today (no offense bff, not you!)

[amplelight]

i need a hollow-body gibson
i need a lobotomy
i need a new set of strings
i need to win the lottery
i need to finish that song
i need a vacation
and a night under the stars
i need to get laid
the way it happens when you're dizzy from the wanting
when you're spinning from the thumping
when you can't see straight

i need an assistant
a therapist
a lobotomist
i need a new best friend

i need to eat less fake meat
drink less beer
wander less
wonder less
settle down

i need to run more
and for longer
practice guitar
wear wrist guards when i rollerblade
wear my helmet on my bike

i need a break from working with children
i need a break from working for myself
i need a break from the neighbor's cigarette smoke
coming in through the screen

i need to read more.
i need to do my goals.

i need a shower.
