If I lived in the wild
I’d live by a waterfall
And never pay utilities
Cuz I’d have a waterfall
And who needs electricity
When you’ve got sunlight
and starlight and moon
I’d forage in the morning
I’d sleep in the sunlight at noon
Anything seems better
Than this tiny room
If I lived in a desert
I’d dry out like a leaf
Right now I live by the ocean
Waiting for waves to wash over me
Rent is really expensive
When you live by the sea
But if I had a waterfall
I’d take all my showers for free
In the wild it’s hard to own kittens
But here it’s hard to live off the grid
And I’m always losing everything
My keys, my money, my id.
So I will live in the wild
and never lose anything again
It’s hard to lose a waterfall
Cuz it is so very big.
I guess I wasn’t allowed to sleep…
Our world wide corporation of death
Selling soul after soul to the right and the left
In the city where building fights building for space
Where rich men sell cigarettes and time bombs and self doubt
At slow steady rates
In the streets where things are a bit more face-paced
Where corporations are where Gangs take place
Selling disease through a needle or a prostitute’s legs
On a stained, naked mattress
With no face and no name
We find jobs to support our addictions to leisure
Anything to subdue this baby if boredom screaming at our breasts
Paying for college
To make us poor and insane
And psychiatrists
Who tell us to just try again
And booze
Because we all pay for booze
Some way or another
And make jokes about things
That kill you faster
And shrug off the lives
That became disasters
From the Hollywood it girl
To the abandoned crack whore
The greatest divide goes
From the Rich to the Poor
For all the same vices
The great equalizer
Of white powders
And coffee drinks
Self help books
12 steps to no where but up
Let’s rise up!
If you’ve got one last breath in you
For the Human race
And all those babies!
Let go of your money and tend to the land.
I could take all the drugs around me,
I could be as blank as the pages in your head.
I could swallow the smoke til I can’t breathe,
With my friends all dying around me.
Forgetting the people they told us we could be.
And just blowing around in the streets.
When you hold the keys to eternity, knowledge, wisdom and prosperity,
You lose site of winning the race. You never understand the chase.
And fucking off just seems so easy.
Like nothing else could be more easy,
More sensible.
Nothing matters when everything’s figured out for you.
Just stay in the lines
Connect the dots.
Nothing matter’s when nothing is all you’ve got.
Forgetting dates,
Changing license plates
Planning your escape
When no one ever gets out of here.
I could drown my sorrows in whiskey
I could keep them afloat in beer
I could quit cold turkey on sorrows
Exhale smoke and they’d disappear.
I could mute the world around me
Some car bomb on the t.v. screen
Cuz those things are so far away
From what’s affecting me.
My first love left me bitter
So that my second love never came.
I was alone when I got here
And I’m leaving just the same.
I have the balls to say what most people are too afraid to say to one another.
I’m really quite tired of people all together.
I’m almost even tired of having friends.
Friends come and go and come and go and go more often than they come.
Friends are just people, lonely people that can’t be alone when having fun.
I have the balls to call them on their bullshit.
I have the balls to point out my own bullshit.
My whole persona is based on bullshit
and that’s why I’d rather be alone.
I don’t need friends to make me happy
I just try to keep my friends happy most of the time.
And I bet not of a one of them worries
How happy they make me,
or how sad they make me,
or however they make me.
I’d rather make me myself.
Like how lots of birds fly in flocks
but most of the time they’re by themselves.
If I could fly I’d wouldn’t need any body
Unless when crossing continents
Because I bet that’s scary to do alone.
But on normal days I’m pretty sure,
On most days I’m positive,
Almost every day I’m absolutely certain
That I don’t need anyone.
Probably.
nonsense I wrote in bed last night.
I believe in aliens
and I believe in God
I don’t believe in Leprechauns
I think Santa is a fraud
But I believe in you and me
But then again I don’t
I could get to know you better
But I know that I won’t.
A learning curb is nothing
Like biting a real curb
There’s a lesson in there somewhere
Leaving you disturbed
Getting to know new people
Is always so awkward
Let’s drown these fears in 2 buck chuck
But never really say a word
Going through the motions
Of living a real life
Should calm the harsh realities
Of grown-ups, kids and wives
All inevitable conversations
Every brand new situation
All coming and ending
Everyday
Makes me want to
Throw my life away.
Cuz I don’t believe in politics
I don’t believe our ways will stick
But I still believe in you and me
Even if we’re a “maybe”
And I still believe in aliens
And that they will come
Help us blend in
With rocks and monkeys
And insects
And maybe teach us some respect
And that we’re not hopeless
Just upset
Then the non-believers
All those truth-decievers
Men in suits
with podiums
Along with all the quiet dreamers
Patiently waiting like everyone
Will finally have a place and purpose
No more reasons to be nervous
I can’t wait for aliens to come.
