Lounging at the lake of the Pacific, 
I see you walkin down the road
   Tangerines in your hair
I see you walkin down the road 

you can’t be everything for everyone. 
always ask permission. 
always ask forgiveness. 

it’s a fact of amerikan life 
that you’re on your own 
and nobody gonna swoop in
and save you, not even yr own 
mama, cuz she lookin out for herself 
and she’s done enuf 4u already. 

you may not dig the philosophy
but it’s the standard approach 
in these united states. 

social media is the devil 
i am her mistress. 

it’s okay to let go. 
it’s okay to hold on. 
it’s okay to cry too much
or not at all. 

the times you don’t speak
are the times you will regret 
the most. 

capitalism is eating everything 
and the masses hold the key. 

we have to build it 
and not be afraid 
to die
so that we may live. 

to the woman who was not yet
to the woman who was not yet

dearie you are doing well 
in the next life you’re fine
smoking weed / sipping wine
baby you’re all right don’t 
worry so much all the time 

you had her love
you had it
but you wasn’t happy
why? figure it out 
and get back to me 

reciprocity!
i want the same same
dish for dish and
do for do, feel me? 

i wanna be your woman again 
but not your wife 
and not your mommy
i wanna be your woman again
