I was quiet at my Uncle Jim’s funeral
Had a chance to speak but couldn’t do it
typical.
Loquacious on the mic
but when it matters I am pitiful—
Same thing when my dad died
didn’t say word
Put his ashes in the river
And just stood there—
And watched the water wash away
Like he was never put there—
Frog in my gullet it’s genetics I think
How I’m always choking up
Whenever I am on the brink
always throwing kitchen sinks
so I don’t really have to think—
Trying to carve a little bit of solace
In a world that doesn’t promise
you a goddamn thing.
Not a thing.
Verse 2
I don’t wanna live forever
I just wanna live better
Be Honest with myself
Stop tryna be clever—
Thought I had the worlds address
But I don’t even know the weather.
Couldn’t see the plain sign that maybe
I should find a sweater—
Pile on the pressure when I realize
that I am the oppressor—
Never know what you control
Until you untether
put it back together
But be careful
What you measure—
I’m the sum of my parts
And I ain’t letting
Weak moments
Tell me I am any lessor
World I surrender
Cut me open with a feather
I bleed…
