Goofing Off

Victims in a very scary time drinking wine passing time jacking off going blind losing time jacking off going blind all the time all the time goofing off goofing off all the time. /// I can’t pretend to be who I thought I was because I can’t remember who I thought I was. Was I somebody your mom would wanna fuck or fuck up with a baseball bat? //// If I was super cool, I’d fear hypothermia more. The prophets know of what is in store for children and adults alike: Sleepless nights opined as negative. In any way can I help you? What’s coming around the bend may be your end without a friend. It’d be my pleasure to help you. Everyone needs a friend and if your end’s coming soon, it’s coming around the bend. But it any way would you fuck off? A little bit or lot would do. We’re all victims…

I was steady being ignored, ignored by the 20th century zombies sinking teeth into the herd. What’s the heard-word from the lines? Complicit as I was I was bored and tired…trying to be something that fills the void left open. Trying to be something I’m not because what I do is wrong. You can fuck yourself to death today. Cuz I don’t give a shit about the third wave. I’m dead inside and way too ugly to be on national television and I don’t look like a Punk stereotype so punkers look away and refuse to listen. 1,2,3,4,5…I’m not smart enough. I’m just dumb enough to believe in myself too fucking much.

I don’t want anything to do with myself. I’m fed up. Misunderstanding plagues me. What am I to do about my life always going wrong directions? Accumulating less and less as I keep keeping on. I keep keeping on. /// Don’t you worry about me. I worry enough for everyone and if I had my way, I’d be gone. /// Every day is the same old boring. Fall asleep when I get too tired. Drink myself into lethargic dismay. Eat too much and puke my guts up. Every way I go is fucked up. Melvindale has fucked my soul up. Fucking shit. God dammit. Fuck up every situation that I find myself in lately.----I’m just thinking of a guise to wear until I pass away. Until I pass away. Until I get away from here. /// Every day it’s like the same old nonsense pesters me into a fucked up mindset where did my optimism get off to? I can’t find it anywhere. I’m too pissed off to be a happy person unless I wanna be a White trash person. Passing gas makes for dirty assholes. Homophobes with relaxed sphincters? Nothing makes a bit of god damned sense. Nothing makes a bit of god damned sense. Nothing makes a bit of god damned sense. I’m only waking up in a personal hell with no one on my side.

Particular Scents

I don’t care about making pizzas and I don’t care about your mental issues anymore./// I gave up a long time ago when the sun came up but didn’t wanna show thru the morning clouds. I wrote everything down in a song. I gave chase thru the thickest of fogs then I sat on my ass like a bump on the log and I hope to hell Goddamnit* is the last thing I hear. My eyes aren’t made for hearing lies and my ears spend too much time reading between the lines. /// I don’t care about stupid people and I don’t care about the scent of bullshit anymore. /// Fuck you for the shit that you said, the ignorance spread, and an ending in red. F-U-C-K-Y-O-U, I don’t wanna know you at all. Maybe I am a fucking asshole but I was made an asshole by you fucking assholes turning blind eyes in post-truth hypnotic control. You’re not the kind of person that believes in mind control. You’re being mind controlled not to believe in mind control. /// You’re mind controlled. Your being is sold. You’re growing old and told many thing but you hear what you want to and don’t want to learn something new.
