some old man reeks of mouthwash
tells my friend he needs a haircut
mentions a daughter,
says he's not allowed in the town where she was born in
man in the median
sign says he works for food and a dry bed,
talking about a sickness
i said that could be me in a year and i meant it
i said that could be me in a year, and that's what i'm afraid of
it's just coincidence
or bad circumstance
rotten luck, whatever you call it
it's hard living
herring hands, parts missing
god damn will i be forgiven
man sang us a song for a cigarette
told him i knew him and he said that was a kindness
i think that he died since then, I haven't seen him around
so few kindnesses, i haven't seen him around
it's just coincidence
or bad circumstance
rotten luck, whatever you call it
it's hard living
herring hands, parts missing
god damn will i be forgiven

i don't know if i'm angry
i think i'm just tired of letting someone care so little about me
until its convenient
maybe a call on my birthday, but that's fucking pushing it
pitched in on a life
wasn't much for the living
if you don't know by now, maybe you won't figure it out
and even if you did then i don't know if i'd want you around
i know you saw me watch you cry in the driveway
i don't think you're worth the salt that dried on your face
when you die i don't think i'll know for a long time
if you can walk away then so can i
just because you walked away, that doesn't mean i have to
i won't take after you

i'm afraid that i'm just a few bad days away from
waking up as the person i was when i was 21
you get good at apologising
when you have occasion to run the lines more than a few times:
"thanks for letting me crash on the futon
let's get lunch and i'll admit what i did wrong"
its not a dependence so much as
a real commitment to wrecking myself
it's not a tradition so much as
i inherit what my grandparents held
will i or will i not make that 2am phone call?
saying i fucked up on purpose, that being alive makes me nervous
its not a dependence so much as
a real commitment to wrecking myself
it's not a tradition so much as
i inherit what my grandparents held
it's not a vacation so much as
blank expression the death of self
