lyrics

I remember you,
new Vans—“New Skool”… Twin Peaks
holy jeans
pressed against your cheeks
ready for the first serving
in a banquet of defeats
they say that
no good deed goes unpunished
so you’ll be fine
a mighty white knight
doesn’t claim to be ‘a nice guy’
just fuckin’ tries
there’s not a pair of silk boxers
or see through shirt that matters
your worth doesn’t hinge
on spiky hair with frosted tips

and a lime green disc-man
didn’t get you through this
Bert McCracken
didn’t get you through this
FUBU, Pokémon Blue
Hot Topic patches on
thrift store jackets
didn’t get
didn’t get you
didn’t get you through
didn’t get you through this

I remember you
a grown ass man
with a grown ass mustache
but god forbid
you’d step in
and take it on the chin
you’re so gifted
which words will you pick
to fix this
if you’re so gifted
why don’t your new songs make a difference
when your four walls crack
and all your heroes
in the back
are smoking cigarettes
talking shit about the queer kid
I remember you
class clown wishin’ to jump ship
waiting for the moment
to show off his wit
and prove he was worthy
of friendship that
didn’t end in
disappointment
and he said, she said
nothing worth noting
why even mention it
why bother breathing life into moments
best left forgotten
yet, here we are
doing CPR
on a who-gives-a-flying-fuck-
through-a-rolling-donut
about a kid that grows up
mentally stuck
to be another
ungrateful—

punk rock and magic tricks
didn’t get you through this
the View Askew-niverse
it didn’t get you through this
FUBU, Pokémon Blue
Hot Topic patches on
thrift store jackets
didn’t get you through this
You did
You got you through this
