Green Pants

I washed my green pair of pants with my shit in the pockets
I ruined my wallet, I murdered my phone
And the book of ideas for the things I was writing
Were strangled and drowned in the soapy cyclone
A black ballpoint pen with the plastic exploded
The permanent ink ran all over and dried
Jet Black proof I was stupid all down my right leg
And I laid down the corpse of my pants and I sighed

My green pair of pants got washed
And the shit in my pockets got wrecked
Now it’s a stained wrinkled pile
What I washed became more of a mess
What I washed became more of a mess

Now my cellphone was cracked like a bitter man’s joke
Pressed what’s left of the button and the circuits inside
Made a sound like a microwave chock-full over hammers
and I watched as it clamored to live and then died
Now my black leather wallet turned brown in the bleach
Damn my twenty-three dollars, more worthless than none
In a green deranged wad were my warp founding fathers
And it seemed they were frowning cause I was their son

My green pair of pants got washed
And the shit in my pockets got wrecked
Now it’s a stained wrinkled pile
What I washed became more of a mess
What I washed became more of a mess

And my photo ID
Was completely scrubbed clean
Of my picture, and age, and my name
So now no one could see
I was actually me
All they see is that I am to blame

But I guess that’s a little bit melodramatic
A book and a phone, an ID and some cash
Aren’t hardly enough to feel stressed and in absence
If they must be destroyed and them thrown in the trash
So then why am I blue with my head in a haze
Every ounce of a setback’s the end of my days
Under terrible weight, in this dismal position
The parable states, (If it’s bearable, listen)

Don’t wash your green pair of pants
Unless you think that you can’t be depressed
Don’t wash your green pair of pants
What I washed became more of a mess
What I washed became more of a mess
What I washed became more of a mess
