I WILL NEVER SAY WHAT I WANT TO SAY
by Daniel Bailey

it's gorgeous 100 hundred feet above
where you are now
if it's cold it's always cold
it also uhh we need to slow down
everyone
i feel like a blues lyric that doesn't mean anything
one like
uhh nevermind it's not a blues lyric
it's something less
like
i feel like a pop punk lyric
we should watch a three hour movie twice
and touch our legs together more than twice
and i'll feel abandoned when you get up for the bathroom
i'll stare at your wall and adjust the pictures
they are at an angle
i could adjust them while you're away
make everything hang straight
but it's like i am constantly doing stupid things
like i am trying so hard to be better
but everything good has already been done i say
now we are stuck in a world of stupid things to do
it's stupid to say too much
to be honest all the time
once i jumped across an alleyway
rooftop to rooftop
ran and jumped
50 feet up and landed safely
on the other side
if you stand there
i will think about jumping
and we can think of a way down
