I just keep expecting you there And Jesus unsubscribed to my prayers I don’t believe you when you say always Except how you’ve ruined all my days I fell out of bed. Can’t get you out of my head. I woke up screaming! (AHHH) You’ll forget me meeting dumb asses But I still have your Looney Tunes glasses I smashed every single one on the wall Now Porky Pig doesn’t bother me at all It’s not right how you haunt me every night I woke up screaming! (AHHH) I think about suicide a lot I think about twice on the nights I forgot And wouldn’t it be nice to have all your problems gone Wouldn’t it? Wouldn’t it? I woke up screaming! (AHHH) Some days you want to get on the train And never go back again Start a new life anywhere else Where you can go outside and just be yourself This isn’t a lark. I’m a crazy dog in the park I woke up screaming! (AHHH) Screaming! (AHHH)

Old friends reunite Would you like to see a sight tonight? There's a place I know nearby A place that caught my eye. Here's why: The houses were built in 1917 Meant to evoke a Swedish winter scene Prettiest place that I have ever seen Let's ditch this abusive comedian This is not the environment that I want to be in Come with me and I'll show you where the Jul Hus begins Such excitement on her face It soon became a race to the place I have snacks that I can bring Old songs that we can sing. How's things? I asked why she thought people don't respond When you write to them and it's thoughtful and long She said maybe they just got something else going on I asked if she remembered an old kids show Where a mannequin came to life when the store was closed She thought for a second and then said no But she ran into the fog and got lost Hypnotized by light into the Jul Hus Historical landmark 175 Somewhere in the white, my friend is alive I can't see in but I know she survived 10 years since that happened I never saw my friend again I search now & then But just see the grin of a penguin She ran into the fog and got lost Hypnotized by light into the Jul Hus She ran into the fog and got lost And to think, it was me who wanted to show her the Jul Hus.

Another strange bed Another bathroom I don’t belong in You try to hold me But you don’t me know me And the only thing I wanted to do was boring too But my hair looks cool I want to go somewhere and look at my phone I like to be around people when I want to be alone I get home late at night And I’m smelling ripe And I check my likes And I got five Guess it’s enough to be alive Oooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, say you love me Say it to me. It doesn’t have to be true Oooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, say you love me Say it to me. Please say I love you. Everywhere I’ve lived has been a cruel city I won’t kill you bug but you do annoy me And someone stole my Political sign There goes my voice And a wasted five Guess it’s enough to be alive Oooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, say you love me Say it to me. It doesn’t have to be true Oooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, say you love me Say it to me. Please say I love you. And if I had a time machine I’d go back to 1915 Take myself to Sutro Baths Slide down the slide and swim some laps Everywhere in town is a memory that I’ve had And you’ll find me chowing down on McDonalds feeling sad All of life events have brought me to here So hello new pal, let’s share this beer Oooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, say you love me Say it to me. It doesn’t have to be true Oooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, say you love me Say it to me. Please say I love you.

In a former life, I was a circus bear I hoped on my unicycle and rode outta there I tried to spend my fortune with a life in the woods But I felt more human and struggled more than I should I wanted to Fall off the map Fall off the map Fall off the map Maybe I just needed a nap Have you seen a badly placed bench? Did history change it’s course or did it never make any sense? It used to overlook a beautiful vista But now it sits behind the Foothill Shopping Plaza When did it Fall off the map Fall off the map Fall off the map Gonna curl up on it and take a nap It’s the Post-Apocalypse and I’m at a bar One more glass of scotch to forget the fallen star Did you ever get to visit San Francisco? There was a place called the Tonga Room. They had a band on a boat. I saw it just Fall off the map Fall off the map Fall off the map I’ve drank too much and I need a nap We need to go camping again.

MEOW

I wrote a song using her name I made $20 change for some arcade games I held the umbrella as we kissed in the rain But before the next date, everything had changed It was fate when we saw each other on the train I didn’t mind when you were really late It’s not the same when I walk around the lake Cuz before the next date, everything had changed She said I think you’re a really cool person But it’s not exactly what I’m looking for right now It was great to know you for a little bit Good luck with the music I got advice from everyone I know I didn’t want to see you go I relented and my heart stays in pain Cuz before the next date, everything had changed She said I think you’re a really cool person But it’s not exactly what I’m looking for right now It was great to know you for a little bit Good luck with the music I used all my best tricks I made myself sick And I’m still shit Good luck I think you’re a really cool person But it’s not exactly what I’m looking for right now It was great to know you for a little bit Good luck with the music Good luck

We’re all stuck in the traffic of life I stopped for gas in the city of hope You look around and say is this it? Looking for the perfect place to vomit I held out my hand and you let me fall I guess my heart wasn’t worth saving at all It’s like a whiff of bacon It’s not getting a thing you want Somewhere there’s a version of you that cares about me Doing secular dances and debauchery A kiss hello. A kiss goodbye. And all those kisses on the fly And when I die, what will it mean? I’m floating in the sky but I can’t feel my wings I’m name my kids whatever I feel Their names are Lonely, Depressed, and Worthless. DEAL. It’s like a whiff of perfume It’s a scene that takes you back in time Somewhere there’s a version of you that cares about me Doing secular dances and debauchery Let me tell you about last night’s dream It had everyone I know and my anxieties I was dressed as Mario in an upscale mall setting Looking for clues and finding nothing, nothing, nothing He looks like me with a filter on his face Using all my things still left at your place I took a selfie because I forgot who I am And what I saw back was a tired old man I never forget like an elephant There was a time I was labeled important It’s like a whiff of coffee It’s the reason you get up each day Somewhere there’s a version of you that cares about me Doing secular dances and debauchery

Feeling a bit sleepy. Gonna rest in a mall parking lot. The Sears inside is a bit creepy. How I got here I forgot. I don’t know where I’m going. I don’t know anybody in this town. The old people at the hostel are annoying. I guess I’ll just keep driving around Grocery shopping at 11:30 There’s no crowds and there’s no food Hanging up above the milk and dairy Is a cow that’s lost it’s moo They’re playing XTC’s “King For A Day” It’s not a song that they usually play Sitting alone in the car eating a pre-made Cobb salad. I bought two though I didn’t want to. The discount wouldn’t work without it I remember laying on my bed when “It’s Not Easy Being Green” came on. It got to me, sobbed uncontrollably, but I felt fine when the song was done. My friend said that I look sick Although she never was very nice And as I sit freezing in a blanket, I think Fuck, she might be right. And will I feel again true love? Or will I just drive aimlessly looking at stuff And taking pictures of Retro Signs Treat myself to some sushi and sake as I read a book. The waitress comes up to me. Dessert menu? Sure, I’ll take a look. I remember Alan Choy at Martuni’s. He played “The Rainbow Connection.” I sang every line with 20 others beside. I really needed that moment just then. My childhood home is now a Subway I don’t know how I feel about this. The thing that never was is drifting away As I stare into the abyss. And I don’t understand how I continue to wake up. And when you think about me, am I eating donuts Or taking pictures of Retro Signs Long ago, I milked a cow but I don’t know it’s name

I am a down-on-his-luck bearded man in the snow Dreaming of a turkey leg and a stove The toy shop lights are on There’s a hole in the window Everything’s come to life It’s not real I know I am a down-on-his-luck bearded man in the snow I used to dance on the moon but that was long ago There’s one pea in the can But that was attacked by mice They all look like Mickey But not as nice I am a down-on-his-luck bearded man in the snow Will the Little King help me? Bring me clothes. Take me home. Can anybody help me? My gut’s too hungry to say no

Only three feet away is a rat at the train station He doesn’t squeak. I don’t speak. Another missed connection. Watching each passing train, feeling my face to see if it’s there, I never got over the last goodbye and I did not care. Raelynn, why are you going through my stuff? As Soon As I’m Gone And who’s this guy? And she had to come in looking beautiful. Everybody’s walking towards me wearing jackets, looking down. The sudden realization that life exists whether or not I’m around Wave hi but that’s not me. I look like someone you know. And even if it was me, I’m a ghost who died some time ago. Raelynn, why are you going through my stuff? As Soon As I’m Gone And who’s this guy? And she had to come in looking beautiful. Only three feet away is the rat at the train station We’re still not talking but I’ve come to see him as a friend He falls on the tracks, gets hit by a train, and dies His soul crawls on my lap. I pat his back and say “Sorry, little guy.” Raelynn, why are you going through my stuff? As Soon As I’m Gone And who’s this guy? And she had to come in looking beautiful. She’s so beautiful.
