82: i only do it [write] when i need to put something down

in the morning, i died twice then surrendered to bed rest /

i know now there's nothing left to make right /

can you imagine making a contradiction out of yourself /

from "love you" to "hate you" /

then locking yourself in the depth of your mind /

i woke up as an indie song i never liked /

dusk has fallen and i can hear it on repeat, "we're all gonna die" /

so as the wind whips around the empty fences of my chest in my lonely night /

i wonder if i could have you over one last time /

because there's nothing wrong and nothing left to make right /

but the lights are blinding and i'm tired of lying on the floors that feel like ice /

my handwriting's getting worse i can barely read it with my eyes/

and i can hardly relate now to other people's lines and music and lies /

the world feels weird tonight /

could i be lost somewhere or had i been left behind? /

no, i'd just been an idiot for a bit and lost a couple of friends in a singular night /

but it's alright /

yeah, it's alright /

because there's nothing wrong and nothing left to make right /

and i don't think it would hurt anyone if you stayed one more night /

we can talk about dying and death /

and maybe a bit about you and more about myself /

and how i'm never changing because of the devil in my head /

and perhaps, how i'm never saying sorry again because this is who i am /

and to call it a senseless pretext for my behaviour wouldn't make a change /

because to say that i'd regret it would be too sad /

because i don't /

so go on and slag me off with your friends /

tell them i'm horrid and how i like pushing your buttons and getting shit through your head /

because i'm an apathetic, pretentious sham constantly contradicting everything said /

tell them all you did was love me like a fool and ignore my mistakes /

while i always wanted to make you die and hate looking in your face /

and since it's practically over now, i'll have you know that i still hate /

your good personality and your wonderful, useless and pointless ways /

to make me feel better about myself  as though it was an effective method to block out a phase /

by talking about me behind my back after denying all the facts that i'd state /

because the problem is that i know that i'm shit and nobody can make it change /

but you're too good to realise you were only casting for the "good friend" role to play /

in front of the impulsive, manipulative, masochistic kid that's sick-in-the-head /

so you gave yourself something to respond with to everything i said /

like, "fuck you /
i cared too much about you /
all i ever did was love you too much /
you keep on hurting me /
and now it's enough" /

everything's wrong now /
and there's nothing left to make right /
i wouldn't hesitate in saying /
i'm quite elated that i'd gotten you out of my sight /
