you want
live forever
or at least as long
as anyone remembers
but that's rapidly passing
lifes just TV and dinners and kicking and screaming
rule breaking and dad makes you tired
broke your nose in the deep end
your class mates all laughed
your whole walk home to dinner
they stole our lunches and wrote in margins
of books that they’ll never love you
and they never found a body
so i know that when so you ran away
you went all the places you promised we’d go
but you never came home for dinner

and you won’t even miss me you won’t even know i’m gone
every time i go to sleep i feel like moving close to god
and i think that it could happen ‘you never know’
And now my headphones feel like home
More than any city I know
your be gone for research stations
you’ll be halfway cross the world
And I will stay in Boston
or maybe I will move back home
i'll take my dogs to arboretum’s
you'd name every plant we saw
We will meet tomorrow
talk shit about the weather
get buzzcuts every winter
get out of this scene
for kids who go to college
but pretend like they don’t
i’d pretend anything,
to be always getting better
Get out this city for kids
much smarter than me
Gone back to philly
or at least moved out of boston
ten years from now, wanna be somewhere warmer
cause the cold just makes me meaner i’m a few steps to seattle
i still miss the sequoia even though I’ve never seen them
and i’ll go back to cusco
and you’ll go back to quito
it’s not how we remembered
It's spring time but snowing it's a blizzard in my office
on the fifth floor a goliath in concrete dresses jarring
jagged out the finance districts pockets
when summer comes I'll write it again
flowers grow out sidewalk cracks and my buildings made of matchbox cars and everything else
it's a hundred story toadstool
the spores just make me anxious
I’m tired and I'm anxious
I'm tired and i'm normal
i dunno what I’m not saying i dunno what I’m not
heaven is a place forever
attic of the video store
theres a hundred thousand lovers and
a life like falling snow
i will write another album call it homes that i lost
I will write an Album call it love and all her children
And everyone would spin it
The greatest music ever
Cause every songs familiar
and every song was new

birds nest

clouds are made of crows nests paper doves and candy cotton
fogs made out of lamp posts tree shadows and open windows
burned too many bridges couldn’t help it couldn’t change it
even if i wanted too and i think i wanna do
something nobodies ever done
go exactly to where everything begun
god is building railroads and skyscrapers and city busses
so maybe they are natural maybe I’m still natural
god is building geysers the earths a super soaker and
i don’t wanna grow up anymore
at 21 I wanna go to Mexico or somewhere with jungles like the movies
and mangroves where the sky's just a canopy of of tree leaves parrot colors look like sodas and the weather feels like home
I stopped checking your messages
I was saving them for later
Just in case I really need em
and a hundred fifty years from now kids in school will write in books
we remember dylan we remember bedbug
they’ll all sit around in circles and clap along to songs i wrote
this will all be justified
we’ll feed birds
we’ll catch frogs
we’ll stay outta hell
and send off some get wells
and we’ll walk dogs
and we’ll go down
in history i’ll take you all with me
and we’ll stay in our nests we’ll never be stressed
and we will be
famous , like a-list

sent you acorns and buttons and CDs in the mail
i got a lot of junk
compare my room to heaven and i guess things might get better
the thermostat is broken cause the landlord can’t be bothered
can i compare you to the summer
cause both make me seem nicer
i’m trying to be nicer
change myself completely watch some tv
get some real work out of college
like a spaceman i wanna be a salesman or something fucking cool man
and everyone would hate it
they’d key my cars and wreck my plans
i dunno why everyones still trying to leave
i just read on the news that the birds are getting smaller
their wings look like scissors and down
i don’t miss the street lights but i do still miss the moonlight
can’t appreciate the night time till you’ve moved back out the city
till you’ve moved back to the country
three dogs in your rv
all named after movies
you're shop lifting and rule breaking
today felt just like heaven
felt like angels making snow
making x box
making gum and paintball
three dogs in your rv
all named after movies
slice of life teen dreams
that you swear that you’ve seen
------------
And so you still feel real pretty
Pretty like the weather
Pretty like the sunlight gleaming off the litter
In your driveway or how everyone outside is each a nightlight with their phone
Your too tired for nightlife
Just like that song said.
The one that used to play that
just made you feel younger
and like you’d exist forever
Until you overplayed it
It used to be your favorite
Now you don't have a favorite
You just listen to construction and birds near your apartment
You like it better.

i wrote an album called it heaven’s brand new body
and it’s based on a true story
of all the times i’ve been on trains
reading drowned out by the rain
i was just pretending either way
but I’m really mostly thinking
every time that i come home your in bed already
that i love it either way
yeah i love it either way
I used to walk my dogs on skateboards round the lake
I used to fall bleed out and die and it was fucked up it was great
you’d come over everyday
if you weren’t so far away
so i’d call you just in case
All those weekends when you would come to visit
and life paused for that moment or was it just the beginning
our dreams are consecutive we could live two separate lives
signs on kitchen windows say a spoiled rotten dog lives here
or a heart around a navy badge, or jesus bless this family
TV Judge mundanity but everything seems holy
i know that looking back make everything seem holy
i had died a thousand times on that car ride back to boston
what if all these highways are trees rooted forever
i’m rooted in pleasure in our future apartment
if the world is ending
at least the clouds are colorful
at least death could be beautiful
the movies never lie to you
at least it will be real life
it looks just like the pictures do
it feels like when i talk to you
it feels like all those movies
from the mid-2000’s
that still came out on vhs
i come home your and your in bed

I know in another life
Your me turned twenty two
And you'll soon see twenty three
You'll have flowers long hair and bottle rockets
Spinning hoops in class reading fiction novels
Bout how your parents got to Boston
I know that everything is changing
The world is ending it's ok
I'm not afraid cause it's ok
I envisioned that I died I envisioned that I died Every night
For a while
PepsiCo has fallen now it's CEO is laughing been twirling signs outside
For awhile
America the great America the mountain
The desert and the sky
I'm not afraid of the Arizona desert
Or it's children pray to God
7000 pray to God
Don't even have to pray to know
You motherfuckers
will get what's coming
I only write songs about songs I love
And being pretty, nothing more
You can see the whole entire city from Christine's

i look up to jupiter
she sees me in saturn
her heart beats like a pattern
or something less mechanical
our veins mapped out like subway cars
and how’d you think they get so far
when everything’s in motion
and i’m feeling kinda rushed, kid
im 21 and useless
its a good thing i get manic
a couple minutes every hour
cause everything is messy
the world is full of broken things
i still love it
and no one stands above it
and if i joined a party and ill start hanging out less
do you think anyone will notice
theres lilacs in my body
the pictures all move freely
lifes like bigger screens that
you all watch without me
can you see the seasons leaving
well, everything is changing
and everyone’s always changing
except this Allston basement
im 21 i hate this
I’m alone and i am weightless
The northeast is my cradle
The woodlands feed me maples
Youll do grad school in Seattle
And I'll stay here forever
And one day you'll remember
Waking up over and over
It's a pretty vivid picture
that your aunt gave you for Christmas
cause you asked for a different sweater
something more your color
Something for that weather when your cold and in bed later
And the thunder outside is crying but the rain is pouring upwards
And as you step outside you lose your mind your shirt balloons with water
You thought about that album
called love and long lost children
called mother natures daughter
called no one’s ever known her
And you will float to heaven
And you'll count to 27
And you'll awake again at 50
And i wonder if your lonely

When did winter end I must've just missed it
I must've slept right through it I must be going crazy lately
high up on this building
looks like the snow is falling faster
gravity’s working backwards
when you’re tired and feeling slower
if i write songs for god and heaven
maybe i will live forever
I guess the worlds still ending
so i traded in my body
death is just a freeze frame
like the last scene of a movie
you don’t have time to miss me
now times my biggest burden
we’ll die so fucking pretty in love
I’m still obsessed with endings
like a hundred thousand lovers
one day we’ll feel better
you won’t feel like leaving
you’re already sleeping by the time that i get lonely
and you’re still back in philly
visiting your parents
maybe one day you’ll stay there
when did summer get here i forgot that it was coming
i forgot that time was passing
i forget a lot these days

life like bigger screens

i describe life with moving pictures
on the road from home to boston
and spend my time in headphone splitters
and LED Bulbs pouring out glitter
it’d be fun to flunk out college
we’ll go down as dimwit heroes
and robbing graves. "the worlds most haunted"
if we back down now they’ll fuck us up rotten
so i’ll wish you all the best
when winter makes you blue
cause whenever it snows all i think about is you
you love the rain
and you love the sun
everyone’s seen and everyone’s sighing
everyone’s the best and everyone’s dying
if the world still spins in quick rotations
the world still goes through all the motions
i wonder if you still feel lonely
if your mind still sets itself completely
i wonder why i still get so anxious
i’ll dye my hair and run till heaven
time still heals
and life still pulls
and life still moves like collages i love it
i’ll count down the days
i’ll skip town someday
life like moving pictures and bigger screens
and strange weather and death scenes
we’ll throw our phones into the ocean blue
we’ll change our names to something
cool and i’ll write songs before i die and they’ll keep me alive
you’re playing too rough you’re still in a rush
i’ll grow up be something cool i’ll turn empty into water
we’ll snorkel through the stars till we get lost
till we get lost and never found
exactly how we wanted exactly
where we’d love to end it
"one day i’ll be like all the others
time comes for us all
but ideas remain"
...and so will we

Dry air helps my brain shut off
in the winter or the autumn fall
spent the day on the bus
i still call you angel
The dog ran to the lakefront
can’t afford a new one
We both fell from pine trees and never woke up
The obituaries and family letters say they died doing what they loved, climbing branches, and eating fences
guess I’m sorry, hope you’ll miss me in the morning
i feel the same way about those old movies as our apartment
theres a new type of beauty called game boy lights hidden under pillows
you’re still on business
selling souls and trail mix
feels like a series wrap on a made for tv movie
same shit we’ve heard before
its hard to believe you’re gone i’m not
i get you’re emails weekly or something
life like lullabies skipping town at 25 cause everything’s in motion and everyone is hoping
we’re blessed
we’re blessed

heaven forever.
04:00
|

today looks just like heaven
our bodies glow like angels
our arms outstretched to god
and a hundred thousand lovers
dancing till the moonlight disappears
god is a reflection of all the things you do
and heaven could be too
cause if nothing else is up there
if nothing else is up there...
when did winter end i think i must’ve missed it
i must’ve slept right through it i must be going crazy
been missing you more lately
especially in mornings
when you’re still in bed without me
i will never be a lonely spirit, “thanks for nothing"
cause seasons stay forever
and seasons stick together
you're always missing busses
you're always making fusses
you’re sleeping in and crossing streets
and you’re always in rushes
in your head but not your body
so you still feel real pretty
like the weather
that billboards always changing
that skaters braking ankles
this city never changes
except for all the people
and heaven never changes
i’ll sleep forever
showbiz forever
bedbug forever
do this forever
heaven forever
