Every time I'm glad
Every time, I find myself a little sore
Couldn't do what I had to
Every time, I hate myself a little more
Sitting on the shelf
The blueprint of a person I don't want to be
Bestow upon myself the
Description of a foreign personality
I don't wanna be, no I don't really wanna be an inspector
I don't wanna know, no I don't really wanna know about truth
I don't wanna be, no I don't really wanna be an inspector
I don't wanna care, no I don't really wanna care about you
Wanting to be judged
Wanting to evaluate another one
Needing to be nudged so
I wake up every day and stare into the sun
It's never been so long
Since I've been reflected in the mirror and
I find that I'm a wronghead
To leave my self-worth hanging on an ampersand
And they'll say,
"Oh him, he was lost in a file
But in fact, all the while
He had nothing to say
In a white ocean, that said
‘What would you do
If you found it was true
But you still had today?’ "

Psychopath

When I talk to you
I can't stay awake
Blinking like a satellite I
Slowly drift through space.
When I look at you
I go blind for days.
I can't dispel the afterimage
Seared into your face.
Listening to you
Your voice forever rings.
And soon becomes a deafening roar that
Drowns out everything.
When I sense the scent of you
My fingertips do sting.
Grinning like a psychopath I'd
Surely cease to blink.

Aspirin

Oh, I'd stare into the sky
Rather than look into your eyes
Because the sun is less beguiling
And it never looks away
Yes, I'm gazing at the ground
And covering ears to mask the sound
Of your approach; if I don't notice
You, my crush can't be betrayed
Now my thoughts are getting glummer
This'll always be the summer
That you fell in love with showtunes
And I fell in love with you
We can hang out with each other
Though I really shouldn't bother
'Cause I wish that you would have me
But the opposite is true
There is no aspirin for the situation that I'm in
No easy medicine to soothe this headache
There's no solution that can make delight from my chagrin
Oh, I'd do anything for something to take
Late at night, before I sleep
As I am slipping underneath
I can't help thinking about you
As I read through all my regrets
When these thoughts exchange for dreams
I can't escape, or so it seems
As I rewind to every chance
That was consumed by my neglect
There's a reason I keep hope
In spite of each resounding nope
Oh, it's the thing that keeps me going
It's the thought keeps me composed.
So I guess I'll hurry up—
There's a certain euphoria
In cramming syllables of heartache
Then dismissing them as prose
I'm aspirin' to a day when there is something I can do
I'm aspirin' to discover something worth aspiring to
I'm aspirin' to write lyrics that aren't based on worn cliches
I'm aspirin' to uncover when to speak and what to say
I don't want to spend all my time
Writing limericks about limerence
Like "There once was a boy from suburban New York
Who died from unearned Takotsubo cardiomyopathy!"
It's too easy to draw parallels with the kid from Dubliners, in a dark room singing "O love, O love."
And every single damn mistake is almost more than I can take, 'cause when you're young, I've heard self-doubt is what you're made of.

"Billy was helped to his feet by the lovely boy, by the heavenly androgyne. And the others came forward to dust the snow off Billy., and then they searched him for weapons. He didn't have any. The most dangerous thing they found on his person was a two-inch pencil stub."
"The stories were mimeographed and stuffed into the brass and velvet cartridges which the pneumatic tubes ate."
"I read the letter out loud to my wife, and I said, 'Secret? My God - from whom?' "
