God I pray for my
mom and my dad
and my older brother
and my older sister
my younger brother
and their significant others
please protect them from ghosts
please just love them the most
and I pray for my friend Wes
and my friends in my old bands
maybe all my ex-girlfriends
cuz oh god yeah I miss them
and I pray for my old friends
and pray for my new friends
and pray for the wicked
and sing for the sick and
all are lost
all who are broken
whatever it costs
just to have spoken
for the outcasts
and the lonely
I’m trying now
not to sound too phony
sometimes it hurts but
I know i’m dirt what
ever you want
I’ll give what I got.

I left West LA when I was eighteen
for the colder coast
and I forgot to say bye to my brother
I started crying so I sent him a text
he wrote back pretty quick:
I’ll see you another couple of months
yeah, it kind of sucks
he is the funniest guy I know.
and it’s the first time I’ll have a room of my own
I wasn't happy when I left all my hapa friends behind
so I did my very best to write them sad songs goodbye
I walked this girl home from class
she said, "you didn't really have to do that"
I made a best friend who made me realize
I’m shorter than I think
he said I use the word cool too much
much more than I think
he said here is the story of the girl I liked in high school
I said here is my lack of drama
he said here are my secrets the worst things that I’ve done in my life
I said I’ve never been in a fight before; I gotta
I got a lot of anger inside
a narrator in my head that lies
I got an oobleck heart
and sometimes when my girlfriend kisses me
she has to stop and ask if I'm all right?
I shake my head and start to cry
when is this movie over? and how did it get so late?
what’s the point of all this?
well I wouldn’t really know what to say
what made you think that you’d find happiness here?
I say I’ve had enough of this, you say that’s bullshit.

I never what they meant
anytime that they said
they felt alive
I listen to their songs on repeat
living someone else's life
and I never knew what they meant
couldn't hear what they said
couldn't feel what they felt
couldn't say what they said
kinda wished I was dead
when they said they felt alive
they felt alive
and Nate says, you look a little down
and I say, man, take a look around
and Elise says, "you look a little glum"
and I say, well, "I feel a little glum"
and I want someone why
so I can say, "well tbh idky
but it's ok"
I see them jerk the wheel back and forth
and it's worth
the friends we lose
and the friends we choose
and the voice I hear
and all the fear
I want someone why
so I can say, "well tbh idky
but it's ok."

Dead fake friends

I got a friend that fought a guy
that took himself out right outside her apartment
and I couldn’t sleep so I laid flat back on the carpet
I wonder if I wanna hold your hand as your mom gets
old and dies from something sad like being sad and it’s not her fault
it’s not her fault that she’s alone and you might end up like her
it’s probably not her fault but go ahead go ahead and
if all the guilt’s too much then go ahead go head and
if that’s what you want then go ahead go ahead
go ahead and end up like her
I don’t care about my friends
I don’t care about this city
I don’t care about my job
I don’t care where I belong
I don’t drink enough water
and I get a lot of headaches
are you breathing in the dust
that sitting still just seems to make?
are you breathing in all the dust
through your nose on your side
on the ground in the carpet
making all these empty promises?
breathing in all the dust
through your nose on your side
on the ground in the carpet
making all these empty promises
and I am sitting at this park
I am talking to this girl
I am hoping it gets dark
and I am hoping that the world gets
a little bit smaller
and the coasts gets swallowed
by the oceans and the sharks
and maybe also get taller
I am sorry I am lost and
I don't know where I am going
but I am sitting at the park
and I am hoping it gets dark
and we are sitting at the park
we are having a great time
we are hoping it gets dark
and you're home won't become mine.
