New Objectivity

we fell apart in the dull grey
we fell in love in the bright white clouds
went back to the warm day one night
we held hands under painted sunlight
now i'm concerned to report that i'm outside of my body
and i'm losing control of it
i'm losing control
people stopped me to tell me that this was going to happen
i guess i thought i was over
and now i'm overexposed
i'm a fucking embarassment
an expert of white lies
won't you call me out this time?
drifting away from me again
drifting away from me again
drifting away from me again
drifting away from me again
now it's safe to say, now it's clear to see
we fall prey to new objectivity
say hello to a new day
say goodbye to the girl you loved
she even spoke of impermanence
you should have known what this shit would come to
suddenly everything's different
when we're not face-to-face
if you give me attention then i can give you your space
you've got nothing to say to me
i'm afraid what you'll do
don't want to read between lines
just want to paint over truth
now it's safe to say, now it's clear to see
we fall prey to new objectivity
you owe no explanation
you don't need to open up
i fell in love again, it's true
don't need your broken love
no, i don't blame you anymore
just thought i'd be enough
you reassure but you don't need to
say the word but you don't mean to
strain to make the smile i see through
say the word, i don't believe you
reassure but you don't need to
say the word but you don't mean to
gouge our eyes, don't know what we knew
say the word, i don't believe you
safe to say
clear to see
we fall prey to new objectivity

Streets We Knew

streets we knew
fake blood dripping all over the streets we knew
dudes pinching on your jacket
'cause they thought it was cool
get away, get away
oh if only you knew
if only you knew
streets we knew
future mourners so disordered on the streets we knew
see someone i know and try to stop them
thought it was you
get away, get away
oh if only you knew
if only you knew
to the east, over cars
to the east, not too far
to the west, so confused
to the west, time to lose
streets we knew
gripping keys in pockets near the very street i knew
naked fingers, pre-war buttons pressing
hope it was you
come to stay, come to stay
oh if only you knew
if only you knew
if only you knew
if only you knew
if only you knew
if only you knew
to the east, over cars
to the east, not too far
to the west, so confused
to the west, time to lose

say "i love you"
sometimes i mean it
never knowing if you believe it
i've been trying so hard to feel it
where would i go if you were leaving?
guess that i'm the one you depend on
if you need a shoulder to rest on
body's here,
don't know where my head's gone
this wave's breaking before the crest
everything we've done
i find myself erasing
my feet start to run
i don't know what i'm chasing
i think that the night that i saw you
might have been the night that i lost you
since then we've been wearing our costumes
colors all come out in the wash
i've got too much weight on my shoulders
sisyphus
i'm pushing a boulder
up a cliff to watch it roll back down
and become your load to bear
everything we've done
i find myself erasing
my feet start to run
i don't know what i'm chasing
everything we've done
i find myself erasing
my feet start to run
i don't know what i'm chasing
i believe that you believe in me believing
soon i will be leaving if i don't find something to believe in
everything we've done
i find myself erasing
my feet start to run
i don't know what i'm chasing
everything we've done
i find myself erasing
my feet start to run
i don't know what i'm chasing

poor street corner
bore witness to the weekend
told me you're over growing older
and you're so done being sober
so i showed you
we can do the things that please us
four leaf clover
culprit of my sleeplessness
told me you need to crash at your place
with a smile stamped on your face
that i'm welcome to join you for the evening
break me away, there's nowhere else that i'll go
don't need no space for a change
you're never taking me home
baby shake me awake, we'll keep on going and going
now i've got skin in the game
that i'm a sucker for showing
i think i'm falling in love
but you can think for yourself
thought i spotted a blush
i'll never know how you felt
that's just the hand we were dealt
i wish i hadn't come back for my belt
monday morning
joining the procession
weather was colder than your shoulder
i was forced to feed the folder
then you phoned me
don't need to hear your reasons
break me away, there's nowhere else that i'll go
don't need no space for a change
you're never taking me home
baby shake me awake, we'll keep on going and going
now i've got skin in the game
that i'm a sucker for showing
you think i'm falling in love
i can think for myself
you think you're calling my bluff
i never gave you my tell
that's just the hand we were dealt
you're blushing 'cause it went so well
but i just need to let you know you fucked my body double
'cause i don't do my own stunts
i was bored and you were desperate
just begging!
and i just need to let you know i left you in the rubble
not the other way around
you were so much older last week
what happened to you now?

it's hard to see you slip between streetlights
like you're afraid that i might see you twice
why am afraid to cut ties for a better life?
leave you behind with my doubts weighing me down
sitting in the car with the heater on
cherry-picking lines from our favorite songs
thinking about the time that i knew i was losing you
i guess it's true
you never sort it out at 22
your mementos
seem so incidental
what's a token without a prize?
the last look in your eyes
the faded goodbye
so why would i rewind just to waste my time?
why would i rewind just to waste my time?
sober thoughts crowd drunken brains
i wash my hands in summer rain
am i too proud to act my age?
i throw myself against the waves
scrolling back through sloppy texts
i smoke your pack of parliaments
it makes it hard to tell the truth
while i still hide behind my youth
i want to see your breath fog up the screen
i want to eat raclette on hudson street
and now i find myself caught way upstream
in a landlocked state
with a sunken dream
your mementos
seem so incidental
what's a token without a prize?
the last look in your eyes
the faded goodbye
so why would i rewind just to waste my time?
why would i rewind just to waste my time?

and i didn't get in
but i didn't want to
and you didn't see me
and i knew i'd lost you
was a pentecost of pent-up losses
meet me in another time, another place,
take some time to make mistakes
alone
i was wearing bright red
you were wearing black clothes
said you did the research
that i missed the memo
and i shined too bright, can't get inside
now wonder why i tried so hard
to hold you close
your cold embrace i'll miss the most of all
and it's three a.m here
and i'm all alone now
and i need some sleep, dear,
but i'm not so sure how
i can get inside, the room is locked
and it seems that you must hold the key
these empty streets are filled with drunken lovers
fast asleep
you've been wide awake, love
since the day i met you
and it's no surprise that
you made no attempt to
just turn around and see me
before you walked through another door
i should have known
we both went blind too far from home
do you really want this for us?
do you really want this for us?
i'm just a motherfucker wandering the streets of Berlin

Undesirable

i'm feeling undesirable of late
another day, another day-of cancelled date
(you know what they say...)
that i'm the problem, and on that we can agree
i've never understood the concept
of blaming someone else than me
don't let me down so easily
built my mind around you all these days
said more words to you in dreams than to your face
(he's reaching out!)
to me an angel
but to you i'm just a shrug
left me out in freezing rainfall
asked me "do you want a hug?"
your false desire's all i trust
based on my expectations
lovely lengthy conversations
satiate my shameful longing
fuck my face until it caves in
raise a glass to wasted memory
text me back sometime this century
told myself that i was sexy
you made me question
do you assume i'm not as cool as i present and call my bluff?
and i may sound like an incel
but i probably fuck too much
this act is hard to follow
stab me in the throat
then kiss my neck to make it better
i think i have a thing
for girls i need who need me never
love of my life
seems we've run right out of time
wonder why i try when you're so hard to find
you don't even know me
i'm falling for nothing
i guess i'll never learn my lesson
everything is less intense
than in my head, it seems so pressing
won't get better when i have sex again

Drop Me

late
blue light
dark sky
blank soul
too late
too slow
you're not alone
tap the glass and see it crack
shatter my window
the stars below me
before the morning
drop me or i'll be free
names
take shape
my breath escapes
your name
engraved
upon the pain
tap the glass and see it crack
shatter my window
the stars below me
before the morning
drop me or i'll be free

he is The Most Fuckable Man on the Planet
he is The Most Fuckable Man on the Planet
the've conducted studies
and concluded without question
that he is The Most Fuckable Man on the Planet
doctors hate him
not for any medical purpose, mind you
carpenters hate him
lawers hate him
housewives hate him
art critics hate him
welders
vloggers
burnouts
even children learn to absolutely hate him
he is, after all,
The Most Fuckable Man on the Planet
nobody fucks him
you can count his bodies on one finger
his sweetheart from junior high
they agreed to wait until they were both sixteen
it happened on his birthday
then on his eighteenth, two years to the day
she kissed his cheek and turned away
how unbelievably cliche
to fuck The Most Fuckable Man on the Planet
this is a song about manifesting
these are my deepest desires
i'm a sadomasocharsonist
and i'll set myself on fire
oh
PEOPLE LIKE YOU NEED TO FUCK
PEOPLE LIKE YOU NEED TO FUCKPEOPLE LIKE YOU NEED TO FUCKPEOPLE LIKE YOU NEED TO FUCKPEOPLE LIKE YOU NEED TO FUCKPEOPLE LIKE YOU NEED TO FUCK
you're phasing
phasing no one
should have left your malaise unspoken
you just had to be so open
go full joe rogan

i guess it's time to slow dance
the tempo's winding down
should i try to find you
or should i sit this out?
you grab my hand before i make a choice
you lead me to the dance floor
put your arms around my neck
syncing up our footsteps
our drifting eyes connect
we smile and laugh before we look away
i start counting verses
i thought i knew this song
i'm just the kind of person
who makes the moment wrong
stop me if i try to make a joke
your head falls to my shoulder
you whisper in my ear
can't make out what you're saying
but i'm glad that you're so near
everything around us falls away
this song could last forever
i'd be alright with that
swaying in the darkness
how many verses do we get?
