i think kip spent his night
at the dog park again
looking for a baggy
that jackie had hid
cause i saw him come home today
and he looked a certain way
when he said
“i can’t play these games
i feel the same about you as i did yesterday”
and his voice sounded strained
so i nodded my head and then i said “okay”

stop
don’t touch that anymore
it’s not for you
to endure
so don’t forget
your keys as you go
we can still thaw
the pipes that have froze
i’m creeping through the crawl space
and wiping the dirt off from my face
i don’t ask a lot, i just need to be lucid
when self-defense is all i got
and i don’t give a fuck
about auxiliary stuff
when i speak it comes straight up from my gut
but to indulge and self-destruct
and think you’re okay
is just beginner’s luck
i’m creeping through the crawl space
better get out of my way
i’m creeping through the crawl space

rory came in with a message for quinn
and she left with a six pack of mike’s
i watched her drive out on the freeway again,
til her taillights hid from the sky
and lord knows, i’m happy to help out
in any way i can
but don’t you cut so close to me
when i’m hanging by a thread
she said that she could try to bring it back
a pretty picture that we could look at
but does she even remember a time
when your love wasn’t under attack?
well i’m still holding out for you
even if it makes her sad
to sever a link in the stem
from myself out through my head
to everything i once held dear
to sever a link in the stem
from myself out through my head
is that why you’re here?

day 23
02:30
|

well this is day 23
there’s no signal coming in
to our machines
nothing on the screens
so let me go
i’ll fold up those clothes
and take my leave
respite and reprieve
there is a time
and there is a place
i can always reach
through the look on her face
but she finds me alone
standing by the payphone
“so was that all just for show?
or did you really not know?
did you really not know?”

we were here

moving away
was never part of the plan
but these days i could see myself
just about anywhere
and i try to figure it out
how this place turned so upside down
make some time
take some space
there are some things
you cannot erase
time’s uncertain
path unclear
but we had no fear
when we were here
make some time
take some space
there are some things
you cannot erase
time’s uncertain
path unclear
but we had no fear
when we were here

the bathtub
04:05

|
nobody showed up to the store today
so i closed up shop early
and made my way home
i never saw rory again after that
most days i couch it as karma
like i’m sitting with survivor’s guilt
even though she’s probably still around
drinking a hard cranberry lemonade,
with kip, in the bathtub.
i think she wanted something to be true,
something real that she could hold in her hands
without it crumbling into bits
like quinn
