late summer, just turned twenty
and we still drink whiskey straight from the bottle
i’m worried that this it it,
is this all there is to living?
and i still feel so alone,
in the middle of a crowded room,
i’m waiting to grow into my bones.
i’m best friends with death
she’s close to me as family
autumn comes again
but i won’t fear the falling leaves
say you’ll stay with me
even if you can’t promise anything
we can smoke on the porch till our teeth fall out
ignore how fast the months pass now
and at least if we’re dying, we’re dying together
i don’t know what i’m meant to do,
all i know is how i feel with you
and maybe in the end
that’s more than enough
i’m best friends with death
she’s close to me as family
autumn comes again
but i won’t fear the falling leaves
say you’ll stay with me
even if you can’t promise anything

i screamed at god again tonight
sixteen years of looking at the sky
and my neck is aching
your star is fading out
i look for the brightest one
and it winks back in its plight
moms getting older
you’re feeling farther with every milestone
and i’m so scared to be alone
your hat fits me now like it used to fit you
and i still hate those peas, but i’m learning to
care more
for the small things that i used to scorn
how can you love a memory
that you never had
but you hold it like it’s your only friend
i can’t know you
like i want to
and i’ll pray to anything
if it means i can hold your hand
i plant roses in july
maybe i’ll meet you sometime
have to swallow bitter root
just to find myself next to you again
so lead me back to fayetteville where everything was simple,
drive around in your truck, cotton in my eyes
breathing with broken lungs
is almost worth the price
