Action Park 04:14
someone told me you were making sculptures of our friends and on the plaques you wrote that ‘good things never end.’ i don’t know what you were trying to get me to see if i got a haircut would you even recognize me? i don’t want to live again i don’t know if i can the first time was enough try two lives fucking up i want to go back to action park though i really don’t know that much. baby, baby! we could take some photographs tell our kids those are our pasts. baby, baby! if there was one thing you could never stand about summertime, it was sitting on your couch with nothing on your mind. i only wish i could hate those moments half as much as you but then again, i guess, i got nothing better to do. i would stick with my dreams except they fade away. you can’t photograph what ain’t meant to stay. and i remember this kid, who knew how to laugh— what shouldn’t have stayed was what he photographed.

Boys 01:55
i didn’t know i didn’t know who put names to all the colors that i’ve worn upon my skin? and what becomes of all the others when they don’t get worn again? that’s how its supposed to be that’s how its supposed to be we didn’t know we didn’t know the swinging fists and the theatrics the burning lighters built into cars all were hallowed—sweet virginia all were issued their owned stars is that all it had to be? is that all it had to be? i know— when you were a kid when you were a kid and you did what you did i know— when you were a kid when you were a kid and you did what you did

this is not a song to say thank you for the life we made cause i don't want to tell you that even if i can't hide the fact that i thought you were down to ride with me through the rolling countryside i guess we fell out of step now i don't know what's next people ask me how you are and why you had to go so far away from everyone you knew and all the things you liked to do i wish i could say but it'd be a lie i don't know you and i don't know why maybe if you come back home we'll drive away, baby we'll just go new jersey girls are all the same except for you, you had a way you had a way to make me laugh and make me sit and let time pass but i gotta move i gotta fly i don't know you and i don't know why baby if you come back home we'll drive away, baby we'll just go

when were you dreamin and when did you last agree? most quiet evenings pass right over me. you’re just a wet leaf! your eyes in my room, a part of the room. and one day this will blow over. one day this will blow over. sundays you’re leaving a house that’s full of me. i get to feeling, if i hang above my grief, my breath won’t slip from me. your eyes in my room a part of the room and one day this will blow over. one day this will blow over. fuck em over who cares? when we were sleeping we made such a mess in dreams. you’re only boring i’m only getting sick of me. does that put your mind at ease? your eyes in my room apart from the room. and one day this will be over. one day this will be over. fuck em over who cares? so come over who cares? fuck em over who cares?

Pox 03:34
‘the air above our heads is cursed,’ i thought i heard you say, ‘it enters through our breath and through our lungs and through our veins.' when you walk away, you step on the cracks. disappear for ten days and safely come back. i drive to our place, i look for the signs: the arrangement of things that you leave behind. ‘there is something sacred in your eyes,’ i said that night. did you think you were clever when you drank the morning white? when you walked away, you slipped through the cracks. who’s left to tell you to come back? i drove to our place. i looked for the signs: the arrangement of things that you left behind. and we walk and talk for hours. and we walk and talk for hours. and we walk and talk for hours. then say that’s all we really need. that’s all we really have to offer.
