I Want You To Know That I'm Awake / I Hope That You're Asleep

I am not allowed to have feelings

Feelings would complicate this

I'm a stupid, ugly, stuttering asshole

And there is no dignity in my anger

Mind if I cough in your ear all night?

Mind if I resent you for a year tonight?

I am not the type of man

Who can fall asleep in someone else's arms

(Didn't mean to lie)

I love you, sometimes I love you

But it's hard to say

There are times when I don't love

I can't love anything in this world

It doesn't matter what I say

If you don't say anything in response

The final phrase of my last sentence

Hangs in the air, sounding stupider and stupider

Why can't you at least laugh?

I tried so hard to find the right words

But it's a matter of timing, you only have so long

To capture the feeling before it's gone

Here is a demo of my newest sentence

I'll fill in the good parts later

I'll make it fit together real nice

And cut out all the lies

Two days ago it was really bad

I couldn't get my head straight all day

And everything you said seemed to have an edge

You were disappointed and I didn't know why

Eventually it came to a head

Over something as stupid as making coffee

You said it was a mistake to ever try and help me

Then you went in the kitchen

I drove off to go buy some stuff

Which was a mistake, because

I didn't want to come back

I just sat in the parking lot

And dabbed at my thumb, which was bleeding for some reason

Leaving a trail of red blossoms on the napkin

I felt sick and I didn't know what to do

How long would it be before I could face you?

Flash back

To the first angry song I had to hide from you

It goes like this

I am hiding from you at the qfc
