For a Friend

I take my time Yeah I'm a slow one I look around There's always things to see You're so quick You got such wit Yeah you enrich my Search history Well in the now Car on the road Take me to the coast There's trouble in the future For now just sun Obsession I think this might be love Flood all my senses The magnitude Of our problems Is staggering We give up because we think we're alone But it's a lie We're atomized Born in an age of great divide Ain't no narrative I can give Just a running list Just a face in the mist Just a cigarette It's poetry you said How all the work we dread gives such insight Thought my hands were tied Might take my whole damn life But I'll paint you the perfect figure I see it still So vividly That stop downtown Where you wished me The best of days With loving creatures The rain made the world Into a place of little mirrors Like a catchphrase Like chords in a song The thought replays Til it's bare and raw I sing it to myself But it comes out wrong The melody's corrupted It's full of flaws The house held not The space for me Suddenly we had different ideologies But I'm done trying to persuade That my opinion's worth your time Ain't no narrative I can give Just a running list Just a face in the mist Just a cigarette It's poetry you said How all the work we dread gives such insight Thought my hands were tied Might take my whole damn life But I'll paint you the perfect figure
