My internal monologue is saturated analogue, It’s scratched and drifting, I’ve become attached to the idea it’s all a shifting dream bitter sweet philosophy, I’ve got no idea how I even got here.

Put me on a pedestal and I’ll only disappoint you. This that the other why even bother, it won’t be with me on my death bed, but I’ll still be in your head. I must confess I’ve made a mess of what should be a small success but I digress at least I’ve tried my very best I guess. I like you despise you admire you what are we gonna do when everything all falls through? I love you I hate you I’m on the fence it all depends whether I’m up I’m down I’m on the mend transcending all reality. Let go that expectation, change the station, find out what out what you want. Lay it all on the table, you seem so stable, but you’re just hanging on. Shine those shoes n mow those lawns, let’s get back to normal. I’m just waiting for the day to become night. And all eyes on the pavement, I’m not gonna touch ya don’t worry so much about it. Well time is money and money is no man’s friend. The mother screams “don’t you ever shut-up?” And there’s one thing I know the sun will rise today and tomorrow. What’s the point, it looks fine from up here. The pair across the street one’s up the ladder and one’s on their knees, painting the faded brick.
