Canon Fiction

Come back dogs and cats, well I fucked up
Your owners do love you, they really do love you
Well I thought that they were filling companion shaped boxes
But now I can see it was all true
I want to invest myself in something that can never hate me
I want to choose the name by myself, I want to write the back story

Well I don't want wifi
I just want children
And I no longer want to feel nostalgic
When I'm walking around a campus
Being the last one alone in the moved-out house was depressing
But every time that I'm back in Berkeley
I still drive by and look in the window to see if it's empty
And each September less of my friends
Will wish me a happy birthday on Facebook
The very definition of insignificant bullshit but still it bums me out

Well I wrote on their walls in a blood-tipped tiger's tail
Three pieces of evidence that none of this is real
One - I am typing this on a plane to Japan and
Two - well-meaning guys agreed to be in my band and
Three - when they designed this place they forgot to erase
Some of the boundaries between dimensions
Mentioned in a comment in passing to a starlet in training
Who became engaged to an aggressive
Amphetamine addict hiding in his attic
A novel he wrote at 15 about his manic depression
Regarding the lessons we learned from the great war
Being forgotten on the message boards
Of the threads stitching together clever PS's
To A Farewell to Arms where Henry remarries
But Dumbledore's gay appends JK Rowling
Well I'm sure if Joyce had Twitter then Bloom would be muslim
And you ask me why there hasn't been any canon fiction
Since A Clockwork Orange
When I was 19 I was trying to be the next JD Salinger
And then when I was 22 I was applying to be a corporate engineer
Well The Bay said
"Lose your Pacific dreams"
"Lose your Pacific dreams"
So now I'm spent
And my eyes are mounted submachine guns
Sighted down my own trench
