It's four in the morning
Again
Not sure how I got here
Or if I'm awake
Built a tower of cookies
Build a castle of protein bars
Skyscraper of jerky
And maybe something else
It's been so long since this started
Not quite sure when it ends
I stack boxes on top of boxes
And then I do it again
I'm gone by 12:30
And i have the whole day
To do as I'd like to
Want to, forget
Someday robots will do this
Better than I ever could
Hopefully they'll wait
For me to retire
It's been so long since this started
Not quite sure when it ends
I stack boxes on top of boxes
And then I do it again
It's been so long since this started
Not quite sure when it ends
I stack boxes on top of boxes
Boxes on top of boxes
On top of boxes
On top of boxes
On top of boxes
On top of boxes
On top of boxes
On top of boxes
And then I do it again
It's been so long since this started
Not quite sure when it ends
I stack boxes on top of boxes
And then I do it again (x3)
And then I do it again (×1000)

I was sitting the car the other day
It's where I saw it maybe smelled it
What was blue and white was becoming grey
Green and yellow
A little rainbow
I've been wearing the same shirt for three weeks
It smells like bananas
Smells like ass and bananas
I was looking in the mirror the other day
Do at your own risk
It's kinda scary
I'm losing my hair and I'm going grey
And going curly
When did that happen
I haven't had a haircut in six months
Looking kinda ragged
Looking really ragged
Slow to change
Slow to change
Spaced out at work the other day
Four in the morning
It's very early
Couldn't tell you when because it's all the same
Stacking boxes
On top of boxes
Haven't tried to move up in three years
Feeling really tired
Feeling really tired
Afraid to answer all my fears
Maybe I'm not worth it
Maybe I'm not worth it
Do I need some validation
Do I need a change of pace
Does it matter either way
Slow to change
Slow to change
Slow to change
Slow to change

I see you there
I see what your doin'
Some might call it weird
I'm gonna call it stupid
I head you there
Voice of piss and thunder
louder every year
Always getting dumber
Could someone drown in stupid
It's just below their ears
and they're sinking down, down, down
deeper every year
Why does this make me so mad
We all have ideas
We all have opinions
We can state them clear
or we can just yell them
Could someone drown in stupid
It's just below their ears
and they're sinking down, down, down
deeper every year
Why does this make me so mad
Solo
Could someone drown in stupid
It's just below their ears
and they're sinking down, down, down
deeper every year
Why does this make me so mad

Wood door with three diamond windows
Toy fox hungry for fingers
Candy in a bowl
Pass through and go home
Big dress, vibrant and ruffled
Lock arms and dance with your caller
You two do-si-do
Pass through and go home
Bow to your corner
Dance until you're done
Bow to your partner
Pass through and go home
Brick house north of the city
Tried to make you laugh when I visit
That was our do-si-do
Pass through and go home
Bow to your corner
Dance until you're done
Bow to your partner
Pass through and go home
Pass through and go home
Pass through and go home

It's so quiet now

Ten thirty Wednesday evening
Laying next to my bed
Ragged shallow breathing
You sighed and then you left
It's so quiet now
The walls within our house
Reflecting fewer sounds
Its so quiet now
Early Thursday morning
Sixty one to gilead
Talk of how it came without warning
And the joyous life you led
It's so quiet now
The walls within our house
Reflecting fewer sounds
Its so quiet now
The funny thing
Of your memory
You couldn't find
The quiet in yourself
House settling
A car drives by
The neighbors speak
You growl and yell
It was so annoying
It was so annoying
'til it was gone
It's so quiet now
The walls within our house
Reflecting fewer sounds
Its so quiet now

Gabe Schwartz Ohio
Witness the sight of a middle-aged man trying hard to not seem like he's trying hard and spiraling in shame because of it.
Drink in the self interest masquerading as self effacing in the midst of self serving self deprecation.
Gabe Schwartz is a nominal musician and songwriter. Possibly. He attempts these feats alone as testament to the great difficulty he has in interacting with others.
