new york, new zealand
new orleans, new mexico
they're all old news to me
i'm beginning to feel a little bit hostile
i make my way about the day
with a puncher's chance and a gritty smile
but i could still see the pain in your eyes
when i told you that i gotta leave and you missed the flight
i think i'm really freakin out
fried like an egg
i make my way across your breakfast plate
a bitter black cup of coffee
with sugar free sweetener
if you want oat milk with that then you can
fuck right off
i'm getting the picture i'm a little bit bad for you
just like that milk you're trying so so hard to avoid
i think i'm really freakin out
oh dear, i'm really freakin out
you have this special way
of making things okay
when all the pieces start
to fall.
you have this special way
of saying so much
without saying nothing
at all.
you have this special way about you
i just can't get out of my head
oh my god i loathe you
like i loathe monday mornings
after a pleasant weekend
vacationing in the south of france with you
making love and empty promises
in our downtown apartment complex
thinking about all the things that would be
so so nice... yet here i find myself...
slightly freakin out
oh dear, i'm really freakin out
you said that next year
we'll be in thailand
on the beaches
suntanned
so what's all this talk about next year?
next year
next year
next year
well, i'll be in the same place
waiting for your sweet face
to come back on a golden platter from pluto
if that's even a fuckin planet anymore
my head is losing it bit by bit
keep talking about next year
next year
next year
next year
well, sweetheart
sugarplum,
sugar honey iced tea,
my precious little bumblebee,
things don't always work out the way we thought i guess
well, i'll still think about a time and a place
where we can push our gorgeous daughter on the swing
my angel wings, my sweetest sweetest thing
i think i've finally freaked out

Ceasefire

can i get a ceasefire please?
i'm choking on the chowder of expired unease
when there's no guarantees that anything will change
they'll throw it in your face
they'll shove it down your gullet
i'm sick and tired of drinking government wine
beside closed doors it's a perfect design
defined by some fucked up group of fucked up individuals
that don't give a fuck about
your mom
your dad
your love
your dog
your job
your boss
you're sad
you're lost
you're scared
you're gone
you're mad
you're tossed
you're fried
you're posh
you've tried
you've flossed
you're thrown out
you're caught
you've lied
you've fought
you've scratched
you've clawed
you're trapped
you're sprawled
you're strapped
you fall
it's on it's off
it's on it's off
again and again and again and again and again
can i get a ceasefire please?
i'm choking on the chowder and i'm starting to wheeze
bricks and bones may break my phone
but the message is always the same
spewing bullshit outta their mouth
it's all an intricate plan to put your head down south
your muse is gone, your friends withdrawn
you're washed up
you're fucked up
you're outta touch
you're outta time
you're outta nickels
you're outta dimes
you've done the crime
you've served the time
you're outta chances
you've got no spine
you moved to france
left me behind
now i'm confined
to sleep around in this stranger town
i'm shaken down, you're breakin down
but what i found is when i'm on the ground
i can finally see
so fucking clearly now
i beg, i bleed
can i get a ceasefire, please?
