Midwestern Nights

Shoes
Osiris or bust
Before there was us
Latin or good luck
Suspicious of cuts
That tear the core up
That basement’s all love
Bright guns and young trust-
Curfew

Midwestern night
Get me a flight
Jewel runs at 2 am
That hit my heart
Hooked right
We lawn-parked at barnyards
Tunneled through the snow our windows
Louder memories ring of
How’d I peak so low
We have mountains more to go

Benzos, messing up my foothold
Daring me to change
I don’t wanna be so fake
My reaction
Scared my friends and family rightly
Brain crawled out to choke me nightly
A tough malaise
For an only child whose brothers keep him safe

Camera pack
Document the present
Cuz the present is the past
Loving living in the moment
Build a pier for me to cast off
Watchin tokyo, osaka
Michigan and yurts and vodka
Blow-up aliens, lwaxana
Claw and “real talk” love

Shoes
Osiris or bust
Before there was us
Latin or good luck
Suspicious of cuts
That tear the core up
That basement’s all love
Bright guns and young trust-
Curfew

We grow up not out
Maybe in Chicago
But we rendezvous somewhere else
I know distance sucks
Bridge another gap
Glue the weekend
Reaffirm my trust in you
In this I’m resolute
Maybe tougher times will come
I’ll treasure what I’ve won
In this old group

Crew
Get the video proof
Embarrassing ourselves
With no regard
No clue
And we love it
Cringe but i wouldn’t pretend
Paint myself as something I am
We’re a ten out of ten
Six people in a compound den
If i make it you can live round the bend
Then, I
Wish you success from the start to the end
Hoping the freedom you spend with your friends
I been a free boy so I can attend
What my absence might rend

Benzos, messing up my foothold
Daring me to change
I don’t wanna be so fake
My reaction
Scared my friends and family rightly
Brain crawled out to choke me nightly
A tough malaise
For an only child whose brothers keep him safe

We grow up not out
Maybe in Chicago
But we rendezvous somewhere else
I know distance sucks
Bridge another gap
Glue the weekend
Reaffirm my trust in you
In this I’m resolute
Maybe tougher times will come
I’ll treasure what I’ve won
In this old group
