Returned calls/ The dusk

Skeptical for no reason
Ambivalent for my age
We walk separate steps
We move in the same stage

It grows and it grows
This fondness of mine
It’ll destroy and decay
Gently over time

Perhaps violently
Instead of my reasons
Your soft embrace
Comes and goes like the seasons

Apathy forms
A looming cloud
You know just how
To make me proud

Please say those words aloud

Drinks in the summertime

We like to dance like that
Look cool from the back
Swallow up straight Jack

Drinks in the summertime
Shade where it’s hollow
Find time to serenade the bees

Always seem to be in-between
The timing is always nice
It’s crisp, it’s softly precise

Don’t think twice
Your face is fine
Don’t think twice
Your skin peels slow
Like layers on a vine

Grapefruit

Left the car engine running
Had to take hourly pills
Left the backseat down
For little teenage thrills

Arcades and champagne
Arguing till dawn
Half past two o clock
Apathy makes me yawn

A skilled spirit
A whiskey double shot
A grapefruit smoothie
Some like it hot

It’s worth it
It’s not worth it
It’s worth it
It’s not worth it

Mauvaise posture

Lacking the lust of transit
Midtempo-inspired decor
The guests sip, sip champagne
They always ask for more

Hysteria has come about
All upon the floor
He think he’s so bad
Calls himself hardcore

But I know what
Is really beneath
Whatever you give
Returns through sharp teeth

And he liked me polished
And he loved his bad posture
But with prevarication like that
I wouldn’t even bother

Cerises

Never not feeling fine
Sleeping until July
Get frostbitten in the wintertime

You’re looking solemn but you’ve arrived
Pen and paper, how we thrive
Rip everything to pieces

Red cherries and crisp branches
Roaring hot red avalanches
It all ends with hell
