One Thousdand Times

I rode past your house 1,000 times
I figured I should come up with something that rhymes I haven’t really come up with anything lately
And even if I did I doubt that you’d play me
So I texted a joke and called a few times
I posted a picture I like yours you like mine
I lurked for so long I was feeling just fine
But I haven’t really felt anything from you lately It used to be No Friends but now it’s newagey
So I rode past your house one thousand times
And I finally came up with something that rhymes And I haven’t really come up with anything lately and now that I did I doubt that you’ll play me
After I texted a joke and called a few times
I posted a picture I like yours you don’t like mine Trying to move on and it’s going just fine
And I haven’t really heard anything from you lately It used to be No Friends and now it’s newagey
It used to be No Friends and now it’s just newagey

Irascible

If I stay up late and feel invincible
then I’ll wake up late feeling irascible
If I said it’s great that’s me being practical
It’s not that great it’s just the principle
So I stayed up late cause I was skeptical
and I couldn’t wait it seemed pretty logical
I said it’s fake I’ll have to remind these fools and I should not eat but you’re irreversible
So I took the bait it wasn’t impossible
and I showed my face not that remarkable
I see a space I’ll say just park it’s cool
I cannot wait to remind these fools
I should not wait to remind these fools

That’s The Thing

She didn’t come around for a while
at least two earrings at least three styles
at least ball bearings at peace with wildings at least stop staring at least fake smiling that baby just be ballin’
turn it around and turn it like it’s stallin’ heard it around I think his name is Colin Berning it down and tweeting Henry Rollins Colin why you choosy?
Cruising around the simple hot to doozies wondering now my age the wage the floozie The hot shit now Would you like a Koozie? Baby that’s the thing

Ride Around

I’d ride around town and the feeling was awesome and I’d ride around town a semi-famous apostle
I rode around town and I felt just awful
I rode about town and I thought about pasta
I started to write it down and it started to soften
I showed up downtown but it felt like a coffin
I slowed the slow down it felt like a fossil
I showed the the go round and then we started to fondle I showed the show around it was a debacle
I rode around town at least I ate tacos
I ride around and it feels like a muscle
I put my phone down it feels like a novel
I ride around town and
I ride around town and
I ride around town and the feeling was awesome

Street Record
You should make it a street record those are the only ones that count
Forgive your bad records with increasing dope amounts
Fleecing the fad suckers mentioning the positive meeting your mother leaning donations deposited
Force them to leave and never lead on a bullet train only a quarter believed you were pissing in an kissing rain
A beleaguered refrain you’re out on the hunt again
It was neither the shame or lying to your best friends again
No need for difference or any notes of dissonance
Its a league of mannequins polar bears eating penguins
And I rode past your house like a billion fricking times

Tableaus and Auteurs

Mind of auteur but speech like a clone
measured but many you stall for a bone
a sheep you can’t carry you’re awesome but alone you keep what you carry it’s measured in stones memories are scary are they carried alone memories are sharing are they scarier alone Remember Jim Carrey three photos on the phone memory is varied more often alone
symmetry is parried a whiff of cologne
you pick a single a berry a speck and some foam and it Used to Be
newagey
uh huh
newagey
It was meant for designed and on repeat
preferably on loop going round the street
and I was on an off scoots round and round the beat not sure if I’ll lose but I’ll surely bleed
not sending any nudes but I’m speaking memes Tropes, tableaus, tattoos on your feet
I can’t sing the blues I can hardly speak
I won’t sing the blues I can barely speak and
she said pay this song on repeat and
play this and go down the street and
play this song loop down the street and
play this one song and then come back to me
