house of balloons / glass table girls

you can tell when you meet someone at a party and they only care about sex

just like you 

you can tell when it's the only thing on their mind, the low hum behind everything always

it's usually obvious


you can tell even when it's at your nephews 9-year-old birthday party,

the compulsion doesn't change.

you can tell even if you haven't seen eachother since high school 


you knew it then and you know it now.


and so you leave the birthday party early

drunk on your bike and swerving

because you don't trust yourself to act right


i need to act right i need to act right i need to act right

my biggest wound is about not acting right


sex is a dead end and i know that now.

but do i trust myself to know that forever?
