As the sun stayed down

the storm came out and rattled around my windows
stared at my food like a dying horse
and as the sun stayed down i walked the streets, with no light around
as the sun stayed down, i stayed out
i stayed out
i thought about the future and how there is none
cried in the spaces on the phone with my mom
did you ever think we'd live so long to be this wrong?
we can never leave until we break the walls we've counted on

there's nothing that calms me down when there's nothing to get done
there's nothing to clean up but still
i want it all gone
face away from the window
hunched over and aging toward nothing
it's me and the walls
both covered in moth blood and peeling
i'm sorry you're stuck in a place that i'll never go
it's inside me though, so you'll never know
we sank into the valley where all the trees were dancing
i watched like a spy. i knew i wasn't deserving
rise from the puddle and melt back down
afraid that somebody saw me
walk back to town, my outfit's always the same
it's the dull pain of having a body
it follows me up the stairs
and across the floor
nobody touch me
silently close the door

where else can i find the rush of a crosswalk in new york city?
speed up asshole, i dare you to hit me
i knew and i know that wasn't living
trudging nowhere in a desperate hurry
i can still feel my body unclenching
still in search of smallness, or something of the kind
still wish my brain knew how to cry
still going for walks to clear my mind
still taking refuge in projected light
still i know there must be something better out there for me to find
but living keeps me lonely
spend each night at the movies
walk home and eat some lentil soup
gchat with my buddies
but living keeps me lonely
I know that we're all drowning
walk home on fire
obsessing over what you'd think about me
the pain relief of swimming is conditional and fleeting
there's nothing true that separates my self from my surroundings
but living by the highway makes every night so soothing
the freight train rides through town under the cover of the night scene
it slides along the factories, old metal rustling slowly
I wonder if the world's still there
the horn sounds to remind me
