
The sun is making easy rest
And she's thinking about never leaving
This is heaven, if only for a moment
This is heaven. She can finally rest.
She's so tired
She's so alive.

I want to cut off my privilege
So I can be free
So it don’t follow me
Free of the bondage
It’s giving me
It's raising me up but it’s weighing me down
I don’t deserve it and no else does
and all of this friction
with me and the world
makes me feel isolated
but that’s not enough
To right the wrong
I’ve got my blade razor sharp
I’ve got both feet on the floor
I struggle with myself
I am not as innocent as I want to be
I don’t want this as much as you all want this
Without it
I’ll be as vulnerable as you

Blame

I was born into a century
of unimpressed cynics and compulsive misery
It's clear, our generation
has been left here to decide if we all live or die
Maybe it's naive, but I am hopeful
Cause I have faith, if not in God, then in me
Jesus Christ, what's in a name?
The sound of love is all the same
But even love cannot absolve us of the blame
We spend so much energy on people who are dead
But if life is just a moment, then all that shit's in our head
If we keep making decisions with primal biology
Then I am leaving

What if there is no god?
It's just you and the world alone
Does it make you feel sad?
You don't mean anything to
Anything to anybody
Anything to anybody
You don't mean anything to anybody
You don't know anything
Why are you living for the validation of other people?
Do something better with your time.
The oceans are rising
Faster than they anticipated.
If we only got years left let's not spend them desperate
They're wrong, they're wrong, they're wrong
I swear they're wrong.
Why do you spend all your time in a box?

Dissociation

I never learned to be honest
Everyone in my life lied to me
But when I grew up I saw reality
So I turned on the TV
And smoked too much weed
Alone too much
learned to be absent from my own moments alone
I spent too much time alone
All alone
I don't wanna be just another college dropout
Where my reality's dictated by my economic tier
my family's track record isn't reassuring
My pedigree says I am doomed to this
A life of work and debt
Fuck that shit
I understand entitlement and I won't dwell in it
I turned off the TV
And I've been sober for weeks
I've been spending all my time thinking over
All the time spent wishing I was doing something else
Can't fight the feeling
too busy sleeping
to see you spend your time thinking over
all the time you spent wishing you were doing something else

Sometimes I'm scared of what I think of all of you
But I see you're scared shitless too
So what do we do with ourselves and these stupid bodies?
We're meaningless
Let go of your bullshit and stop trying to be famous
You're never gonna be famous
And even if you were it would be just as fleeting as yourself
Why would you want that?
How can you not see were not fighting for the same things?
Why do you pursue the things that let you down?
You don't know what you want introspectively, but you sure know how to feel good
For brief passing moments but then it starts over
And if you never change your mind, then you won't ever change your life, and you'll never change anyone else's life
So forgive me for asking but what kind of existence is that?

Will anybody listen to me?
Really listen to me when I speak?
I always say what you wanna hear
You only hear what you wanna hear
I want to talk about the problems
Cause no one ever solves them
We’re all filled up with ego
And everyone’s afraid of themselves
I think a lot too much
All night when I’m smoking all my cigarettes
I think a lot too much
Sometimes, I’m wasting all my time
I am the craziest fuck I know
I have the craziest thoughts that’s for sure
I’ve been sleeping more than I should
I keep waiting around for things to get better
I’m afraid I’m stuck this way
And I’ll be left here all alone
I’m so scared cause I want my life to mean so much more

Nostalgia #2

I feel nostalgic for the rain when I
Sweat all day in desperation waiting for
The moment to come
When I don’t need to be
So fake
Will we always feel alone
Because right now I feel alone
Like nobody gets me maybe
Maybe it’s just something in me
I don’t want to be a burden
I am not alone if I am not alive
I can feel my face
Floating further into space
And no one knows my name
And no one knows the game I play
I am not alone if I am not alive
I fear the calm before the storm
And I fear the desperation in me
I fear the calm before the storm
And I fear the desperation in me
I don’t want to know what I
Am capable of
