I don’t feel alright
in spite of these comforting sounds you make
I don’t feel alright
because you make promises that you break

into your house
why don’t we share our solitude?

nothing is pure
anymore
but solitude

it’s hard to make sense
feels as if I’m sensing you through a lens
if someone else comes
I’ll just sit here listening to the drums
previously I never called it solitude

and probably you know all the dirty shows I’ve put on
blunted and exhausted like anyone
honestly I tried to avoid it
honestly
back when we were kids we would always know when to stop
and now all the good kids are messing up
nobody has gained or accomplished anything
