Trying so hard not to torpedo my shitty life
and have a meltdown the likes of which the world has never seen
I'd love to be the thing I'm not.
Someone who's got it together in perpetuity forever
And if I stumble and I falter falling further from a frame of mind
Where I can find the peace to fall asleep after the daily grind
Oh I don't want to wonder if I'm fine.
I want to be aware when I am flying high
So that when I'm sinkin' low it doesn't feel like I am going to die
and in this fragile state of mind
I need a bit of perspective so I know that I am going to be fine.
I'm tryin' so hard not to freak the fuck out
and somehow make it your problem I'm not living happily
wouldn't that be sweet to be the man
To feel good inside my body
never cryin' on the train
And if I stumble and I falter falling further from a frame of mind
Where I can find the peace to fall asleep after the daily grind
Oh I don't want to wonder if I'm fine.
I want to be aware when I am flying high
So that when I'm sinkin' low it doesn't feel like I am going to die
and in this fragile state of mind
I need a bit of perspective so I know that I am going to be fine.

Gremlins 2

I walked up to a Walmart and for a second I thought
We have all these conveniences and everything we've got
because the europeans decided that "This is the spot"
and tried to murder every living human being
so they could build this massive plastic shrine to greed
Then I bought great valu chicken nuggets
and I cooked em in a filthy basement oven
Then I thought of you
then I watched Gremlins 2
The gremlins are so much crazier this time around
It's as if it was built on an Indian burying ground.

Hang Man

He'd try to lie til you love him but you won't
because there's overwhelming evidence that his poker face is a joke
He only stopped on by to see you shining one more time
before the hangman barrels in and brings his rope
and puts the conman out of his misery
center stage for all to see
he raids the seedy bar where he's been suffering
and he kicks in the door and brings the heat
He don't try to pretend
that there's any other way for this tragic story to end
he's got list of crimes of which he knows he can't defend
before the hangman barrels in to apprehend
and puts the conman out of his misery
center stage for all to see
he raids the seedy bar where he's been suffering
and he kicks in the door and brings the heat

You can see him float through a room
It's not him anymore
Only in body, appearance but never soul.
because the real Scottie died 2 summers ago
You can see him smile at a dirty joke
but he's not laughin like before
he's only empathy inside of a gaping black hole
because the real Scottie died 2 summers ago.
Cathy remarked about how he used to light up a room
and then an awkward silence broke out of a claustrophobic tomb
and swallowed them whole
and in that moment she could see that she was in the presence of a ghost and so she tried her very best to change the subject.
You can see him breathe his labored breaths
but he don't know what he's breathing for
They don't see it yet but eventually they will all know
That the real Scottie died
The real Scottie died
The real Scottie died 2 summers ago.

Apathetic Class

I had a dream that we won
and women had their choice
and the broke mentally ill
could afford their rent and pills.
Then I woke up in this stupid hellscape
and I went back to bed at noon
It's a utopia to them
but it isn't one for you.
I was taught to share when I was only 3 years old and I didn't find it difficult to grasp.
So fuck the upper apathetic class.

If I could drop a nuke
I'd drop it on Boston
Fuck the Boston Bruins
and the Patriots
The Red Sox and Celtics.
These assholes think Clam Chowders good...
WHAT?!
If I could drop a nuke
I'd drop it on Boston
Fuck the Boston Bruins
and the Wahlbergs
and the Afflecks
Seth MacFarlane should have got on that plane

Human beings don't exist to make you happy all the time
they're sad and flawed
from our worst villains to our gods
and I hope that your wild high horse doesn't buck your body off
until you're alone.
She asked me what we do
when hope is just a hoax designed to hurt you
when empathy is a weakness
when greed is now a virtue
and how they've always fucked us all night long
like they never had a curfew
what do we do?
I dipped into my savings again
to buy a 6 pack of pabst
and I uber eats'd an oreo mcflurry
until my bank account was overdraft
and you might think I'd learn my lesson
but I know I never will
til I'm living in the dumspter behind the No Frills
Starvation wage employees don't they always throw away
Expired loaves of wonderbed most each and every day
and the manager at No Frills says it's theft
but to me?
I just call it home delivery.
I dipped into my savings again
to by a 6 pack of Pabst
and I uber eats'd an oreo mcflurry
until my bank account was overdraft
and you might think I'd learn my lesson
but I'm scared I never will
til I'm living in the dumpster
til I'm rotting in the dumpster
until I'm living in the dumpster behind the No Frills
Or the Walmart
or the 7/11
or the Pizza Hut
or the SuperStore
