Rise and shine, Today is our day.
We'll get our laptops out and we'll preach about change
and everything wrong with the world.
It's a shithole, but we think we can fix it.
We're so lost and so separated.
We want friends but we don't care about names until they're famous.
We'll whine and we'll complain when they say they dont remember the days
when we were friends, yet we won't attempt to prevent it.
We won't take the blame for our faults
We refuse to be held responsible
We'll reject the truth if we feel we need to
It's reassuring to know that we're living life guilt free
Im better than you. Im not judgmental, I'm not conceited.
Im just so much better than you.
I can't stand hypocrites, and I can't stand hateful fucks.
But if you don't have a tumblr I don't know why you're alive.
We won't take the blame for our faults
We refuse to be held responsible
We'll reject the truth if we feel we need to
It's reassuring to know that we're living life guilt free
God knows that something's wrong.
God knows there's something wrong with the things we focus on.Rise and shine, Today is our day.

Wet Stoges

I used to care about getting things done and being ambitious.
Now my conscious is nonexistent.
Simply robot, flawed without intendment.
A cup of coffee thats too cold to drink.
Why don't you heat me up?
A pack of cigarettes that got left in the rain.
You might as well throw me out.
Because I'm up and I'm out.
And I'll scream and I'll shout that I'm going back to who I once was.
Maybe I'll get myself to care about getting things done again.
I'll find my direction, this time, with persistence.
My mind is set, and it's the only chance I have left.
I won't fuck this up.
A cup of coffee thats too cold to drink.
Why don't you heat me up?
A pack of cigarettes that got left in the rain.
You might as well throw me out.
Reminded of how hard it is to compete with apathy.
Torn between caring and not caring enough.
And I'll keep saying it till I'm dead,
"Man life is just so tough."
When my minds thinking of this it makes me feel bummed.
I'm bummed.
I'm getting bummed.
Like wet stoges.
I'm bummed like wet stoges.

Fool's Paradise

Traveling is my fancy.
Getting away is my cup of tea.
Because I dont want to be here anymore.
Brand new activities seem to get old as soon as I'm used to them.
Because subconsciously I think I don't like being good at functioning.
Lately locations got the best of me.
I've lost my will to live.
I'm not okay.
Just want to reside
in a place where the bathrooms dont smell like piss.
City life has been calling me, or really, anywhere different.
My environment is going to be what makes me somebody.
Because I'm sick of being no one.
And it'd be sick to be seen as someone.
I could live without that sarcastic tone of yours.
I could live without you. I'd be fine without you.
I could live with a casket for a home.
As long as I'm without you.
Lately locations got the best of me.
Just want to reside in a place where the bathrooms don't smell like piss.
I don't want to be here anymore.

“You cannot have stop without start. And there never was any start. There is just no thing. If you go back in memory as far as you can go you come to the same place as you do when you go forward in your anticipation of the future. You may ask what it is going to be like to be dead and this gives you the funny idea that this blankness is the necessary counterpart of what we call being. We all think we are alive. We assume we are really here, and there really is something called “existence.” However the existentialist shouts ‘Here We Are!’ How could you experience that as a reality unless you had once been dead? What gives us any ghost of a notion that we are here, except by contrast with the fact that we once were not.” – Alan Watts

Planet of Fortune

I'm breezing through life but, to me, this feels like a curse.
My spirit is restless; wanderlust without a cure.
They say that its a gift of providence that luck protects me.
I'm losing my confidence so slowly.
It seems like all my friends are suffering.
There's nothing I can do but watch them.
They say that there's a god.
I'm trying my best to take the pain you feel away.
But existing is cold when death is all we await.
I'm told that it's a privilege, to live on this planet of fortune.
I'm loosing my grip, and I feel like such a burden.
Where is his unconditional love?
I'm so sick of hearing it's visible above.
They say that there's a god.
They say that there's a god but I dont see him.
All I see is torture and pain. Children born into hate.
and you call it predestination?
How can you speak of truth?
How can you speak of his will?
To me that shits fictitious but to you its your testimate.
I'll be alone in the world until there's nothing left of it.
