Cheery Menthol from Kicking by ness lake

I think it's terrifying
I think it is quite scary
That as the seasons change my breath it goes to menthol cherry
I’ve got an IV of black coffee and my throats too sore to smoke
Yet I romanticize the two because it makes me feel composed
I’m power washing paint
To prepare for new coats
I’m buying salt to season pavement
I’ve been layering my clothes
The winter’s harsh on warm bodies
My heart's still pumping heat
I want to watch Fight Club with your dad again on dvd
And he’ll say that

I want you to hit me as hard as you can
I want it to hurt I want to feel like the man
That my father intended on taking his name
Creating a family and filling his frames

I’ve got paintings on the wall with artist's names I can't pronounce
You know that when I write these songs I get caught up in the pronouns
It's the way that I write these things that I feel that lets me step back and
say that

You’re being dramatic
Misanthropy is trite
Write a happy song for once
Well I think that I might
I’m putting postage on bad poetry
I’m too afraid to send
You know that i want to watch Fight Club with your dad again

I want you to hit me as hard as you can
I want it to hurt I want to feel like the man
That my father intended on taking his name
Creating a family and filling his frames
