September

Whenever you decide
Is the ideal September
To move to Alaska
And burn all your records
Leave a note by the door
Saying where you'll go
So I can send pictures and letters
Hold my intentions
And your head up high
And make it to Nome
While it eats me alive
Knowing I was too late
To say any one thing
That might've made you
Change your mind

More yellow on a Monday
Two weeks down and away
No reconciliation
For the way we found today
Walked out without a plan
But just had to go dip out
Too many days in parking lots
And falling through rainclouds
Ran down to San Diego
To try and clear my head
And slipped hard on the sidewalk
Fell down and laughed again
Got up and walked to Belmont
And sat around and waited hours
For a surfer to catch a goddamn wave
Suspended thoughts
Wash away with the folks
On bikes down boardwalks
Making the days fade away
Got lost and missed the bus back
Long walk back into town
Two hours down the back streets
Where the bridge is coming down
Late train around the corner
The color starts to fade
The year is getting shorter
But we didn't lose a day
Our never-wills
Won't work so well
Now we've considered
I could've stayed home
And tried to rest
My life to pieces
But where would I be then?

Adult Boy Scout

I wanna be an adult boy scout
And wear cool skirts and say cool words
I wanna know all the passwords
And wear a ring on every finger
I want that G across my chest
I know I'll nail initiation
I'm not religious but I bet
That I could fake God for an evening
Ritual! Ritual! Ritual! Ritual!
I'll go to every meeting
And make sure the girls stay out
I'll kill it at the formal dinners
They're never gonna have a doubt
I'll always keep the sash clean
And keep the temple lit
Yeah, I'm gonna be an adult boy scout
And I don't give a shit
I wanna be an adult boy scout
And get my merit badge in Secrets
I wanna know all the handshakes
The signs and grips and whatever else
I gotta know how much it costs
To get a shirt dry cleaned that much
I wanna say "my body's ready"
To the adult boy scout judge
I'm going right to the top
I'll get every degree
Trample everyone underneath
They're gonna learn to love me
Meet me at the Grand Lodge
Oh, I'm so in

Slump

Up right in time for one more sunrise
And I'm alone now
Days made in haste in weird new cities
Stranger hallways
Make sure all the doors are locked again
Wander at night to keep my eyes off
Holes in the ceiling
Counting empty memories that stay
Solemn for something
Wasting light for understanding
A life bound to stay indoors
It never felt to unimportant
But still never meant so much
Don't want to
How are you?
Remember everything
Place and a time that I can't quite find
Out how to locate
Surrender in kind and throw a line out
It's copacetic
Trance around me
Leave me here
And go
More nameless faces every day
Same head, same wall
But a different number
Sleepwalking everywhere
To pay the rent
And maybe pick a flower
It's not okay
Burn it all
This isn't home

I'm doomed to have the same dream
At least three nights each week
Where I see you somewhere soon
And you're somehow glad to see me
And I'll wake up in a cold sweat
Stare hard at the ceiling
And allow my better judgement
To fall back in the storm
I want to forget this all
But I will remember each day
And I will remember each phase
With both of our breaths
So forever connected
In every way but the right one
I wish I could've hit on some
Self-betterment like yours
Because maybe then I might've
Picked the phone up once this year
I tried hard to tell myself you were
A figment of my wants
And found out about a month into certainty
I was wrong
I want to forget this all
And i'm sorry that I haven't yet
As much as you'd prefer it now
You have to know my biggest regret
Is that I have to keep on doing this
I hope you're sleeping well
I will remember each day
And I will remember each phase
With both of our breaths
So forever connected
In every way but the right one
I'll do my best to be new
And I'll keep the pictures you drew
Prepare for ten years
Of my head in my hands
And try my best to be subtle
