throw your hands in the air if you don't care hands in the air if you don't care alright stop lying stop lying nothing is to be dismissed as normal i ain't scared of dying but i'd be lying if i told ya that i wasn't scared of watching the possibility of my dreams being realized dim down to nothing holding on to hoping is the only holy ghost that i know cheerio to bomb's away all in a day's work and we wonder why the nights feel so lonely thank god the bars and pornography exist just for me i'm noticing slowly that i'm being steered to a state that's quite weird where it isn't really clear what i can and can't feel how my everyday appeal is measured by imaginary ghosts that i talk to with my thumbs on my cellular phone i hope nobody here is telepathic cause that could be disastrous and i don't believe in passes i'll be cheering 'em on as they fast track a process reducing me to ashes now why am i convinced that my death is so real? now how am i to answer all these questions that build when i seal away my thoughts as embarrassing? exchange details of my stories with some labels you'll agree with life is just one big metaphor for love (x4) i think the internet is a tool for observation of humans for the ones who depend on the swaying of said human psyches' to feel powerful enough to fight death a subtle science to destroying shit especially if that shit is thinkin'

ginger beer sipping while looking through the fog on another clear morning i know that the difference between me and these stories is that everything is boring you came to the doorway and said hey (hey) it's time to do something have you made your decision i tell you every choice i ever make i made already moment i was born you ask why i sound sad tarot card reading and after dark sittings in the park when it's supposed to be closed i don't mind it it's only two blocks from my home and besides weatherman said the night would be calm you're busy scraping bubble gum off of your shoe you hit me cause i laughed when you stepped in it i just liked the touch of it what i can't say now i'll write later in a poem and i won't show that shit to anyone cause writing poems is corny man i'm awfully lonely but your cards said that i should focus on the things that i'm feeling right now then later i'll find power cause the things i went without taught me lessons i can use in the war that's going down i don't know if that's true but it makes me feel better just to know you understood how difficult it was to be me the night fills me up with something i told you you were beautiful and you were pleased

Bound To BE 02:32
just imagine for a second that you're me hearing the sounds you moan readily while we're fucking not knowing if these noises are coming from a place of honest feeling or if you're acting so i think that you like it it's frightening to think that you manipulate a moment of passion into a fantasy to make me believe it i feel so lonely with these thoughts how can i share me when i'm up against a secret a taboo a leaking of seas while you're pleasing the me you create in your mind either building a shrine or a dungeon often the same in the moment of crawling to the sun from the ocean below you label your descent and you hoe yourself for surviving the means in the show all the fiends get to know what a wonderful hole you don' dug for the love that you hope you were right to say no to it's not many lovers it's one lover that you use other lovers to destroy you're not fucking you're masturbating with toys called people and wondering why you can't see any equal a sequel to me isn't easy to see in the present but set aside what you know now when you think about the essence of your thought in the tuture glory hallelujah praise to the pussy ain't everybody in on the game that you playing they won't say a damn thing but it hurts when it rains and your pain drowns away all the cheers of the crowd it's here and it's now goddamn i done went around this whole damn street all night i feel i fucked up when i picked a side i roll around and claw at the memory of eyes my memory aligned my memory aligned goddamn i done went around this whole damn street all night i feel i fucked up when i picked a side i roll around and claw at the memory of eyes now blind me till i die blind me till i die it's not many lovers it's one lover that you use other lovers to destroy you're not fucking you're masturbating with toys called people and wondering why you can't see any equal
