i didn’t get out of bed today
i didn’t get out of bed
i didn’t get out of bed today
no i didn’t get out of bed
the man got kicked off the property
they said “don’t you come back here”
thought the news would let me sleep at night
i thought it’d make my head feel clear
but i
woke up at 1 pm today
for this i cursed myself to the gods
i said “you have to wake up and work hard today”
but my skin still felt too odd
so i
told all my friends i’m a fuck up today
they said “watch out, you’re being profane”
i said “ten weeks is too damn long to be in this amount of pain”
and
the gods and my friends reached out to me
they said “maybe you should stop and think
about all the shit you have been through these months
it’s okay; you’re just on the brink.”
because the truth is i left bed today
i sat up to take my meds
i even left the house to buy cigarettes
i am proud i left my bed.

porn of a shy boy

hopped off the bus with nothing but a pocket watch. he came from iowa, his mother wanted nothing but the right son who would parent all his sisters with the guidance of a bigger man.
his feet dragged dragged through the world, he was so tired of the same thing
one morning in the paper, spotted clearance for a ticket straight to california
dreamin’ of the things he couldn’t see
now he is off the bus, he’s asked a man to find the closest pawn shop
but the man offers him something more catching that he’s seen
porn of a shy boy is the best i’ve ever seen
it stars a stark young man who’s waiting for desire on the screen
he takes it oh so well, i know he loves the job that he’s been given
he is quiet and demure, he lives the life that he loves livin’
and as the days go by he's given recognition
for the beauty in the work he's done, he's everyone's new favorite
he is pouty, he is soft and he gives hints of all his pleasure
but he does not let us into him, that's his right in his own
the boy's secretive flavor is the right unto his throne
we have seen nothing like it at all, we want some of our own
he is humble, he is right, and we cannot know if he's satisfied
his power is for him, and we lie envious, alone
porn of a shy boy is the best i’ve ever seen
it stars a stark young man who’s waiting for desire on the screen
he takes it oh so well, i know he loves the job that he’s been given
he is quiet and demure, he lives the life that he loves livin’
the man in his own masterpiece thinks nothing of it all
he is free and he is wandering, but he is unassuming
of the impact of his presence in the world
of rights and wrongs
he will always love his pleasure, he'll bring wonder to us all
porn of a shy boy is the best i’ve ever seen
it stars a stark young man who’s waiting for desire on the screen
he takes it oh so well, i know he loves the job that he’s been given
he is quiet and demure, he lives the life that he loves livin’

if healing is not linear

moments have passed me by, reflecting on the humour in your eyes
but i refuse to invite that
i beat myself upon the head when i view you in light
you don't exist. i don't believe in you.
well if healing's not linear
i've got some deep unanswered questions
will the heartache just remain
or will life just be a tad harder?
will each passing day be tiring
or will i wake up slowly?
well if healing's not linear
i'm happy to feel it all.
i made my peace with your dissolve, you showed up right on time
i hate the way that you always do that.
i had it figured out, content with it, i thought i'd never be,
you will not stop 'til you end me.
