This day so far's been going fine And this year's been at an all time high I've only felt shitty a number of times And only one person tried to steal my bike We look at Morse code Pretend that we know Befriend mosquitoes Ignore the radio Play the honky-tonk Play the car horn Don't check your cell phone But don't use airplane mode With my Casio I'll never be alone I'll never go Away from my Casio We played with Mario One of your buttcheeks froze We played a stage show We pwn at Halo Take my piano You can play it slow Play a solo On my Casio I'll never go Away from my Casio

Craig Gilner thought he'd be better off dead But he checked into a hospital instead Thought he'd clear up all the noise In his head He spent five days before leaving again He made a new life and a lot of new friends And I was crying By the end But you don't know what it meant to me That movie got me though another week Oh I can't wait to see The next great movie That'll save me Mason and Grace work at Short Term 12 Protecting kids that've been through hell When they shave Marcus' head, he asks "Is it lumpy?" Since I've seen it I've been thinking about Music therapy and expressing myself But you don't know what it meant to me That movie gave me ideas about what I'm meant to be Oh, I can't wait to see The next great movie That'll shape me Jude looks down at the city from above And he sings "All you need is love" There's not a better message I could think of But you don't know what it meant to me That movie brought me back to reality And it made me see Maybe love's not so scary Oh I can't wait to see The next great movie That'll inspire me

The words That you told At a job By the door On a field In a store Where we worked two years ago Well it all came back loud and clear and made me sob I miss that job At first I worked at a library In 2011 in May I cleaned the place and sorted books and shelved them That job was okay After two months of school I stopped going Distracted or maybe just bored When nobody noticed I was missing It was clear I'd been ignored Well it all came back loud and clear and made me sob I miss that job Then I worked as a referee Since April of 2013 The job was hard The coaches were fine The rules were weird The kids were nice But the parents were so mean I ran in shorts and shoes and shirt and mud and sunburn Up and down a track Technically I still have a job there But I never want to go back Well it all came back loud and clear and made me sob I don't miss that job In 2014 in April I got a job making subs I drove, cleaned, served and made deliveries I was part of the gangle club My bosses were pretty cool My coworkers were okay Then they quit or moved or got fired Or otherwise went away Well it all came back loud and clear and made me sob I miss that job Now I work at a gas station Selling cigarettes, food, and gas It's a pretty good job for the moment But I know it can never last Well it all came back loud and clear and made me sob I'll miss this job

2 Poems 01:58
I miss when we shared weed I miss when we shared stories I miss when we shared inside jokes I miss when we shared smiles I miss when I was close to you I miss when I could finish your sentences I miss when you could understand me Without using consonants I made that part up But you understood me We almost were But never could be I mistook Your worried looks I blamed myself I blamed you I went away But another day I saved myself I hope I didn't hurt you I'm so smart I picked logic over love And I'm so happy I can start a life to be proud of And you're not even real now So I guess I should move on And I don't even miss you Because you're not here, you're gone But you're not gone You're just sitting in the back of my mind And in my songs Always pointing out the signs to remind me What we could be If I had only known what leaving would do But it's just me And an imaginary version of you Because I'M SO SMART For leaving you behind And I'M SO HAPPY I didn't even say goodbye And YOU'RE NOT EVEN REAL NOW I threw you in the garbage bin And I DON'T EVEN MISS YOU I only miss what could've been
