01:18
|
|||
|
i don't want to do anything on my list

there's too much comfort just here
i don't want to
you can't make me
just flick your ears

day 3 - new toy
02:00
|
|||
|
It used to take me hours
to do too many things
but since I got this new toy
it only takes a minute
when I mortgaged my soul
I had the hope
It would do (almost) everything
Now let me tell you all about it
it can call my mom
kiss my dad
tell me if God's good or bad
make the government kill themselves
and give me lots of money
Tweet my dog
question my cat
control my asshole wherever I'm at
I tell you life's much better
because of this toy
Now I know people who've
had this toy much longer than me
and I would say they don't know how to use it
(as good as I do)
I know people who would use it much better than me
but I can afford it so I'm much better than them for it
Let me remind you it can
it can call my mom
kiss my dad
tell me if God's good or bad
make the government kill themselves
and give me lots of money
Tweet my dog
question my cat
control my asshole wherever I'm at
I tell you life's much better
because of this toy

day 5 - caving in
00:56
|
|||
|
You are caving in. Rubber culture killed you.
While I Cried in my room with puppet people.
We both said nobody would stop caving in.
And the rabid child sing bass to the songs that keep my precious dog feeling bones.
We both said
pinhead bombed his favorite someone.
And waved our tippy toe with dollar signs in smelling rhythm.
And on the way mighty zombies are talking insane with great care
“if there must be hundreds of ears
never say the reason why youth culture died.”

day 6 - rocks
00:56
|
|||
|
I keep pushing rocks to mountain tops just to watch them roll down
pushing rocks to mountain tops just to watch them roll down
I don't know which peak I like the most
but I need to focus on something
I don't know what the result will be
and I'd like to keep it that way
keep pushing rocks
keep pushing rocks
keep pushing rocks
keep pushing rocks

day 7 - next right thing
01:14
|
|||
|
took an hour splitting pills into halves
replaying the scene with mom and dad
how can I worry if I’m on the wrong path
when I'm so lucky to have what I have
I feel my body eating me from inside
and nothing I can make will satisfy
But I count my blessings day and night
and I’d say I'm a happy person, but I
wonder what would happen if I spill the bottle
or the table starts to wobble
am I wasting full potential
if there’s always stuff to clean
when will I know I did something perfectly?
will it be the next right thing?
next right thing

I just need to practice
I just need to practice

day 9 - welcome home
02:04
|
|||
|
when you're home it's a guarantee
you'll step on a wet spot
and never know what it
is because everything smells like
cat piss
when you're home
you can hear water travel
inside the hole in the hallway where
someone must have
punched the wall in
when you're home, you're re-learning
everyone's taste in foods, music, humor and t.v.
while losing all personality
and still there are stains undetermined and unable to clean
there's so much stuff why is there so much stuff who needs all this stuff
a large stuffed dog with sad eyes greets you every morning and
you'll wake up under a ceiling full of acne
there are living creatures in the peripherals
of your eyes,
big and small, friend or foe,
and someone is always yelling
are they mad or happy
and why is tv on
welcome home
welcome home
no matter where you go
you are the star of you're home
when you're home
welcome home

hot dog
sweating like a hot dog
in boiling water
my head's a mess
I'm trying to do my best
repetition of cognition
has made me very stressed
|
||||
11. |
||||
|
spoken:
you are loved
you are wanted
you are valuable
you are special
the universe is for you and so is everything else
let go of everything that isn't serving you
just stop being an anxious stupid bitch
it's gonna be OK you dumb dumb
come on, let's get our shit together
come on

|
I'm sure gonna miss this lavender room
I'm sure gonna miss this big ol' house
I'm sure gonna miss the parties we had
I'm sure gonna miss the night sky
and I don’t think I can ever go back there
all of my old demons are waiting for me
the only home I’ve ever known for many years
containing zero family
I'm sure
I'm sure
I'm sure
I'm sure gonna miss the night sky

01:00
|
|||
|
the more people die
the more it stays the same
there's nothing to say
that hasn't been said before
I want to have some hope
but I don't know if it's OK to
I want to have some hope
and not be so down

day 20 - wc?
01:09
|
|||
|
I need a new distraction
or instant gratifying interaction
no one needs to know how hard I work
but the most mundane becomes a sport
I'm always pushing my limit of, who cares
Always cleaning cat shit, who cares
I organized my desk today, who cares
well I guess
I care
it doesn't take much to burn me out
but there are practical things I know a lot about
there's nothing to my point
besides that I'm here
but who cares
who cares
who cares
who cares

day 21 - fanfare
01:21
|
|||
|
the hole in her heart is like a rainbow when the clouds clear up
she longs to know whose love she’s not good enough for
just growing pain she said
with a charcoal lining around her chest
been so afraid to shine
and now she feels justified
but I gotta say it’s OK babe
there are good and bad days
every step you take doesn’t need a fanfare
yeah I gotta say it’s OK babe
there are good and bad days
every step you take doesn’t need a fanfare

day 25 - so lucky
01:02
|
|||
|
I’m not ready to do the same thing again
I really haven’t stopped missing all my friends
but maybe next year it will be much better
maybe next year we’ll be together
if it’s the worst I’ll feel
I should be so lucky
But the walls haven’t changed in many days
And we all have to play the same ol game
if it’s the worst I’ll feel
I should be so lucky

will you be my mother
will you feed me breakfast
will you drive me to school on time

will you tuck me in at night
I need a mommy, yes I do
I really need a mother to get me through
can you be the kind of mom that I need?
I really need a mommy
would you be my mother would you clean my bedroom
would you make me do the dishes when dinner is done
would you be my mother
would you kiss my boo boos
would you plan a whole day of fun
I need a mommy, yes I do
I really need a mother to get me through
can you be the kind of mom that I need?

day 29 - preoccupied
01:23
|
|||
|
you worked so hard
to get where you are
but the star
that you reached for
fell from the sky
and being audience of one
isn't any fun
but you can't blame the world
for being preoccupied
but I'm just a little girl
Who thought she was a princess
When her mother gave her a gold dress
on Christmas
I wasn't allowed to wear it outside
Mother feared I'd be captured by the bad guys
while being party of one isn't any fun
you can't blame your friends for being preoccupied
Because we're all looking at our own shadows
Always in need of a little bit more light
|
||||
30. |
||||
|
I've been alienated
I hate all that I've created
I can't feel my face
I don't know where my place in the book was
place in the book was
