sleepy boy
laying on the windshield
i bet you're tired
from runnning around the backyard all day
you've been my audience
and my number one critic
and i wonder
what's going on
in that tiny head of yours
hazel eyes,
freckled nose,
what could it be you're thinking 'bout?
lay beside me
at the foot of the bed
and as you sink into deep sleep
and dream about fish
i'll sing you this song, a lullaby
and i wonder
what's going on
in that tiny head of yours
freckled nose,
hazel eyes,
what could it be you're thinking 'bout?

Get Up, Skinny Arms

rot in bed, skinny arms
'cause that's all you know how to do
don't get up from bed
and don't bother your friends
try not to speak
'cause you'll just make things worse
out of everyone in the room
remind yourself you're just a ghost
another bottle, eyebags
one more cigarrette won't hurt
get drunk 'til you pass out
in the corner of your room
you're not worth the attention
you're not worth the time

you grab my hand
and you tell me the words that you want me to say
"i deserve to be loved"
i love you and i look into your eyes
and i reluctantly say what i have to say
and in a sick and twisted turn of events
two months after that day
i'm sitting on the corner of my bed at 5am
playing back the same scenario in my head
whispering the answer to myself
the answer that i've known all along
i do not deserve to be loved today
or ever again
i've been searching for an answer outside
when i've known all along
that i deserve to be
alone

Self-Aware Apologies

i haven't been a very good company
i haven't been a very good lover
i haven't been a very good son
i haven't been a very good friend
things get to me
easier than they should
should've pulled you closer
when i had the chance
should've held you tighter
when you held my hands
should've taken care of you
like i promised i would do
should've been much more
when you needed me to be
i took your company
as a certainty
and i push away
the people that i love
with my immaturity
and my insecurities
'cause i've been cruel
and i've been dumb
'cause i've been selfish
and i've been bitter
and i'm sorry for the past
is it selfish of me to wish that you don't regret meeting me?

Memorial for a Ghost

the boy finds himself looking in the bathroom mirror
in the reflection, he discovers a shell of a boy
a boy who wanted to be a man but never could
in his eyes, tired and void of anything
but for the vision of a closed casket,
and on the lid, bouquets of flowers
purple hyacinths, one for every regret he's had
the flowers flood the room
friends and family, the flowers are wet
and as they weep, lamenting the loss
of a person that never was,
and was never going to be anything more
than a failing system, a defective machine
friends and family, again, lift the lid upwards
and to their surprise, nothing but
flies and dirt are inside, no sign
of this shadow of a boy, for he was
already rotting six feet down below,
spiders laying eggs in his coarse throat
and earthworms taking the place of his eyes,
buried in a grave of his own making,
by his own hands, in his own terms
the boy in the bathroom is crying histerically,
as he will soon set these events in motion,
realizing that he is slowly dying
he is nothing
he is dirt
he is a worm
he's dead
and he's afraid
