Treason :/

Waiting
for something
that's not gonna happen
If the future's at all worth repeating
there's no use in reason
there's no good in Treason
Waiting
for someone
to solve all my problems

Happens to the best of us
Been a long time since i felt your touch
Sitting on my hands till the blood cuts off
and they both go numb
I gotta stop comparing myself
to every other human that opens their mouth
Sinking down a cocktail of self depication is wearing me out
Oh
I try to keep a tab on all my friends
but I'm just so damn busy
these days
Do trees even make a sound
falling in the forest when no one's around?
Pin this to the top of your Facebook profile
Ensuring that it's found
My stress is at an all time high
Crawl into a ball but I promise I'm fine
Wish I could undo all these knots in my stomach
and detoxify
Oh
I try to keep a tab on all my friends
but I'm just so damn busy
these days

Trying your best is easier said than done
You live on your own until the feeling's gone
Well we sat at the back of the Wollongong house
as a figure stepped inside
& from that moment we were sure
that this four eyed freak would save our lives
Well I'm not the superstitious type
No one said that he was gone
Well I'm not the one for conspiracies
No one said that he was gone
My diet's a mess - the van speaks for itself
And how many bags of fast food can I eat before I wreck myself?
Well we moved to the front of that Wollongong house
as a figure sent us a smile
& from that moment we were sure
that this friend would change our lives for a while
Well I'm not the superstitious type
No one said that he was gone
Well I'm not the one for conspiracies
No one said that he was gone
(should've made a break for it)

All the cubes in my cup had melted into water. I was sitting in the Commodore waiting for my motor. Top of 39 degrees you could swear that it was warmer. All the secondhand embarrassment I felt filled the quota. It's another daydream wasted on a car I wish I bought with all the money I spend on feeling dumb.
Like a problem child that never did you favours. Took your credit card on a weekend splurge at Savers. And it's times like these I find myself to be spiritual. I was harnessing heaps more emotional pain than physical. It's another daydream wasted on a car I wish I bought with all the money I spend on feeling dumb.

Who Did This?

Well I’m right back on my bullshit
3am in the morning
Heaps too early to function - I thought
Who Did This? xD
Then I took one step in the kitchen
Pour the milk in my bowl
Spill it all on the floor
And I thought - Who Did This? xD
It’s the same repeating (in my head)
Well there's thousands of people dying
Every waking moment
Put it all in perspective
You problems don’t exist
You’re just an unfinished piece of the jigsaw
At the back of the party
No one bothered to finish
Oh but you insist
It’s the same repeating
(What was I thinking?)
(What would you say?)
(If all your problems never went away?)
You’re holding me down
Down to the ground
(What was I thinking?)
(What would you say?)
(If all your issues never went away?)

Easter 2012
(or maybe 09?)
Pubescent blonde
Incandescent room
A Borders shop
Just outside of Philly
Wide eyed
Jet lagged
Desperately needing to piss
I limp to the front counter
Politely asking where the toilet is
& with a look of slight confusion
the staff member nods
We weave through the aisles
Rush of relief
As I follow this angel
To my bladder oasis
The ascending staircase
Each step a touch more
Painful than the last
But suddenly
We stop mid aisle
The staff member turns back to say
“Here you go”
As they start to walk away
I start to realize
Exactly what had happened
They thought
I had actually asked for a Twilight
Instead of a toilet.
We had walked
Across the entire store
Just to stop at an aisle
Filled with Twilight DVDs
Rather than the bathroom.

Product x Prodigy

Being a product usurps being a prodigy
I wish that someone told me that
Before I got to 23 and the weight was lifted off my back
Is there not even a shred of human decency
Inside that little brain of yours?
Working all the dials
Take your conscious off the beaten track
So let's take a ride on that lazy susan
A pretty face is not a personality
I'm all the proof you ever need
The Target staff refused to let me give my ugly face mask back
It's coming up to our three year anniversary
I wish that someone told me that
The memories we make today will last longer than a heart attack
So let's take a ride on that lazy susan

Flowerbed

What in god's name have you done to our son?
Such a difference since the rapture's been and gone
A shirt on my back and a rhyme inside my head
It's all I need to make another month in rent
We are mostly proud of all the things you've done for him
Cut out most of the verse and repeat that line again
Never cleaned up my side of the flowerbed
Why don't you try to avoid the internet as best as you can?
It's full of fractured realities and toxic content
We are mostly proud of all the things you've done for him

Default Dance
06:59

|

I haven’t seen much of my kitchen lately
We just sit and watch all the veggies grow
Been 10 months since I paid my bond
And its worn me down like a violin bow
Constant movement back and forth
Could you text me back when you get the chance?
Same pair of PJs for 4 days straight
I’m just another victim to the default dance
There's a stack of plates right behind my PC
From all the toast I consume per hour
Could stack them each in a matter of minutes
Or i could make my recluse Jenga tower
People dream of going places
Like London, England or Paris, France
But the one thing that I truly hope for
Is a looser grip from the default dance
Its a fine line between lounge and lazy
Don't pull me up till I know for sure
8 hour Youtube compilations
Wear me down till my eyes get sore
What if all this was pointless?
A future left unenhanced
By the prospect of an early grave
when I sell my soul to the default dance?
