Car Seat Headrest: Way ahead of the curve

Published: Nov 28, 2015



Biting my clothes to keep from screaming
taking pills to keep from dreaming
I want to break something important
I want to kick my dad in the shins

I was referring to the present in past tense
it was the only way that I could survive it
I want to close my head in the car door
I want to sing this song like I’m dying

heavy boots on my throat, I need
I need something soon I need something soon….
