hello. are you awake? are you conscious? can you tell that you're alive? you had quite a fall. i wouldn't be surprised if you weren't all there! what is your name? can you even remember? can you remember anything about yourself? it doesn't matter. none of that matters here. you're a ways away from home dear, and i'm afraid you won't be on your way back soon.

i saw you at the show, spent the whole night staring at your phone... why you came here i don't know, but i'm glad you did. ya got perfume, ya got ice 😎 you look around with sheepish eyes 😰 you're a wallflower tonight, until you slink back to your car. PRETTY BOY !!! you're an anxious type i know - nervous pervis, feel so-so, but you're a natural, you hide behind yr glow, focus on the light and keep your head low. it's not like a boy like you to not know how to pick and choose. well tonight i'll make sure you don't lose, i'll stand next to you, PRETTY BOY !!! pretty boy, tell me how you're feeling. pretty boy just sent me reeling. pretty boy, don't get anoxia. you're so sensitive! i kinda like that. you got a tattoo of a modified bear.... there might be some irony there? look, i'm not trying to come on to you, it's just that you looked kinda lonely, and i'm sorry, i'm awkward, and i made shit weird, sorry. shit, who's the wallflower now? that shit was embarrassing, i should probably just go home now, whatever.
what, you're still here?
PRETTY BOY !!! pretty boy, i know how you're feeling. pretty boy, don't hit the ceiling. pretty boy's no casanova... pretty boy, let's spend the night together. pretty boy... how's the weather? pretty boy, don't get anoxia.

no more going to the dark side with your flying saucer eyes. no more going down a wormhole that i have to pull you out. the wigglin’ squigglin’ worm inside devours from the inside out. no more talk about the old days, it’s time for something great. want you to get up and make it work. so many allies, so feel the love come off of them and take me in your arms. peel all of your layers off, i want to eat yr artichoke heart. no more leaky holes in your brain and no false starts. want you to get up and make it work. so many allies, so feel the love come off of them and take me in your arms. i'm gonna get up and make it work. we’ll be okay.

you were in my dream last night. i saw you dancing in the light. we were in an empty room but i don’t recall stepping inside. you were in my dream last night. you sang in portamento lines, but when you moved your mouth to speak i only heard the movement of your feet. i don’t remember if i took your hand or you took mine? we swayed for hours yet we slipped outside of the passage of time. no sudden movements, and no sounds, it was the rhythm of our bodies and our heartbeats that was movin’ us around. you were in my dream last night. i couldn’t look you in the eyes, but every time i caught a glimpse i thought i saw a void inside. you were in my dream last night; i swear it’s been a thousand times, and every time i have this dream goddamn it feels like real life. you were in my dream last night- i thought you were an angel. you never were an angel. why couldn’t it be an angel??
standing in a ballroom hall, flowers were lining the walls. as the light began to fade, a phantom waltz began to play. the walls were melting into sound, and there was no one else around. as i leaned into your arms i fell right thru and hit the ground. you were in my dream last night. we stood together in the light. with nothing left to leave to chance,
we started our eternal dance.

mom come pick me up i'm scared, i don't know that i'll last 'til morning. i didn't know i'd find her there. i didn't know we'd be together. i touched the surface of her skin, strip off my clothes and take a shower, become acquainted with the glass i'm holding in my hands. shaved my head and wore her pearls, pulled the stench off from my body, washed the blood off of my hands. won't you give me back my body? javelina in the grass, a piece of carrion for the vultures. i rinse the vision from my eyes, but my brain is xerox.

every day i lie awake thinking about your eyes. thinking of what's inside your head keeps me awake at night. i could go through all your drawers 'til i find what i need. my mind is a garden and it's grown an anxious seed. sometimes i wish i could see you every single day; other times i want to be where you are far away. i'm tired of being patient and i'm sick of rushing it. i'm trying to find the source but i'm still stuck without a hint. when my world comes crashing down, will you still be around? or did you fall too? well what can ya do? sometimes i wish i could see you every single day; other times i want to be where you are far away. i'll stop acting so patient and i'll stop acting so nice. i don't care what you do because i still won't sleep at night. do i want something more? do i want us to be more? i don't know if i want to be closer...
