about

hey, i know it’s your day, at least according to your passport (never could get the hang of living by two calendars, marking time by two clocks…or maybe i just never tried hard enough) so it only seemed right to break the silence

i interviewed for a job you would have liked, or at least respected, but you were right. that’s not who i am anymore, that’s not really even who i was, i hated myself for lying my way into that box and i made sure they knew it on the way out, now

i’ll never lie my way into anything again

relax, i keep telling myself, you’re invisible. your phone’s been off for days, it can stay off for a few more. breathe, i keep repeating, no one knows who, or even that, you are

(sweet as the summer air, pregnant with rain scent, light as the rustle in the

something pulls me back, though, again and again. doesn’t matter how often i yield or humiliate myself, how invariably i find myself uninvited or ignored. no one here believes i have any right to be here and that’s why i make sure, each time i return, to plant myself where they can see me, and then i

lyrics

you provident monster, you've given me something to live for! never have i been so unafraid to die before. i hear the bells are tolling. what's the most you could take away? what's the worst you could do! beautiful monster, i'm miles ahead of you. under light-polluted skies, on the skeletons of roofs, on remote pacific peninsulas where all hell's broken loose...silly monster

i'm light years ahead of you
