Midwestern Nights

Shoes

Osiris or bust

Before there was us

Latin or good luck

Suspicious of cuts

That tear the core up

That basement’s all love

Bright guns and young trust-

Curfew

Midwestern night

Get me a flight

Jewel runs at 2 am

That hit my heart

Hooked right

We lawn-parked at barnyards

Tunneled through the snow our windows

Louder memories ring of

How’d I peak so low

We have mountains more to go

Benzos, messing up my foothold

Daring me to change

I don’t wanna be so fake

My reaction

Scared my friends and family rightly

Brain crawled out to choke me nightly

A tough malaise

For an only child whose brothers keep him safe

Camera pack

Document the present

Cuz the present is the past

Loving living in the moment

Build a pier for me to cast off

Watchin tokyo, osaka

Michigan and yurts and vodka

Blow-up aliens, lwaxana

Claw and “real talk” love

Shoes

Osiris or bust

Before there was us

Latin or good luck

Suspicious of cuts

That tear the core up

That basement’s all love

Bright guns and young trust-

Curfew

We grow up not out

Maybe in Chicago

But we rendezvous somewhere else

I know distance sucks

Bridge another gap

Glue the weekend

Reaffirm my trust in you

In this I’m resolute

Maybe tougher times will come

I’ll treasure what I’ve won

In this old group

Crew

Get the video proof

Embarrassing ourselves

With no regard

No clue

And we love it

Cringe but i wouldn’t pretend

Paint myself as something I am

We’re a ten out of ten

Six people in a compound den

If i make it you can live round the bend

Then, I

Wish you success from the start to the end

Hoping the freedom you spend with your friends

I been a free boy so I can attend

What my absence might rend

Benzos, messing up my foothold

Daring me to change

I don’t wanna be so fake

My reaction

Scared my friends and family rightly

Brain crawled out to choke me nightly

A tough malaise

For an only child whose brothers keep him safe

We grow up not out

Maybe in Chicago

But we rendezvous somewhere else

I know distance sucks

Bridge another gap

Glue the weekend

Reaffirm my trust in you

In this I’m resolute

Maybe tougher times will come

I’ll treasure what I’ve won
