And here we are! i don't know what you want me to say we're given nothing to work off anyway i can't elaborate if you can't articulate i can't read your mind just communicate i don't know what you see in me but it's something that i can never be it's not your place to get upset about this and it's not cuz you can't live without us it's the worst day we've seen in years the sky is dear god anything but clear breathe in, breathe out, what are you on about plowing forward but you've lost the route impossibilities happen every year could have stopped it while pretending not to hear skip the hospital call the cemetery face-down in front of the library

that's not at all what i wanted to hear a long list before i can do anything to help i wish one day we wake up and everything is alright please man just don't say you will never get better it's not one of those things that get better with time she can only get worse and worse stood in the hallwayting for you to get home is where the void is please man just don't say you will never get better and we know that it won't help but it's just the price we pay lori loughlin did the bullshit as such you can't help perception of it and we know that it won't help but it's just the price we pay and in a year we'll get the bends cuz "no-one else will do it for ya" that's not at all what i wanted to hear a long list before i can do anything to help i wish one day we wake up and everything is alright please man just don't say you will never get better it's not one of those things that get better with time she can only get worse and worse stood in the hallwayting for you to get home is where the void is please man just don't say you will never get better (I- There's a lot I-I-I… I wanna hear about, but there's also a lot that I would like to talk to you about…) (I want to hear all about it. How did you… how did you get here?) (It is… it's also another long story…) talking incessantly battered and bruised i just sit here and wait for the nonextant news of the hand that you play and the roles you have hewn no time on the door when we all have been used (She might have walked out of there feeling better.)

and through the fabric on the cages nothing like the nothing on the faces the haunted ones are meant for all the phrases feeling how we forgot all the places she's something you could never miss and know she won't speak very highly now you see your home for what it is Outgoing Overgrown pile of ivy (And just thinking that changing your surroundings is what's gonna help you but, ultimately, it's, uh, it's an internal journey, for lack of a– a less cheesy word. And until you kind of make peace with who you are and what you feel about yourself, you're not gonna find happiness, like, even if you go somewhere else or do a different job or… or whatever.)

about

an ep about stress, about overexerting yourself in a world where nobody else gives a shit, about disconnect from those important to you, and about a fourth thing. it took an inordinate amount of time to make this so if it's still not good it's your problem now. i'm writing this four minutes before i hit publish. good night.
