I’m sportin' crystals
Inside my back pocket
I’ve got emeralds and rose quartz
And Smokey quartz and amethyst
And selenite and blue celestite
And about ten more
I was gonna cleanse them tonight
Is that alright
Was the question that I asked the sky
And the moon said
Go fuck yourself
Can you watch the car
While I go get some poplar pops
I aint gonna fill em up
I just want the cup
I’m gonna fill that bitch with wine
And take a walk around lake Helen
And I’m gonna make friends with a ghost
And we will count our toes
I’ll probably put him to rest,
Cuz that’s what I do best
I’m not cut out for
The world that I was made for
I feel clumsy inside this big ol' body
I’m not somebody
I don’t wanna be nobody no more
We are almost everything
We are rain water on the leaves
We aren’t the hair in the sink
We are discomfort in the sheets
We aren’t the teeth in the shark
We are the friends in the dark
We are the shells on your skin
We aren’t the beginning, but the end
We are the big best friend
