[Part 1]
             
Last night I d

  
rove to Harper

's Ferry and I

 thought about

 you
there were signs on the road that warned me of stop signs
    
the speed limi

t kept decreas

ing by ten
as we entered a town about halfway there
       
it was almost 

raining at the

 train station
we put our hoods on our heads at the train station
         
we threw rocks

 into the rive

r
the river underneath the train tracks
             
And when the t

rain came it w

as so big and 

powerful
when it came into the little station
            
I wanted to pu

t my arms arou

nd it
but the conductor looked at me funny
       
so we had to s

ay goodbye and

 leave
the monopoly board still in the backseat
          
took that nigh

tmare left tur

n to get out o

f town
ran into the decreasing speed limits again

What should I 

do? Eat breakf

ast
What should I do? Eat lunch

What should I 

do? Eat dinner
What should I do? Go to bed

Where can I go

? Go to the st

ore
Where can I go? Apply for jobs

Where can I go

? Go to a frie

nd's
Where can I go? Go to bed
   

I wrote beach 

death when I t

hought you wer

e taken
I wrote beach funeral when I knew you were taken
        
I wrote beach 

fags, well it 

wasn't about y

ou
but it could've been. well no it couldn't have
         
I spent a week

 in Ocean City
and came back to find you were gone
          
I spent a week

 in Illinois
and came back to find you were still gone

I pretended I 

was drunk when

 I came out to

 my friends
        
I never came o

ut to my frien

ds
We were all on Skype
      
and I laughed 

and changed th

e subject
              
she said "what

             
's with this d


og motif"     
I said "do you have something against
    
dogs"
   

I am almost co

mpletely soull

ess
I am incapable of being human

I am incapable

 of being inhu

man
I am living uncontrollably
          
It should be a

ntidepression
as a friend of mine suggested
             
because it's n

 
ot the sadness

 that hurts yo

u
it's the brain's reaction against it

It's not enoug

h to love the 

unreal
I am inseparable from the impossible

I want gravity

 to stop for m

e
              
My soul yearns

              
 for a fugitiv

              
e from the law

     
s of nature
I want a cut scene
         
I want a cut f

rom your face 

to my face
I want a cut I want

Last night I d

reamed he was 

trying to kill

 you
              
I woke up and 

              
I was trying t

            
o kill you
     
Your ears perk

ed up
I perked up when your ears perked up
             
you were all l

ooking around
              
and I hoped it

         
 was for me

I hoped you we

re using your 

sonar systems 

for me

The ancients s

aw it coming
you can see that they tried to warn them
       
in the tales t

hat they told 

their children
but they fell out of their heads in the morning
     
They said sex 

can be frighte

ning
but the children were not listening
        
and the childr

en cut out eve

rything
except for the kissing and the singing
          
when they fina

lly found thei

r home
at Walt Disney studios
         
and then every

one grew up
with their fundamental schemas fucked
              
but there are 


lots of fish l

eft in the sea
there are lots of fish in business suits
     
that talk and 

walk on human 

feet
and visit doctors, have weak knees

oh please let 

me join your c

ult

I'll paint my 

face in your c

olors

You had a real

 nice face

I had an early

 death
