done fishing 01:52
one glass of white wine dumbed down and diluted gives me all my lines, washes down all the chemicals ive been consuming from all this processed food. And i won't stop soon. I'm tryna switch myself into the conscious type, but they don't teach you that type of shit in highschool. My interests divide between taking my time and going back to school but i dont even know what for, or what to do. I should've made quick with it when i still had the chance. Sure that subaru hatchback broke down quick, but no one really nails this type o shit on the first try eh?

simulation 04:04
promised progression halts. I guess a guarantee is never quite enough. guess im just so out of touch. so, what do you think? never expected much, so I'll give it a solid...3 stars. No offense - none taken. There it goes, watch it and wave! Don't dust me off, I'm quite alright with this simulation. My friends wont mind, no consolation except in my head. Simulations....in my head....

Got good friends with hard opinions, some strong convictions of my own. Don't mow my lawn for me I can do that type of stuff myself. Gotta get to work, and when I'm done with the day? I'm gonna sleep. like a child. I'll be up bright and early smoothing out a spot for time to waste. Don't wake me up now, I'm not ready for that. I wasn't trying to impress anyone. I think its alright to make time, these things take time. Don't wake me up now, im not ready for that.

comin home 03:24
Fractions of a memory long forgotten. How it came to be, i can't recall. Storing up a cellar for the rapture, that certain episode that we did love, and we would laugh together. A river as dried and dusted as the desert. A tire swing immensely oversized. I've seen mountains, and a few significant islands in my time. I am so accustomed to the tired taste of David's on a drive to somewhere not so far away. Its all I've got to stay awake when I am on the road. Just like a ranger comin home to hang his keys. It's no surprise to anyone that you've left your phone somewhere again. It's not that I forget whos callin' me when I feel this sudden breeze comin home to roost some strange foreign place. When the flatscreen shatters into several thousand pieces would tell me I am dreaming? and that all of this was some scripture long ago? Legend has it there were 50 men outside the temple just awaiting my command. I wouldn't wish that pressure on the shoulders of a friend. I cannot start to understand this plan. For a moment there I wasn't breathing, I was not who I am. No surprise to anyone that you've left your phone somewhere again. It's not that I forget who's callin me when I feel this sudden breeze coming home to roost some strange foreign place.

eatin good 03:33
hey whats the deal? my poor old back is thrown out, i am on my deathbed, cryin out for a second chance at 21. I'm flushin all my dollars down the drain and i'm speakin up but don't got much to say. I'm eatin good, tryna go in heavily no dishes in the sink yeah i got dinner on my plate No sudden moves. give me some space. I dont get good sleep. I've always known that sugar makes me sick, so why would i wanna eat something sweet as sin? its just not my thing. there is a road i've often traveled with companionship. My truest friends my comfort in my mind. I have been known to make the same mistakes repeatedly but I'm learnin now, and leanin into life. don't repeat yourself. you gotta speak up if you wanna be heard. apologize right now. you have always known that sugar makes me sick. (that sugar makes you sick). so why would i wanna eat something sweet as sin?
