Just Us (A Reprise for Robert Who Will Never Be Forgotten) - Milo

I swear to goodness I have no fear of failure

A&E will always hold my place as a commercial Whaler

Every mistake I have ever made has an inexplicable beauty you overachievers

could never replace

I’m not sorry that I failed you and I’ll unabashedly crawl back under the rock

I hail to

I waste a lot of time cruising Wikipedia entries locating algorithms that’ll

make me famous like Fonzworth Bentley

I don’t want to wear technicolour bowties

I’m sure you could surmise I’m not the type to ghost write

I was the kid memorizing Danger Mouse in my tree house

A mansion is a place with plenty of couch space for all my friends

Real brothers don’t mind if you’re an hour late to make amends

But none the less I am an hour late

Under a fig tree meditating on Schopenhaeur’s face

Ashy-handed bandwagon of one

What have I done

What have I done

This sadness is too real

I keep contorting my jawline like blue steel

Remember after class

Stealing muffins and it was nothing

We would laugh

My god, My god robbed Rob of his life force

Replaying the entire scene from my high horse

Passing blue bottles of Polo Sport before our night course

Remember trips to Bigstar in the back of Martin’s Beamer

Remember cigarello burns and ernest eyed dreamers

Remember Kenosha public school politics

Remember Rob telling me to never apologize for shit

Remember learning to let our freak flag fly

We cursed the sky and say we’d never die

And then you died

And then I blamed myself

And I blamed everybody you had ever met

And I channeled that into shitty rap songs for the internet

Then I smoked a corn cob pipe for a couple months

And felt my inner light grow dull like it never was

Now kids write me about being their favorite rapper

And I’m the asshole who gets to live forever after

You don’t want me to pull memories from way back

Because you aint got the necessary Jiggawatts in that Mayback

You don’t want me to pull memories from way back

Because you aint got the necessary Jiggawatts in that Mayback

You don’t want me to pull memories from way back

Because you aint got the necessary Jiggawatts in that Mayback

Then I got these tattoos to prove that I too could last forever

Then I got these tattoos to prove that I too could last forever

Then I got these tattoos to prove that I too could last forever

Then I got these tattoos to prove that I too could last forever

I miss You

The English language dictates that we speak of you in past tense

Can you cross the river Styx with only a mere half-a-pence

I don’t know the answers

I just know the dances

And I swear to God I cry when I look through the pictoral display
