i felt better when i didn't give a fuck about a thing haven't felt that way since i was a little kid doesn't feel better if it doesnt sting doesn't feel worse if it makes a quid give em cause for concern cos of what i never learnt only doing this for sport don't give a fuck what i earn keeping tabs on what i own before this shit takes a turn pessimistic returns, get too close you'll get burnt got too keen on getting lean now my priorities fucked pointing fingers at the sky already passing the buck like how you stuck in the mud been raining for days don't get caught up in the flood swimming thru roaches for bud one on one with a covert scarecrow ducking thunder on the run don't worry bout the fare tho fidget on the left side itchy on the other need a hit i'll take another i'm refreshing while you buffer need a pause while i suffer sleep thru the pain speeding outside my lane leave my mark as a stain ask me how i survive like i aint gonna explain sandpaper on my brain getting lost in the haze tear your lungs like a bad cough drunk driving on a voi with the brakes off had to cop the pack quick before i got lost dodging past the spoons lads always tryna act tough i see the strings on your shoulders for your posture when you're gone they'll swap you with a new imposter disposable royalty playing god to sell snake oil to middle class teens

cracks in the path make a move, not a laugh on a double digit track trying not to relapse scatterbrained again getting caught in the nettles too strung out to get stung i got some old shit to settle get it out while you're young spilled my guts once now it's on the tip of my tongue mixing bleach with orange juice to make it go down quicker i don't wanna get sicker end it all in a minute because i'm tired of being tired of being tired of being awake can't complain because i choose to partake trading places with camouflage snakes i'd rather shit in my hands and clap than play pretend with these bullshit merchant twats selling common sense and calling it life hacks i won't ask again where my money's at i'd rather shit in my bed and sleep than validate these crypto cash grab neeks tell em why you got your tongue in your cheek you'll be getting clarted out in a couple of weeks pay no mind to the algorithm listening as we speak i don't even know what that word means but i think it's tryna sell me something i don't need lift the curtain it's worse backstage it's like getting wolves and tigers to be on the same page who's got time for this bullshit aint it easier to just call it quits lift the curtain if you dare the kool aid comes free if you're unaware who's got time for this bullshit aint it easier to just call it quits

this time aint vital lost on arrival wash off your rivals patented denial revolt in silence makes it look violent a part time nihilist tryna play psychiatrist better check the weather for tomorrow new sun coming in, need some shade to borrow throwing dirt in the air, hide behind a shadow pave the way for a subtle slaughter manifesto this time aint vital lost on arrival catching trains for miles it's for the cause, don't ask for more til im pushing flowers im putting in the hours some of these man want power and start playing with their food i mean better check the news it's 9 o'clock now hear them pigs talk, they think they're the victim somehow cut my legs off, keep pushing like yeah man that's sound put the lighter down, fuck another round shut your mouth you don't wanna get your tongue tied switching off my brain before i have to go the other side this hell is colder on the inside red and blue bodies upside down in another life push past the pittance take another picture cos it don't make a fuckin difference which way goes home i do not know intuition's taken a beating it's a heavy load but no complaints, it could be heavier taking liberties with my liberty to live in spite up until they bury ya scrolling thru death on a lunchbreak it's an earthquake in my head if i told you my phone died i'm on airplane mode instead can't be arsed to articulate i still kick and scream when i meditate making time for the shit i hate if you want some more they just salivate

it gets cold at the top of the pole hung out to dry til there's one in the hole give thanks, give back or give up pay it forward or don't pay at all another day, another fall same old shit but it's under control same old shit but it's never enough swapping the water for alcohol cos it's never enough to make me full cos it's a dark room with another spin on the wall they'll tell you you're being greedy while you're doing fuck-all and when you ask what to do they'll shrug it off and pretend that the worst is yet to come but it's a long dead end taping up the mirrors i don't wanna see reflections i'm too busy trying to ignore societal infections getting sick of being sick if you're gonna end it make it quick blocking out the demons but they find a way back in my patience is wearing thin, i'll still take it on the chin i'll still take it as another way to eat the fucking rich only masters live in sin, never free to scratch an itch

about

yeah that's right back with another one. blast it loud as fuck to drown out those thoughts in ya head. you thought the pandemic was the worst thing that could've happened to us?? you ain't seen nothing yet. all downhill from here. what you gonna do, you gonna COPE? you gonna COPE and SEETHE bro?? i hate that the word "based" has been co-opted by right wing internet virgins because trust me elon musk is anything but based. fuck him and his apartheid emerald mining family. he's still gonna find a way to become president of planet earth by 2030 with rock "the dwayne" johnson and joe rogan in his cabinet so what does it matter anyway. in the meantime let's remain complicit in the megacapitalist hellhole that chokes us all because honestly what else can we do at this point? if you want a full scale revolution in 2022 you'll be fighting alongside the antivaxxers and that ain't for me pal. vote for keir starmer i guess? lmao fuck him too don't vote for him. man i'm so tired. i haven't earnt the right to be tired. why am i tired? it's not self pity it's just getting on my nerves a bit. woe isn't me mate, woe is YOU. keep doing the things that help you COPE. it's all we have left. stay safe out there
