anxiety poem
01:30
|

|
bubble bubble up
bubble faster in my gut
clench my lungs until
i gasp like a fish out of water
that's all i feel like these days
beyond being a small fish in a big pond
i grow sicker with every cloud of thought
that hovers over the rays of my sanity
i feel the constant churning of emotional
acids that thrash beneath my flesh
back and forth like a porch swing
and i'm waiting for the moment the ropes snap
but they never do
i am strung along on a thin thread
waiting for something to happen
anything to pull me out of the pit of anticipation
i am waiting for my own fears
to reveal themselves to me
i wish i could speak truth with the analogy
of preparing for battle perhaps
waiting for the enemy to strike and being ready to
slay the knights with my sword of serenity
but i cannot and i do not speak that truth
at least not today
not today when my body chemically reacts to the
chemicals in my brain that distort my own reality
not today when i feel more like
a beggar than a king

front seat
01:07
|

|
but the front seat feels so far away
yeah the front seat feels so far away
so i'll stay back here
yeah i'll stay back here
and i can't hear what you're saying
over the rumble of the car
and i don't know where we're going
but it's got to be far

goodbyes
00:50
|
|||
|
i want to cry
i hate goodbyes
but that's okay
you, you said
that we'd pretend
that you weren't going away
and i apologize
that we only have
a short time
you, you said
that we'd pretend
that you, that you could stay

make that call
01:32
|
|||
|
i remember last weekend
you said it wasn't that important
and now i'm looking at you weeping
you gotta make it to the morning
still drowning in the dark haze
dreaming of the sunkissed days
seems like there's distance to the light
you gotta make it one more night
maybe one day we can freeze our rain
and play in the snow
maybe one day we can melt our pain
and just let it go
but i can't let you fall
but you've got to make that call

swan song
01:48
|
|||
|
i don't wanna be the bad guy
the villain in your eyes
'cause my eyes see the same thing
and my heart is compressing
i said you were home to me
and i meant that
but hey dude now i'm 18
don't forget that
i gotta move out, i gotta go on
and i can't take you along
so this is goodbye
yeah this is so long
this is the summer's swan song
