I know I’m not graceful never been accused of being cool
I can’t keep my nails cut always run out of fuel
My mom says my mustache doesn’t quite work
One time I got shingles goddamn did that hurt
And my first kiss was my cousin Liz
High on Sunkist on the Jungle Jim
Did you notice my scar I fell from a tree
Chasing a cat I was twenty-three
I’m not good with names don’t go to parties
I never eat Brie I prefer hard cheese
And my real dad is now a woman
I see her cutting meat at the deli
Sometimes it feels like my good and bad selves
Are locked in some harrowing war
Vying to gain control of my brain
And I can’t take it any more
I can’t take it any more
