[ Featuring the Aglets ]
I fell asleep in the city
Almost accidentally
It only stung a bit
Because it's where I managed to wake up
It was far too quiet for me to feel fine
I didn't have an illness but I started coughing, only to break the stillness
Swallowing crowds backwards, muffling sounds of band's words outside their venues
Because I'm tired of putting strangers on pedestals
And the drummer is the only one I end up dancing to
It's summer; now I feel antsy, too
When I try to think clearly
All the nouns have rotted
And only action remains
I thought I took the last bus home, but there were two more, and my transfer was still good
My car gets twenty miles to the gallon but I don't need to fill it more than once a month
I have seen a billion buildings built in the wrong spaces
There are families (I've seen families!) with collaborative faces
Birds might die without a reason
And we blame the windows
Just because we can see them
Before these placebos, I used to take vitamins
But I never noticed a difference in my health
A difference in myself
I am still here
I don't know if I belong here, but here I am
I'm not supposed to be here
But I don't know where to go
When I try to think clearly
All the nouns have rotted
And only action remains
