Flip - Phones

Flip-Phones

      I    cleaned   my  room   for  the first   time  in weeks
And  I  found  my   old     cell  phone   between    some  sheets
   I couldn't  imagine  what  I'd  find    on  there.
    I    don't    reall y   care.

     I   dusted  off      the charger  still   plugged   into    the  wall.
   And  I    pushed  in  little   buttons    and my phone began  to stall.
               And  I    opened   up  th e     screen,  a nd  I    looked   at  faded sights
       There   were  photos of   us laughing- photos    blackened   from  the night

         And   there  were   numbers   I     forgotten,
    And         messages  lef t    from   you,
     And  texts    I    never  answered,
        And   songs  I    never    knew.

    And   there  were   millions   of      fucking   needles,
   Piercing  in    my   brain,
    they      were    driving  me insane,
 They     keep    dr  iv i n g     me     insane

    and   I     smashed      the phone    in            the   wall
      and   I  b roke   i t        into      two,
     and  I     realized     that  I    wanted
        nothing  to   do    with    you.

And     birds   f lew  o ut   of    my     chest,
   and     they     soared     u p   in   th e    sky
  and  i   sat heretrying    to  shoot      them
           but the ir    feeat hers    pierce  d  my eyes.

     and  t he      birds    they   flew  away    a nd      t  hey      flew pretty far
    and    I    never   even    care d   and  I   never    even   saw
        where   thosebirds   began   t o   f  ly     t o
and    I'dnever      follow      up

because I broke all of my cellphones
