epicenter
everybody here
everything you see infinity
a hall of mirrors
everybody’s boy

feeling it and you can to
all of this time that i spent so stressed
was it a litmus test for how much compassion
you can ever hack, the foundation is showing cracks
does this stem from some sort of new tactic, weed
don’t lose the compassion you have
don’t turn away from the cracks

little kid with his baseball mitt
in a chair somewhere under limelight
movie posters on the wall

hey, hey, hey
hey, hey, hey
hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
‘give me attention’
is my calling card
so thank my parents

dancing in my mind
no reason or rhyme
without the pieces in place
life was—

junior high with a face of zits
the cheshire cat in the forest
not sure if photoshopped
movie poster on the wall

(sample ‘Abercrombie Dreams’)

now that the future isn’t there
where else to go but back to the feeling
we long forget?

Clark Gable, Monty Clift
Marilyn Monroe, misfits
watching it on the evening that they
declared a state of emergency
Madonna, Lady Gaga
where’s the oxford comma?
vampires over the weekend
on bandcamp with St. Vincent
don’t shoot the horses, unleash the ropes
it’s not that anyone is trying to hurt you
it’s just that we hurt the earth

hitting up the thrift stores
when there’s not much going on
only spend the dollar on
things that take me back
to the feeling i long forget

(ooh, even if you achieve it
you still continue dreaming)

i shut myself in
what i feel in the wind
after the saw, i’ve been shut in
with the uncertainty of when this will end
just like you, it’s a long take
bordom setting in, boredom is where—

i’m too afraid of singing front of crowds
cuz i dont play anything and my vocals
only sound good when i drown them out
with my mooooooooooooooooooooood

i really fucking love you
i really fucking love you
i really fucking love you

Aeropostale
Janet Jackson’s nipple
JT went on to have a career
no political statements to be made
im too minuscule
american hero

i’m not claiming to be a prophet
but i do have a little bit of wisdom
cuz i know that i am old
but check me out
moving mountains on my own
i hope to see you there

sly, the city looks so beautiful tonight
sly, sly
there’s a riot goin’ on
there’s a riot goin’ on
there’s a riot goin’ on
there’s a riot goin’ on
