I'm so fucking mad
Not crazy just angry
Because nothing works
it's all broken just like we
are all broken inside-
and I hate all of the floating pieces
of a society
that hates me
and suddenly
I see
it's all a lie
a great big lie
and I'm yelling at the sky
and I'm eating another cookie
and I can't see a goddamn thing
Everybody singing about this hotline bling
but they can't see past their screens
What are you gonna do when you ain't got no means
to make it by
You can't just live on the fly
'Cuz you have a family now
and they sure as hell would not appreciate
a 2-pronged fork and an empty plate
And they all say it's for the sake
of society
But really so much anxiety
and now we're pushing each other out
of the other's mind until all that's left is a great big drought
No smiles
No laughter for miles
and miles we're in plain sight now
the sun beats down on every bough
of every tree you've ever seen
And I think to myself What could this mean?
I'm so fucking mad
We're all broken
and there's not a single damn thing I can do about it
I can't fix the cold
and I can't fix the kids
who think the best way to live is in your face
For those who buy a lottery ticket just to get a crowd
of attention for one minute; those kids that think oblivion is better than trying to fit in
Society dictates what we must do - conform, take away your ability to choose
and only then will you become one
with this Earth that rotates and revolves and tilts
all at once
Incredible? No, what's incredible is
we are killing it without
a second thought
Disjointed, haphazard thought
given to humans that somehow
managed to fuck us all up
All over again - and I can't swear I won't fucking swear
And who really gives a shit what I do when there's 7 billion equally angry souls coexisting out there - why do I matter
Who fucking cares?
Why does it matter what scores you get
who you know
where you go
how you live
what you decide
to do with a life
that turns out to be
utterly and entirely
insignificant?
Who cares what kind of there to use
Or the forms of to to confuse
when we are all going to die and it doesn't really matter
if you use an apostrophe
or not because
you still got your point across a lot fucking better than I did
Hey whatever grammar is the foundation of language
but English is so complicated that no one even gives a damn anymore about pronouns like him
or a homonym.
All anyone sees is their phone - a piece of damned plastic and metal and god knows what else with tiny circuits firing inside a tiny motherboard making up a tiny existence.
Fuck.
I'm so angry.
I have all this rage locked up inside and it never ever seems to die
and I can't seem to get away from myself
because people remind me of what I've done but my mind will never let me rest
Everything triggers my everything
and it seems to me that I am royally screwed
and I hate talking to my parents yet I keep doing it and all I want is attention
Isn't that what we all want?
But I have singled myself out from the rest of the crowd - I can't fit in any circle because my actions are so damn loud
Doing everything and accomplishing nothing
The definition of a real dope
The Clevingers of the world will assemble into a mass protest of some civil rights travesty that doesn't really effect us but we'll take it!
And so on the Ides of March I will take this day and hunt down my anger with fear and disgust and regret and guilt and hatred and even sadness
Although I don't feel sad I just feel disappointed and upset
and possibly moribund - also deplorably melancholy (and all of this righteously so)
Fuck my life.
Not because I don't have privileges and opportunities and I'm an ungrateful little bitch.
it's for all the times I feel incompetent and frustrated and that I can't go on because I just can't.
Don't tell me it's a phase because I will kill you
Don't tell my I won't see you until Christmas because I will kill you
The Dark Side of the Force is strong in this one.
The Dark Side of the Force is all that will ever reign because there must be a balance between Light and Dark and once that balance is reached it is inevitable that the Dark will overcome because all stars must die and our sun and many others will surely die out into a great black swirling mass and the darkness of space will once again pervade our corner of the universe.
Also, I hate eyeliner. Fuck that.
