Resistor

Wed, 17 Apr 2013 11:20:00 -0400

Somebody already said
everything that I could say
there’s nothing here in my head
but a great mess of cliches

I tried to write you a song
to show you what’s inside my heart
but it came out awkward and wrong
a cheap imitation of art

I sound like the town where I live
my feelings aren’t really my own
I’m trying to learn to forgive
by spending my evenings alone

and I am the bed where I slept
and I am the girls that I kissed
and I am the secrets I kept
and I am the scars on my wrist

and I am everyone I know
and I’m not anyone at all

Everything that I could write
somebody already wrote
and each time I think I’m alright
I realize I’m barely afloat

The Magnetic Fields

The world isn’t wanting for your songabout all the ways...

Fri, 01 Feb 2013 12:05:00 -0500

The world isn’t wanting for your song
about all the ways your life went wrong
it’s awfully cliched and far too long
the world isn’t wanting for a song

There’s nothing as bland as a broken heart
try as you might to make it art
so do us a kindness, please don’t start
cause there’s nothing as bland as a broken heart

So keep it to yourself
why don’t you keep it to yourself
why burden someone else
just keep it to yourself

I know that you’re angry, I know it hurts
but that doesn’t mean that you should put it in verse
when nobody listens you’ll feel much worse
and then you’ll be angry and then you’ll be hurt

If I can’t convince you otherwise
go on and I’ll try to sympathize
I’ll do my best not to roll my eyes
but I hope I’ll convince you otherwise

Keep it to yourself
just keep it to yourself
be glad you have your health
and keep it to yourself

I’mthe most interesting guyI’ve ever met and whyI...

Thu, 29 Nov 2012 22:18:26 -0500

I’m
the most interesting guy
I’ve ever met and why
I ever go outside
is a mystery to me

oh cause you’re
a dull and dreary bore
being near you is a chore
and I can’t stand it anymore
so leave me be

cause I’m a narcissist
said my therapist
I see my reflection and I can’t resist
I’m a narcissist
not an arsonist
and I’m so happy that I exist

They’re
a ghastly-looking pair
her massive derriere
his thinning greasy hair
it’s hard to see why they don’t try

try to be
a little more like me
such a lovely sight to see
that I ought to charge a fee
of passers by

cause I’m a narcissist
said my therapist
I see my reflection and I can’t resist
I’m a narcissist
trying to subsist
and you’re so lucky that I exist

and it isn’t easy to find time to love somebody else
cause I’m always busy with loving myself

cause I’m a narcissist
said my therapist
I see my reflection and I can’t resist
I’m a narcissist
smoking cannabis
and you’re so lucky that I exist

(narcissist, therapist, arsonist, cannabis
narcissist, catalyst, masochist, ham and swiss)

I can’t be the only onewho never ever gets things...

Mon, 22 Oct 2012 20:55:00 -0400

I can’t be the only one
who never ever gets things done
cause all I wanna do is strum my ukulele

And I’m not having any fun
circling around the sun
so all I wanna do is strum my ukulele

I’ve blacked out all the windows
I’ve padlocked all the doors
but I’ve got chords and melody
and I need nothing more

Back when I was young
with my best days still to come
all I ever did was strum my ukulele

And there are races to be run
and battles to be won
but all I wanna do is strum my ukulele

I’ve cleaned out all the cupboards
I’ve swept off all the floors
but I’ve got song and poetry
and I need nothing more

I feel like I’m the only one
who never ever gets things done
cause all I wanna do is strum my ukulele

Tue, 04 Sep 2012 09:09:52 -0400

In my dreams I write the song
that makes you realize you were wrong
you’ll understand as soon as you’ve heard
my catchy tune and clever words

you’ll tell me you’re so sorry
you’ll say “you win, I lose”
you’ll ask me to take you back
and I’ll refuse

Every place that you go, you’ll hear my voice
my song will be such a hit, you won’t have a choice
at the market or the laundromat
taking out the garbage, feeding your cat

you’ll claim you never meant it
you’ll say it was just a ruse
you’ll ask me for forgiveness
and I’ll refuse

I know you’ll never hear my tune
I may as well sing to the moon
no one wants my doom and gloom
them’s the breaks
you’re probably some rich guy’s wife
and you don’t care if I’m alive
you’ll never have to recognize
your mistakes

you’ll confess that since you left me
you’ve been sick with the blues
you’ll beg me to reconsider
and I’ll refuse
you’ll say you changed your decision
like you’re the one who gets to choose
you’ll beg me for one more chance
and I’ll refuse

Thu, 26 Jul 2012 11:21:00 -0400

Were you laughing
at or with me?
well I’m never really sure

Were you getting
tired of listening
do you think that I’m a bore?

I will swallow
your derision
and I’ll still come back for more
Well I know it’s
a bad decision
but I’m insecure

I’ll try to tear you down if you’re more
interesting than me
how dare you be the kind of person
I wish I could be

Well you gave me
validation
now could you please give me more
cause I’m always
second-guessing
the second one foot’s out the door

And I’ve ruined
my own chances
on so many nights before
and I’ll do it
on another
cause I’m insecure

I won’t believe you when you say you’re
interested in me
You’re only trying to get your way with
reverse psychology

Wed, 13 Jun 2012 22:49:00 -0400

I’m fast getting fed up with failing at fame
it’s been ten years and no one knows my name
I’m sick of the boring undignified slog
Hoping to see my name on some dumb blog
I’m tired of toiling in obscurity
that fate’s just not fit for a genius like me
But maybe I’ll make it big after I’ve died
I can’t write it off til I give it a try

I think of the others now loved and well-known
who came to their ends destitute and alone
and after they checked out their fame only grew
proving that death is a wise career move
I’d like to be lauded posthumously
and make you all sorry for not listening to me
It worked for Nick Drake and for Edgar A. Poe,
Franz Schubert, John Toole, and Vincent van Gogh

I always heard
“If you build it they’ll come”
but if that doesn’t work
you can always try dying young

And every reviewer and critic will rave after
I’m laid into my early grave
I’ll finally have the acclaim I deserve
and I will be grinning ‘neath six feet of earth
Cause if I just vanish to sleep with the fish
I could be on a year-end top ten list
Though it would be fun to enjoy my renown
at least I’ll look good when I’m put in the ground
