And all progress crashes down.
Despite everything I've worked at,
I'm beating myself up again.
Maybe I just like the pain?
Every effort of progress falls flat,
Every day a chance to be faulted for a frown.

Too many to count on my hands,
too many to have, too many to make
me happy, mad or sad.
Too many girls in the land, I don't
always understand.

But what's the world without them,
what's a nine out of ten; if this world isn't
truly complete without them?
Some as friends, not too many as lovers.
But so many who taught me how to be a
good hugger.

They give me fatigue,
they stick to my side like the flesh to my flesh,
bone to bone of those potentials to my Eve.
The sharpest memory, of when I do them wrong,
who had, to have me falling in love with them,
and a corny love song.

What's the world without them;
driving me crazy. But we also go crazy
for them.
I was going
to text you

to let you know
I have your phone

but I have your phone,
so I couldn't text you,

but I guess you
didn't know...

I tried
to call you

you were out,

left a message
for you, bro..

like, I said,
I have your phone..

I could never judge you on your absence.
For that glimpse of rarest blood moon was sufficient for a blind like me.
9th floor computer center with robots
  tending machines I met rebels like me.
  We were different in ways I never quite
  understood. We were rascals, thief's and
  honor bound to the broken fools we are.
  Benny boo and paper airplane contests
  and pillage the robber candy machine.
  We 3 night shifters kept our purity.
