Kurt Cobain
loved Frances Bean
(rip, Kurt) and he knew pain
wish the saddest thing I've seen
was the first ten minutes of UP
but that's be a lie if a Pixar movie
was the reason whiskey drowns my cup
"with the lights out its less dangerous"
shh, hush now
soon we'll be famous, ageless
I'll tell you how
we can make this painless
"I'm so happy because today
I found my friends
they're in my head"
you don't understand
my "friends" want me dead
I can't go on, I can
these projections of the dark
corners of my mind
haunting, so haunting
what's the time?
I've lost track
in the darkness, among all my "friends"
how can I get back?
I don't want to go back
I'm exploring the dark side of the moon!
Apollo 11 has nothing on me
I'm Apollo fucking 303
"just because you're paranoid
don't mean they're not after you!"
you tell them from the grave!
and oh, so they're after you, too?
you've given the you gave
to me when I turn 23
I'll never be 23
or ready for you
to be ready for me
"I wish I was like you. easily amused"
because I'm so bored with life
I'm bored with you
I'm bored of the knife
cutting deeper and cutting me in half
I'm not a fan
of nirvana
but I'm a fan of
Nirvana
and I have a plan
if wanna
hear it
do you wanna?
you want the moon as a glint of light
on broken glass?
ha!
I'll show you the fucking sun
hot, unrelenting, a cruel god demanding
sacrificial worship
the silhouette of the great sky demon
tormented and reflected
on the back of an eyelid
burned into a persons soul
and then I'll take your precious moon
shining on that piece of broken glass
and I'll melt my conscience in the sun
and shove it up your ass
I'll go out with a bang
a firework, a flash, a boom
or maybe I'll hang
i just know I won't walk out of this room
damn straight
I create my own fate!
and yes, I choose the date
don't hate
because I'll be late
to my own funeral!
I'm sorry little Frances Bean
I'm sorry for my ouch, sorry for my pain
I'm sorry you don't know what I mean
I'm sorry that I'm like Kurt Cobain
Cherry, please be strong
it won't be long
before I hear my last song
you weren't wrong
when you worried
but don't worry about me!
I'm fine, I'm not, can't you see?
