there's a time before sundown on the brink of the night when i'm carried by taxi to old wooden taverns dressed in disguise where i make up suggestion in the darks of her eyes and tell stories and stories of self-deprecation and how i'm a hero it can be all so easy as slowly losing ourselves forgetting how painful it feels to be helpless while lost in our cocktails i'm a witness to injury yeah i seen how it goes from bar tab to bar tab we waste in our egos we sleep in our clothes she said that i keep on losing my mind one cell at a time cuz i been strictly fixing my high one drink at a time with friends out and calling i'm drinking alone and by alone i mean surrounded by my wife and our cats in our big fancy home i lie and say i'm busy its loud on the street i'm a cautious domestic with too much that's useless and tired of sleep

somewhere in brooklyn's an awareness indeed the scene is making sure you'll always be seen somewhere in brooklyn's an invisible line that slowly pushes out the poor over time somewhere in brooklyn there's a new couple still engaged in fantasies of square feet in cobble hill somewhere there's got to be relief we can find the kind that notices the need to not be so witty all the time who am i kidding with my reasons for living here who am i fooling with my excuse for moving here you ain't no prince, no this aint your playground somewhere, its there just look at all the glass luxury condos everywhere somewhere in brooklyn we started looking and i see you somewhere in brooklyn there are princesses in white dresses one thousand weddings set on court steps with new age blessings we act so broke but its the blind eye we hide behind and carefully refine the best life that money can buy this ain't your false and phony rich daddy sponsored fucking playground

i'm rarely sure but i feel like i've been here before there's something about the mind i'll think of some other time think of some other time some other time guilty dreams of family coming after me a ghost of skin and bone i see him all the time see him all the time all the time i'm alive but aweful late i'm so impressive in my great brooklyn escape nowhere to hide when your friends are sharp as knives the city's still gearing up for something ill a blast, a crash, a storm that came from some other time from some other time some other time shame at night like movie stars in photo lights we grip and grin and hide in just a blink of an eye just a blink of an eye a blink of an eye

she was a kind of old music in jeans to big for excuses and i was just so typically 18 we got quick down to killing it even though her man was only minutes away and she was technically 17 these are the kind of brief moments where seemingly opposite components align yes we were just so improbable steeped in a world of our own making so we got a slow education in how we hate ourselves more than anything yes i drink and seek to push it away and she's afraid of feeling afraid so we take turns in our resolve to betray the only good thing that we picked up along the way lock the roommates out get your playlist out dip the dimmer on the lights down and by the third time.... oh but the second turn was difficult what i learned was just how miserable i became with no one who spoke to me but we were perfect just the two of us yes it was urgent, true, and new and we tried invented words to say...

i am clearly a modern day savior i am better than ever before i'm a favor, a gift from the framers i'm a loner on top of the world i'm considered the best in this town i'm a genius with the smartest penis around guilt and drug guzzler a last minute hustler i got a feeling like i'm reeling around it's imperative that this narrative never dies cuz underneath this disguise i'm like the worst of all time i'm connected, invested in futures i played a loser in high school for fun i'm a former dissenter for pleasure i'm that moment that you've been waiting for to come i'm the alpha, the leader of men i am spoiling for the fight to begin i'm exchanging and rearranging the order i am playing and ever weighing you down
