Four Sidewalks

Holding hands as they stand at the intersection where university and roan street cross. In an all over print hoodie that he listed from the discount store on the other side of town. Drinking a soda from a Beach print cup you can get at the store for a buck. Pushing a stroller negotiating traffic in the town they built with 4 sidewalks.
People say they should get their shit together, people say anything they want. She knows he makes the world spin around and I'm glad no one loves me that much, I'm glad I don't know love that strong.
Life could throw you for a loop and you wouldn't know what to do.
Pushing a stroller up buffalo at dawn and they're arguing where everyone can listen. They want for nothing, but need everything that's stable, but will settle for another pack of smokes.
He gives plasma every Tuesday down the road because there's no work for the man with a record. She waits tables for the asshole of the block and pretends she doesn't know he's trying to fuck her.
And if she does she pretends it doesn't bother her as if the good shifts depend on how she knows he puts the schedule on the wall and I'm glad no one loves me that much. I'm glad I'll never know love that strong.

Bust Out

I see you chewing your fingernails to the quick. Eyes bloodshot cuticles ripped. A hole in your heart the wine won't drench, realities grasp beyond your finger tips.
So long summer the ends creeping in, days have grown shorter and patience wears thin. I have no reason to believe I can't do it, it's just I thought I could beat it.
This year I thought I would beat it.
So creep on in, dig as deep as you wish, maybe this new year, I'll finally learn to deal with it.
I have no reason to believe anything isn't gonna fall apart . But i can't make myself believe it won't all work out.
So let's smile while we can, kiss the sun before she hides, let go of any condescending rage, every ounce of unchecked hate. Save it for another day.
Creep on in, dig as deep as you wish, maybe this new year, I'll finally learn to deal with it
In my own way, I'm overboard, blowing it out of proportion, spilling my guts over senseless bullshit, in my own way, I'm overboard. I'm blowing it out of proportion and spilling my guts all over the bar.

Muscle Memory

Thought you were dead
Or maybe you got so fucked up I thought I'd never see you again.
But I passed you at the station buying steel reserves with change and it reminded me the roaches will die first and you would live on and on.
Staggering across the road, your brain is zapped, but your body knows the map
It's muscle memory, it's just a dance, your body knows the steps
I used to see you around sometimes
You'd drop by the bar and ask for work or just a smoke and that was fine.
But then you got so spin out it made it hard to be polite, you didn't have to show the knife, but in the end it turned out just fine.
You're dancing in front of the willow tree
Your brain is zapped, but your body knows the dance.
It's muscle memory, it's just a dance. Your body knows the steps.

I stay awake at night
Feeding existential dread
They're fuckin forming
Plotting against me
Won't stop till I'm fuckin dead
Secret innuendo
Message in code
Paranoid and anxious till I fuckin explode
Everyone's coming to get me
Everyone wants to see me fail.
