this is us on your front porch
the whole place smells like cigars and you are significantly less interesting than any given passing car
i'm sorry for the shit i put you through
like, i know that it hurts and that it will only get worse
but let's stop
think about ourselves for a second
picture our bodies apart from this, away from this, beyond this
i know it's bull shit, but it feels good and i will not deny myself something that i think i so wholly deserve
meet me on the curb when you know what you're worth
the spot where i fell asleep in my head
i hated you back then and i hated myself and i needed my friends
they know the way i can't sleep unless i'm alone
but you're always touching and pushing and pulling
ice out
come apart from this, away from this, beyond this
work hard to evaluate our bodies, our options, and our environment
