feels like the last time we played house
it's another you vs your conscious self----
hit your veins, it's like cracks in the sink like the rain
and it's all those, Machiavellian novels, it's in the way that you think
we get stuck
thinking about how we fucked up
your blood and guts
and all the in between that you love
you swear that it brings you down
you swear that it brings us down
you and your new hell
it's every single thing that you felt
and every single way that your heart melts
nights where you can't sleep
your guard is down Nagarjuna weeps
for all your western medicine
in 20 years you'll lift your eyes from the page
you'll think at least we were happy
feels like that last time we played house
you're another, shaking as your lover
rips through your name, and that ephemeral south
it's a game, you scream with every shape of your mouth
and it's all those, Machiavellian novels, it's in your throat when you talk.
your space-age wants
the galaxies between all our thoughts
your demons trust
your habits and the things that you love
you swear that it brings you down
you swear that it brings us down
you and your new hell
it's acid in the way that the synths swell
dripping like they got to get out
nights where you can't sleep
caught up in the physics of dreams
and all those words you taught to me
in 20 years it'll come and go like a plague
at least it was just a phase.
thinking lots about
they way you're wearing your hair
it's been different now, since the fall
thinking lots about
the way you talk when you're scared
you get cynical
like your mom
it's just a year til it's gone
