an airplane to the moon
things won’t go back to the way they were
caught in an impossible position
the world I was born in, is gone
you suffer, while angels cry
sailing around the world on the Gulf Stream
names that are normal no more
pulled out of the wreckage of your life
in the bleached, frozen wastes, we found god

constantly talking, but saying nothing
I feel like all my dreams are broken
useless angels look down from the sky
like something from a Disney movie
I feel like I’m wasting my time
all they have are platitudes
empty words that mean nothing
empty words that achieve nothing
empty words that commit to nothing

a fake friend
here no one knows your name
dolts upstairs making a ruckus
Life is not like a diamond
crying on the airplane
purposelessness
a saint from Elsewhere
smurfs and serfs
we’re just colonies in the periphery

the big step
flying under Friendly Skies
a nobody from nowhere
passed over by Greatness
if there’s a cake, it’s going to be smashed
you always think of yourself as a young person
saying goodbye to the guilt you had
the Sad Team
landlocked in the past

a frog on another planet
the existential weekend
the one who mourns
your whole life in an email inbox
