I've got some letters inside of my drawer

that should have been stamped and delivered

One is addressed to my ex

it says I'm the type of kid who can't be lived with

One is addressed to my friends

it says I'm a mess so y'all can't visit

One is addressed to myself

but I don't know what personality or hand to give it

I'm a God damn misfit...mismatched, but never missed much

Mr Right-time-wrong-place with a long face until our lips touch

I don't miss the mistrust, its what got our messages mixed up

Before I rip up your letters let us see if I can tear you away from his clutch

This stuff's a whole other drawer

from a different dresser I'm not ready to address

I went to the west to get my mind off things and I'm already depressed

I give up. Get let down. Down play. Play games. Put on my game face

Face my pharmecudial needs and feed on my medicine, but I don't like the way it tastes

I go place to place without enough money to put a bed under me

So I share my sleeping space with rodents, insects, and dust bunnies

I laugh at the mess I've created for myself until it gets unfunny

But I'm content in the fact that they don't expect respect, sex, love, or trust from me

When I'm hungry I can taste it

I hide in the basement

Check up on me every now and then

Because my mood swings low...and I can feel myself going down again

Falling off is easy. Getting put on takes a bit of ass kissing

I'd rather listen to myself flop on the ground than hear the sound of a mattress spring

I rap and sing and talk and write and often type with 2 fingers

The hunt and kill method

I edit one third of a word per second

Your emails sit in my unsent box. If you're a girl that I miss

You'll eventually get my virtual good bye kiss

The rest are addressed to my friends and the subject line is Just check this fine bitch

And the one for myself is untitled but...its the same virus

My wrists get slit on your shoulder blades

when I lose my grip while I hold your face

Let it drip on your golden laced silver slip...

spilling all over the place

I'd lay my jacket over the blood puddle when we'd go on dates

to prove that I'm a gentleman, peddling my bike at a slower pace

The sum of the parts doesn't equal the whole, she states

Before my parents get home I'll take

time to find the fragments of our relationship

and glue back together this broken vase.

Falling in love is easy. Falling out of love takes a bit of practice

I'm good at both without even owning a mattress

I never asked for a kiss without deserving one.

If you never saw me cry before

wait for the next time I wake up on the wrong side of the floor

I've got some letters inside of my drawer

that should have been sent by now

Sealed in an envelope

One is addressed to my ex

and it says that I feel our friendship's a joke

One is addressed to my friend

and it says his ex-girlfriend's on coke

And one is addressed to myself on a personal note

Unopened...filled with endless quotes

Whenever I spoke, they'd close me in and bust my lip

Now I wear parenthesis on my temples, step to the podium and just think

Whenever lonely I shrink...hold myself...squeezing tight

Before I sprawl out on the hardwood floor and kiss myself to sleep at night

I have dreams of flight, but I'm not floating

The ground is approaching awfully quick

So I wake up screaming for you to catch me

That's what I start every day off with

I may talk shit, but there ain't much else to do in this prison cell

And lucky for me no one listens well...especially when I dis myself

I'll fly away on a pig when my living hell freezes over

And since I'm used to the cold I'll be able to rest my head on Jesus' shoulder

Explanations are in order for why these floor boards are always freezing

I guess it'll all make sense once we get older and reach the Age of Reason

Until then, I'll have no reason to sleep in. Not even on weekends

Unless we're together, because my will power will probably weaken

Deepen my appreciation for the current condition

because I'm sick of always feeling like something is missing.

I slumber in one position. Crouched up an fetal like.

And the couch sucks 'cause my feet are like...given no space to breathe

while I embrace my knees

So its off to the floor because I can't sleep anywhere else

That's where I write these letters to all of y'all but never send 'em

It's better to just keep to myself

Its better to just keep to myself

Its better to just keep to myself
