Oh for fucks sake, here we go again. More self loathing and unwarranted criticism. I can’t ever shut the fuck up, about how you got me stuck.
I gave you a disease, all these secrets keep everyone happy.
Look, that was quaint, if I don’t say a thing I’m a saint, but when you read the book you may faint. come back and haunt me as one bored fucking haint.
Secrets keep everyone happy.

What’s the goal here, and why should there be one anyway? And exactly what am I trying to say? All piss and cum and underpaid.
Goodness gracious, I get so tired of hearing myself that I lose patience. All this lying and fucking and building a mountain out of shit, and it’s not even near done yet. Mail my things because I quit. I’m done sitting through your crying fits.
Oh brother, please spare them another lesson on euphoria, we’ve heard it all before and it’s such a bore. Don’t come back if you go out that door. You talk to me like I’m a dollar store whore, but you still pick me up off the floor. That’s how you get people to stay, wanting more.

I wanna be the person that has the money, knows the people, and goes home. Everyone’s opening a Peruvian spot in the highlands, and everyone’s punk band is gold.
I wanna believe all this magic shit, we saw a wolf in the woods with daylight left, might mean nothing, but it’s something for me, at best. Is a ghost just a need to confess?
You make me panic, like I ate the whole team.
Never paid the vig and came clean. Every truth I tell, you don’t believe.

or a long time I thought I was important. Like there was something more to it, but I didn’t know fuck about shit, and I pranced around like some foolish maverick.
Have you ever gone too far?
Lost your way in the dark?
Covered in someone’s sticky tar?
We shouldn’t have gone this far.
A real forked tongue motherfucker. Peddling my bullshit with blood and thunder. You shouldn’t concern yourself with what happens under covers of beds you’re not in, because I don’t care if I win.
I never pull out.
I got to have something to worry about.

If I had a wish, I would like to go like this. I’m driving late at night, tucked away in no one’s line of sight, when I’m crushed by a fucking meteorite. No big story just a hole in the road, and I might get my wish and get my silly ass story told.
How can I have anything left to say? I ask myself damn near everyday.

This fools errand has gone on for long enough.
One day, it all dissolves away.
Come on, it’s been long enough.
The world isn’t made for up-all-nighters, these rooms are illuminated when the sun rises. And there was always a path that I never took, I just wasted precious time writing my own book. When I’m good and gone you’re off the hook, but all these years of poison has left you shook.
I tried to say so much in these moments, but I should have opened my mouth and fucking shown it. I’ve never learned one goddamned lesson before it was too late, I set all the traps and I take all the bait. When I’m high like this, I can see why you lost faith, with me and my decisions in haste.
