Kali Masi - Long Term

There's a monarch stuck in the grill of your sedan
and an Atlas moth tucked in your waistband

We're doing the rain dance,
wishing we were famous
Both take their payments, so keep cupping your hands.
I'm not alone but lonely
, I thought you'd never ask
.

You left the pines of your home for the palm trees

Now you pine for the palms of your friends

(Branching, Bowing, Bent)
Now nobody kicks me when I'm up

or drags me down


Fuck em all
.
Look how young we'll always be
We'll never tell them how old it's been getting
We're like painted frost on plastic trees

Just chilling,
How about you?
It's three  blocks to your new spot, but I never see you.

If summer never slept I'd still Fall for you
I'd swim all the C's in succinct
That's Long-term abuse.
(Saved but never spent)
And Nobody
Saw me get back up after you left town

You euthanized my will to fight and understand.
The leash outlives it's dog
You're tattooed into my waistband.
Gaslit by your own lamplighter.
The happy medium predicts he's a fucking liar

I'm not afraid to be alone.
I'm not ashamed to be consoled.

You say this isn't what you paid for and you're right
,
But that's not the point.
Someone somewhere tied your cape too tight
I've walked umbrella-less through the nights it was raining to find:
-The brightest parts of life are in living 
-There isn't anything I wanna keep hidden

-True friends are hard find


So black umbrellas go up and it's raining
we're gonna let you down
I wouldn't mourn it if it wasn't worth saving
I'm gonna watch you drown

To the phone calls that I won't get to ignore:
Rest your Claustrophobia I's 
They're desperate to find their consonants.
