The comic timing of your shortcomings really hit the mark And I liked my wide-eyed loose-lipped evaluation of your hang-ups I’ve got two dogs on Xanax My partner’s a bit of a drinker I withhold sex when he doesn’t do the dishes He withholds sex when he sleeps with other women I know Get me out this social sinkhole Look me in the eye like I’ve got a good shelf life Accommodate fears because you’re a nice guy Get me out this social sinkhole Just last week my sister went out and bought a new Dyson About goddamned time I felt some excitement Maybe it’s time I got back on anti-depressants Soon enough I’m happy to help him out And I’m happy give him rope Who the hell has a destination wedding anyway? I know Get me out this social sinkhole Look me in the eye like a surrogate ally Accommodate fears because we’re all friends here Get me out this social sinkhole

Can't you see I’ve got places to be I’ve got goals, man My Hyundai Sonata, my high blood pressure My left turn Now and I see That your wife Is shaken and crying It’s my god given right To stay here and fight And I fight good I’ve had nothing to drink And I thought I told you twice Let me talk Let me finish Now I manage a team A salt and pepper goatee I’m taking my wife to Cuba next week Then a push And I laugh And a racist jab It’s my god given right To stay here and cry And I cry good I’ve had nothing to drink Sure you love your kids And feed them that ward cleaver shit But you will never understand what you’ve missed Hey that’s fine I know you’re a sensitive guy But you will never be more than a Target demo Discount sitcom Home and garden Television advertisement

Carson 04:00
This is a safe space This is a union This is community An institution This is a networking opportunity Somebody help me I miss my hardships I miss my old cellmate I miss being homesick I’ve got four minutes and I’m ready for Carson Meltdown anytime In broad daylight Yeah whatever Doesn’t matter You’ve got a lot of potential Sure you’re pretty sick of that sound But even miserable bastards Can turn their lives around This is a program This is a movement A weekly meeting On self-improvement A social enterprising opportunity Have a meltdown A public bathroom Yeah whatever In a Whole Foods All this time Was old and grey Never occurred to me Go outside You’ll be okay No use living in fear

Melatonin 03:34
I try to sleep to the beating of drums To the grinding of teeth To syndication But I wake up angry Fearful, manic I try to sleep to the HVAC hum To the fast dissolve tablets Of melatonin and I tried To be grounded, balanced You know me so well How low is your bottom I tried all by best to be transparent, militant, eye contact, intimate I try to sleep with a rose in my teeth For a cold comfort Christ Who refuses to eat And I wake up panicked Worried, catholic I watched you scream at the top of your lungs On the merits of lying And self-medication And I cried It was hopeless You know me so well How low is your bottom I’ve seen worse, but come on And I tried all my best, to forget about it

I want to carry you, not the stress you insist on I want to carry, not the hell I envision Oh no, was that a little bold? Let’s build a unit with cast-iron bells on Full stop Why now Why not I’m telling you Al, it’s not really a problem Your fun uncle is someone else’s disappointment He carries guilt like a chatty, dirt-napping informant Oh no, was that too bold? Let’s build a unit with gold bleeding hearts on Full stop Why now Why not I’m telling you Al, it’s not really a problem I want to carry you, not the stress you insist on I want to carry, not the hell I envision Let’s build a unit with cast-iron bells on Let’s buy a kid or a couch or a house or something you just can’t abandon On and on and over again It goes on and on You take people for granted
