A sink full of dishes, and I wouldn't blame you if I could. I've been making these messes long before we moved into the neighborhood. Another weekend is wasted. Another night spent in bar stools i think i love. Another morning I'm retching trying not to swallow my uvula. January the second. Start the year breaking promises to myself. It's nothing that another cigarette or a belly full of rotgut shit wouldn't help. I know I sound so redundant. Another song with no substance. But it's Saturday; you're out on the town, and I'm at home with the dog on the couch. I've always been unlucky and you said, "That builds character". I just toe the line a while, then the conversation's done. You're still gone.

Nothing 01:11
Stop saying it's my fault that you feel like shit. Cause we both know that your anger's misplaced, and I don't deserve it. I held your hand for seven seconds, and then didn't hear from you for days. And last night I held you for damn near and hour, and wouldn't you know it, this is what you've said to me since then... Nothing.
3.
431 and I'm not feeling any further along. 14 along, and I'm done counting now. I've got all this stupid shit I think that finds it's way to my tongue... To convince myself of ways I let you down. And I lay around thinking of you. I like to think you like to think about me too. My memory's not exact, But I've got some photographs amassed... In a desk drawer that's lined in shades of blue. There's nothing I can do you couldn't do for yourself. But I could try, it just might humble me. You're tired of repeating; I left my hearing locked away on a shelf. Now i hear your heartbeat from six blocks away... While I lay around thinking of you. I lost what grip I had. Two months alone on Springfield Ave. You think that's bad? You can't imagine.
4.
I was tanking all along, So clear the bathroom drawer. Sit together in silence a while and wait for your ride to come. You left your jacket lying on my bedroom floor. So I'm not sure if you'll be wearing it anymore. I'm holding out for situations I'm not stranded in a lull. And if I'm being honest, I wasn't comfortable. Maybe I flaked on doing things I said I would. But looking back, the shit we bought, it wasn't even all that good. I'd text and ask you what was up, but I'm starting not to care so much. We can catch up another time. Scratching off a list of plans I had; It's starting not to hurt too bad. I guess it's just vicarious.
5.
I should call it a night while I still got what's in me... If i walk through my front door, cause my key's been sticking. The neighbor's floodlight interferes with the glow of my TV. I can't draw my curtains from bed. I'd like to think I'm alone cause that's the route I've chosen. But every night spent at home's becoming less than golden. Idle fingertips grown tired of their complacent slumbering. Give 'giving it a rest' a rest. I get so sick of this. But I don't say anything. I'll try to get over it, And stop my blind ambitioning. I don't want to think of everything we shared, cause I'll feel sick. Like how we got a dog, but now I've got a dog cause you don't keep shit... Save for memories of some snowy camping trip with him. I'm hearing white noise and seeing things behind my eyes when I'm half asleep. No one's keeping track of statistics, but I'm 29 and I'm 0-3. Spend afternoons sun-blind and high out of my mind 'til I hit the hay. Morning alarm's a constant reminder to waste another day. And I'll waste away.

Apnea 03:18
Those subtle hints you used to drop... That while i slept my breathing stopped... I'd lay there dead for half the night. Deafest of ears on which they fell, Bullshit to me, you might as well yell out the window, Crane your neck and clench your eyes closed... To grab attention from the strangers passing by. Six months descension from myself. Five less since I've seen someone else; Can't find the time to socialize. Eat, drink, sleep, dream of getting stoned. I call you up; I pitch my phone. Don't have the wherewithal; The peace of mind to stop this fall. I'll crawl across Pulaski to your door. But I can't know for sure you're home. I'm scraping up my knees and fingers to the bone. West side dividing line of war. But this resolute, blind-staggering couch king daydreamed it all along.
