Dystopian Novels
02:50

I like to surround myself
with people who read
Fahrenheit and 84
and Wild Seed
Sometimes I don't wanna to think
about reality
Just wanna bang on the bongos
like a fuckin' chimpanzee
I read dystopian novels
To keep my head straight
I am guilty of thought crimes
They'll have to send me away
I read dystopian novels
To ward off the squares
The right place in the wrong time

Public Enemy

I have a tendency to let things slide
When shit gets real I want to run and hide
Problems don't go away; they compile and confound
If it was sink or swim I would drown
I have a philosophy; is you life worth the pain?
I'm seein' to a degree that you can't get in college
Old man take a look at my life. I'm a lot like you
Public Enemy #1

Drinkin' beer by the river soon
Scent of pines... I miss you
I'll be cooking a steak on the fire
out in the trees
Once I get window
From responsibilities
I'll be lookin' for a way outta Dodge
like a thief
Drinkin' whiskey in the mountains soon
Scent of pines... hallelujah
I need to be under the light
of the moon
Once I get a window
Of opportunity
I'll be blowin' this joint
like Easy E

Snoozer

Been waiting for so long it seems like forever
Waiting forever it's been so long
Sort of like I've been dreamin' never waking up
Been pushin' snooze and never seeing the light
Been wastin' my time waitin' for that rhyme
You can wait forever it'll never come
Been biddin' my time waitin' for a reason
To get up and find my way through the slime
You gave me a reason

Today's the day to burn the flag
If you didn't do it yesterday
If you did then good
If you didn't then you should
Today's the day to burn the flag
Of the United States of America
If you did then great
If you didn't why wait?

Send SASE
01:49
|

|
Take a break
From what's in plain sight
and breathe
Spend time with friends
Take time
to grieve
Send a letter to yourself
Titled 'Nothing new'
Lick yr wounds
and get by
Take a look
At yr heartache
and live
Tear off the bandage
Order take-out
and survive

Manic Moon

Feels like a manic moon to me
Sounds like a Danzig song in my head
I feel the pull but I don't know shit
About astronomy or physics
So more about the moon.. is it me?
Or is everyone crazy today?
I feel the pull but I haven't a clue
About the spells of wizards

New Chapter

Said goodbye to a part of me I once knew
Turned the pages to a chapter anew
Jinxed myself when I said it'd be okay
Should have seen it coming from miles away
People say the change is good
Please don't me be misunderstood
I'd try to change the world if I could
The changes that I'm seein' ain't lookin' good
Timing is everything it ain't on my side
Need a pinch of salt for my humble pie
Mistakes I've made I can't deny
Maybe we'll never see eye to eye
