The Meltdown Dance

Over stimulated
Everything’s moving so fast around me
Everybody’s got questions
That dancer’s crying cuz it’s raining
Just take it all on no matter the cost
Just gotta push through
But at the end of the day, what did I do?
I walked in a circle
It’s the end of a long day
You can walk in circles
But it won’t change anything
It’s the end of a long day
You can walk in circles
and it won’t change anything
I can’t find my shoes, I can’t find my shoes
That’s a good enough reason to
Meltdown in the morning
Yeah where are my shoes?
He’s got the blues, he’s got the blues
Just another professional
Misdiagnosis while I’m all
Where the fuck are my shoes?
And at the end of the day
What did I do? (What did he do?)
I walked in a circle
It’s the end of a long day
You can walk in circles
But it won’t change anything
It’s the end of a long day
You can walk in circles
and it won’t change anything

Like Always

I’m getting out the burn book today
What kind of nonsense do I have to say?
Friends so rarely act as friendly
As they say they will be
I’ll fall apart like I always do
And you’ll get what you want
But empty space will always divide us
There’s a bridge of smoldering ash between us
You can’t communicate anything
A little money must mean nothing
So I’ll just set the bridge on fire like always, like always
I’ve set a lot of fire in my day
Sometimes you just don’t need to hear what people have to say
Family won’t always be there
Like they say they will be
I cut em out like I always do
Yeah I get what I want
I didn’t think about anyone dying
With a bridge of smoldering ash between us
I can’t communicate anything
Thoughts and prayers from me would mean nothing
So I’ll just set the bridge on fire like always, like always

I cannot fingerpick guitar
I do not have those motor skills
I guess I'll never play that
Brandi Carlile song that I want to sing to you
I cannot decipher many sounds
Can't handle too much noise at once
I guess I'll always have to be
asking you to repeat yourself
But I'm trying, I'm trying to listen
I always want to hear you
I cannot focus for too long
Got distracted just writing this song
I guess we all might have to
acknowledge that something might be very wrong
I do not really know who I am
I cannot figure out what I want
I guess my head is just as hollow
as the side the heart ain't on
But I'm trying, I'm trying to love you
I don't want to lose you
I remember when you first said it
on your bed in Massachusetts,
I still just wanna love you
And that cold night in December
with our friends in Philadelphia,
I still just wanna love you
I just wanna love you
I just wanna love you
I am not good at many things
Could probably count them on one hand
I guess what I am saying is that
I just want to know myself
And I'm trying, I'm trying to be here
I just want to love you

Staring @ the Floor
02:00

I’m staring at my phone
I’m staring at the wall
I’m staring at the TV
I’m staring at the floor
I should be out the door
What am I waiting for?
You surely expected more
But I’m still staring at the floor
After years of denying it
It’s time to accept
That neurodivergence and back problems
Are just part of who I am
Well, I’m constantly in pain
And constantly confused
But I can walk the dog, I can grocery shop
Then I can spin out til I’m blue
I used to think I was a serious person
I used to think I could do anything I want
I used to think if I just tried harder
Things would get better, things would get better
I used to think things would get better
