Misery Porn 02:37
Wilting brilliantly on the orange line every day. No sight, just Out of mind I remain lost on a daily route I know so well Passed on to vague thoughts and rekindled memories Show me where the meaning is in this... Where the light started to decay. Is it in my teeth like my contemporaries? I read that when you dream about your teeth breaking it means you feel helpless. (and we are) All of us Conjoined coffins Buried alive Before we had a chance To wake up at all. Derail for fucks sake And empty all this rotten flesh into the Charles. We're not fucking needed.

Carousel of revolving anxiety. Looming caress of insomnia. An augur boring into my tear ducts. Weak Too weak to carry this weight. Good intentions are bullshit. I'd tear down the walls of heaven for all three of you but actions speak louder than words And in every limb of mine the muscles have atrophied. Unfulfilled desire burning like coals beneath my heels. I should just bury my head in them. But my back is too broken to bend. Helpless idiot Forced to watch them suffer Helpless idiot Apathy is a gift The idle rot of maturity confused Late stage effects of a mind abused

Behind a waterfall that gives off hues of dull reds and aching oblivions I wait smiling with a mouthful of obsidian shards. Gums pierced, bleeding. You are the only one who ever heard my voice and told me I'm really here, pleasantly fucked. Cascading truths I had always refused to hear. I wasn't afraid to swim, I just never wanted to. Beyond the mist where water meets the lifeless earth there's no such thing as self righteousness. You won't hold my hand here and I love you.

Like a cat You like to be alone Purr at the touch Like a dog You piss on the floor Sleep on the couch Like a cat You like to be alone Swipe at the nest Like a bird I sing when you sleep Fall to my death

Tell me how old are you now? Pull your head out of your asshole, we'll hear you clearer. Did you skip every lesson in human compassion? Or were you there, not paying much attention, just passing xeroxed notes to people way too young for you that said "You get me, wanna hang?" How do you exist guilt free as a selfish fucking waste? Maybe you're just shitting where you eat? If thats the case then keep the diapers on you five-foot-something baby. You see your own face when you look at the sun, a thin veil over a pile of idiocy smiling at the rest of the world and whatever dumb fuck army you think cares about you Play it off like you don't care when someone presents you the truth: You use everyone to make you feel better about yourself. When push comes to shove, you talk a mean fucking game and thats about all I'll give you. If heaven exists, well Life handed you some lemons and you squeezed them right into gods eye. If hell exists you've wept at the gates and told the devil to go fuck itself right? You've got skin like the thickest bark, and bones of dented steel. You're out here showing vulnerability wearing a suit of lies as armor. Every single struggle you speak of is Bull fucking shit. You're a husk. You're oil soaked empathy. Skin like bark (you see your face in the sun) Bones of dented steel (on display) Suit of lies (as armor) Every struggle you speak of is Bullshit
