I MADE A PACT WITH AMY i made a pact with amy but she packed me for a ride got caught a little lazy let my fly too loosely slide i hooked on to the damage and weighed anchor with high tide but now i’m feeling better for a while but now i’m feeling better for a while i thought she would be crazy but she thought like suicide her eyes hung tunneled heavy with huge tears too hard to hide four hours for every second didn’t think she would subside but now i’m feeling better for a while but now i’m feeling better for a while i defend my dentist lady by the tooth holes in her smile in mind a bee keeps honey to look forward to the hive much more than probably maybe in my eyes most likely blind but now i’m feeling better for a while but now i’m feeling better for a while

ON THE MOON 02:34
ON THE MOON i found my-self here on the-moon with-nothing left to-do la-menting the re-gret for-all the things i-never-do and never will be done and wondering in the end if all would be the same - this is just who i am i found my-self here on the sun not knowing if i won would things be better then or whether when it’s done that things would be the same - this is just who i am i find myself here in this room with nothing left to do but sit and count the dew drops dripping from the roof there is no one to blame - this is just who i am

diary of a decomposing dog
