I have this to-do list
can't cross out anything
I just can't give a shit
for what i have to give
well, this guy, his mother died
she was a painter, he was high
he laid a curse on me
I threw out her painting
I don't want to pay the bill, I just wanna get high
there's something right with me or
there's something wrong with me
I took an elbow as I crashed my ex's basement party
i didn't care
she wasn't there
had a good laugh--
choked on air
it's just how it goes
I don't want to pay the bill, I just want to take you high
Johnny told me a story about being a little kid
and how he learned patience waiting for the city buses
last summer i skinned my knees at a beacon party
nobody was watching me, i got up all bloody
and i think i lose my mind when i have to wait for any bus of any kind
my brain hits a pitch lifts the bottom from my cold stomach
even the dead flowers know the ground's full of soil
even the dead ones know the ground won't hold your soul
it's just how it goes
