There's No Way

I’m in a big hurry to get out of the city
I’m packing and silent and hectic
My neighbor said he was playing a show
And I told him I’d be in attendance
But I forgot and I slept a lot
And I need to remain undetected
Now I’m sitting in traffic, in a hurry
To see a girl from back home
Who I swear that I feel like I’ve known for a century
But she lives six hours away
And it’s been two weeks
And every day we speak
For an hour at least
There’s no way
My mind makes up these scenarios
And crams the future full like a storage unit
And when I get there it’s the same malaise
I’m eating and sleeping and pacing
And the cycle repeats and the fantasy seeps
Through the cracks and the strain in inertia
With a pit in my stomach, sitting in traffic
The spontaneous magician of the mundane
But she lives six hours away
And it’s been two weeks
And every day we speak
For an hour at least
There’s no way
There’s no way
There’s no way
There’s no way
There’s no way

Stealing Is Healing

Warm air on my neck
Pairs awkwardly with
The jacket I sewed
In pockets to stow
Symbols of my soul
Adolescent glee
Linger by the door
Escape into the street
The scorn of living
I feel it giving
I glow
Like the part where the drums come in
Stretched and framed on an evening’s sin
When I was 16
I tried B and E
Most outside the law
That I’d ever gone
It was beautiful
Blazing through the night
Blasting “Refugee”
Windows open wide
The scorn of trying
I feel it dying
I go
To where I’m hiding
The pure defiance
I glow
Like the part where the drums come in
Stretched and framed
Like the part where you see sirens
In the opposite direction
