Introspective Villain

Fresh new problems flood my screen, pining for fame,
I won’t be satisfied until I choose to be,
My addictions jump from one thing to another.
None of this matters in the long run,
What can I do that hasn’t been done?
After life, wherever we go,
I know you will wait for me
And that’s all that matters
Please wait for me
Please wait for me
I feel like I have chronic fatigue
My mind is my greatest enemy
And my cruellest weapon
How could anyone not be exhausted?
We are constantly overstimulated herd creatures
With unnaturally large communities
I am just content sitting shoulder to shoulder on my bed with you
None of this matters in the long run,
What can I do that hasn’t been done?
After life, wherever we go,
I know you will wait for me
And that’s all that matters
Please wait for me
Please wait for me
I’m running out of ways to say how I feel
I will always think of you fondly, and answer your calls
But I’m a pessimist and nihilistic
None of this matters in the long run,
None of this matters

Seaside Funerals

I feel basically the same
Not much has changed
I do this for myself
I do this for myself
They found bombs on the beach
And I found a brochure for seaside funerals
Oh help isn’t on the way
I missed my chance to book an appointment
Humans weren’t meant to live like this, we are meant to fruit off trees and hold each other
Are you smiling underneath your mask
Or is the blistering sun burning your eyes?
Are you alight?
To keep up your silent fight?
Why am I not happy at this point?
I thought stability came with age?
But my sad songs are the same
Oh help isn’t on the way
I missed my chance to book an appointment
So I’m alone in my room
My brain melting
Humans weren’t meant to live like this, we are meant to fruit off trees and hold each other
Are you smiling underneath your mask
Or is the blistering sun burning your eyes?
Are you alight?
To keep up your silent fight?
There’s no treasure here
I cry there’s no tears
You beg me to find motivation to get out of my room and bed
