Man: i’ve found that holidays distract me from my work. So i bought my wife a whore. He works the magic while i watch my margins rise. I really couldn’t thank him more.
Dog: I’m not in pain i’m just excited to breath i just can’t see what you are struggling for. Your sharp suits only an illusion of power, not a symbol of more.
Man: If i could turn myself, into the perfect form, i would just fuck myself, and wish for nothing more.
You’re free to leave if we’re wasting your time
I’ve played to floorboards that have had more conviction
The more you quit the more the feet become shadows
Before they fade away for good.
Put in the effort and they won’t forget, the energy, beauty, the passion the sweat.
An empty room can speak a thousand words more than a selfish cunt holding an open purse.
Impress a person and they’ll tell another but anger them and they’ll tell twenty more.
If you’ve got the time can i pick your brains for a minute?
i swear i’ll pay more than a penny for your thoughts.
what were you thinking sir, that day you cocked your leg and pissed on all your peers.
You’re free to behave as you see fit, just don’t be surprised if people think you’re a prick.
Material should be a reference point and a looking glass into your heart and soul.
I’ve heard that experience is learning, that the ears are the canvas of growth,
but its so hard to learn from this method cos its painted in black paint on black.
All that we seek to do
Is to verify that we were here (verify that we were here)
We expect our modern charms
To trap our moral lows
From the very moment that we enter the world
Our bodies become documents for others to use
Our memories lie, under red lights all wet
Making immortal the faces of the people we’ve met
When the party is over and they empty the bins
They’ll view our civilisation as if from behind a fence
The stories told to their children won’t have been from our pens
Just an interpretation of a life through a lens
Without a written history
Our minds eye is shrouded in cement
A reality with no substance
But that of melted ice
Without a sincere gift
Have we made any impact?
Or have we merely proved
That we have existed?
We need more time
When the party is over and they empty the bins
They’ll view our civilisation as if from behind a fence
The stories told to their children won’t have been from our pens
Just an interpretation of a life through a lens
We’ll choose a few to be exaulted and leave the vast majority to wallow in their ignorance, then punish them for not believing although they won’t have had a way to see me or my pulpit whores and cassocked pimps.
If ever god would speak to me i’d turn away, as my extent to suffer fools has drawn a line. I’d rather lose eternity and just decay, having washed my hands of all the filth that he conveys.
