Long Term

There's a monarch stuck in the grill of your sedan and an Atlas moth tucked in your waistband
 We're doing the rain dance, wishing we were famous Both take their payments, so keep cupping your hands. I'm not alone but lonely
, I thought you'd never ask
. You left the pines of your home for the palm trees
 Now you pine for the palms of your friends
 (Branching, Bowing, Bent)
Now nobody kicks me when I'm up
 or drags me down
 F*ck em all
. Look how young we'll always be We'll never tell them how old it's been getting We're like painted frost on plastic trees
 Just chilling, How about you? It's three  blocks to your new spot, but I never see you. If summer never slept I'd still Fall for you I'd swim all the C's in succinct That's Long-term abuse. (Saved but never spent) And Nobody Saw me get back up after you left town You euthanized my will to fight and understand. The leash outlives it's dog You're tattooed into my waistband. Gaslit by your own lamplighter. The happy medium predicts he's a fucking liar I'm not afraid to be alone. I'm not ashamed to be consoled. You say this isn't what you paid for and you're right
, But that's not the point. Someone somewhere tied your cape too tight I've walked umbrella-less through the nights it was raining to find: -The brightest parts of life are in living  -There isn't anything I wanna keep hidden
 -True friends are hard find
 So black umbrellas go up and it's raining we're gonna let you down I wouldn't mourn it if it wasn't worth saving I'm gonna watch you drown To the phone calls that I won't get to ignore: Rest your Claustrophobia I's  They're desperate to find their consonants.
