One of those f**king awful black days
When nothing is pleasing and everything that happens
Is an excuse for anger
An outlet for emotions stockpiled
An arsenal
An armour
These are the days when I hate the world
Hate the rich hate the happy
Hate the complacent the TV watchers
The beer drinkers the satisfied ones
Because I know I can be all of those little hateful things
And then I hate myself for realizing that
There's no preventative directive or safe approach to living
We each know our own fate
We know from our youth how to be treated
How we'll be received how we shall end
These things don't change
You can change yr clothes
Change yr hairstyle yr friends cities continents
But sooner or later yr own self will always catch up
Always it waits in the wings
Ideas swirl but don't stick
They appear but then run off like rain on the windshield
One of those rainy day car rides my head imploding
The atmosphere in this car a mirror of my skull:
Wet damp windows dripping and misted with cold
Walls of gray
Nothing good on the radio not a thought in my head
I know a place we can go
Where you'll fall in love so hard that
You'll wish you were dead
Let's take life and slow it down incredibly slow
Frame by frame
The two minutes that take ten years to live out
Yeah let's do that
Telephone poles like praying mantis against the sky
Metal arms outstretched
So much land traveled so little sense made of it
It doesn't mean a thing all this land all laying out behind us
I'd like to take off into these woods and just get good and lost for a while
I'm disgusted with petty concerns
Parking tickets breakfast specials
Does someone just have to carry this weight
Abstract topography
Methane covenant
Linear gospel
Asheville sales lady
Stygian emissary
Torturous lice
Mad Elizabeth
Chemotherapy bulls**t
I know a place we can go
Where you'll fall in love so hard that
You'll wish you were dead
The light within me shines like a diamond mine
Like an unarmed walrus
Like a dead man face down on a highway
Like a snake eating its own tail
A steam turbine frog pond
Too full closets burst open in disarray
