there isn't an acoustic version of the word "zap"
and that's something that needs to be fixed
but the closest to that would be something like "vuuuup"

it's probably against my better judgment to put this in writing
but i really, really want to own a casual sports coat or blazer
i have spent a lot of time reading about this

if i could share a piece of advice with you
it's to forget about the idea that some people are the cool people
the cool people that i've become friends with aren't that cool

and now i'll never mispell the words "acoustic," "judgment," or "piece"
though apparently, i will still misspell the word "misspell"

I spent a week sleeping on the floor
On the beach
In a hallway

I took long, dumb walks
Long past the point where my feet ached
To places too big to properly see with my eyes

I saw old friends
And they're all doing great
And they took me in

I met a friend who I've talked to for years
And she showed me an island
Made of straight-up gumption

I got lost constantly
Which was frustrating
But, y'know, it's the journey, right?

I'm going home
But I think you took my heart
You big, ugly, smelly, wonderful city
And all of my money, too
my right hand is yellowed 
with smoke and my 
feet are blistered and 

my tummy is starchy 
and my knees are 
pretty okay and my 
stomach may be allergic 
to my belt buckle 
and my left hand 
is itchy and my 
hair is going red 
from the sun and 

my fingernails need clipping 
and my beard could 
use a trim and 

my opinion is that 
it was a pretty 
okay trip
