there is something honest
about eating cold soup in a dirty motel room
while you're terrified
checking the window like you're gonna die
i had a dream about chicago last night
it was something like
shag carpet and vhs tapes of hardcore punk from the 80s
i've been inventing you for ages
let's sing something simple and dumb
like we will never overcome
and that's okay
seems like we get by anyway
let's sing something simple and dumb
like we will never overcome
and that's okay
seems like we get by anyway
i had a dream about new york today
guess that's my way
cold basements and cassette tapes
of history worth knowing
i'm on the precipice of growing
let's sing something simple and dumb
like we will never overcome
and that's okay
seems like we get by anyway
and maybe the whole city will burn the fuck down tonight
and i can finally accept defeat

i wish that i could fall asleep tonight
and wake up in your house
in a brand new town
wouldn't be scrambling around
trying to figure things out
i'm drinking coffee while you play songs
on a lost island
let's never work again
we'll say fuck the man
he was never our friend
i tell myself
that i fuck it all up
but i make it all up
in my head
things were prettier
things were dirtier
and every second had a meaning
i will tattoo carmen's name on my wrist
and drive to new orleans
listen to latterman
forget how it's been
never be lonely again
i'm drinking beer while you drink wine
i make weirdo art
i'll do it from the heart
say fuck the trends
this can be how it all ends
i tell myself
that i fuck it all up
but i make it all up
in my head
things were prettier
things were dirtier
and every second had a meaning
in my head
i made it up

when i was just a kid
in kindergarten
the teacher told my mom i was her least favorite kid
and there are 3 reasons for this
so let's just get right to it
one i was the youngest one
i didn't speak english
that takes care of two
my family's brazilian
the third and final reason on her list was
when it came to writing i used the left one
these things always seem to happen
but i'm not mad about it
i'm fucking furious
but i gotta maintain
nothing in this life is easy or fair
so why would this be?
i'm fucking delirious
i should really get some sleep
i got that wild look in my eyes again
my functions aren't functioning
and i've been wasting precious time
beating up myself
for shit i don't do right
and i've been fucking up my mind
hating on myself
for all my goddamn life
and the closest
that i ever came
to love was a wreck
i left it all for dead
these things they always seem to happen
but i'm not mad about it
i'm fucking furious
but i gotta maintain
nothing in this life is easy or fair
so why would this be?
i'm fucking delirious
i should really get some sleep
i got that wild look in my eyes again
my functions aren't functioning

Stay weird! Stay loud!!

and the ballot casts itself
decides who gets to the top
it's not funny but it's a joke
like feeling safe around a cop
or destroying someone's home
just to make more shops
and on the corner of edgewood and boulevard
the same very place mlk grew up
the white owner of church the bar
explained why we shouldn't riot for trayvon
and it's hard to always make all the right moves
but i felt power in your bike wheels spinning over broken glass
i felt it in our old house's decaying past
and we can build new spaces through creativity
we can push against in solidarity
your voice saved my life and it could save more
take it back
it's what we're moving towards
reconnect to rebuild
fuck police
stay weird
stay loud
stay queer
reconnect to rebuild
fuck police
stay punk
stay fucked
stay here
