Like They've Nothing Better To Do
-
I'm not as crazy as you think I am
I stand here, wobbling
But I am completely on my own
Minus the crazy pay and subsidies
I dwell on the past
And dread the future
But when the lab rats find the cheese
__that I have left them
____I wonder if it'll taste good
Though I know it won't
Nothing I give anybody
__is desirable
I can't mash my head with butter
But my thoughts can be controlled
__by a lover
Where ever the Hell she must be
Ev'ry one says "she isn't here yet"
But I know the truth
"She just doesn't exist"
Dead to me
Because the punishment fits
Why the world can forgive others
__and not me
____is beyond my abilities to understand
Falling short is not fun
Who ever is doing this to me
__must be happy
They must get off on vengeance
Probably laughing their ass off
__like it's just so funny
But I bet they're not satisfied
I bet they couldn't be satisfied
__even if they destroyed the lives
____of the whole world
Evil doesn't rest
It won't be long
__before I am hit over my head
____and left for dead
I just know it
Nothing to understand about it
So I won't even try to grasp the reasons
__for all my suffering
Maybe I'm just a bad person
__and can't see it
Maybe the world is just a fucked up place
Going to waste
__like a dying spinning ball in space
Destroying itself
__because nobody knows any other way
I don't see an end to living this way
I can only see me obsessing over the problem
With information getting scrambled
__and mixed up in my head
Not grasping any bit of reality
I just know that the tip of thee iceberg
__will submerge itself
____with the rest of thee iceberg
And then I will know nothing
__and just be a mess
Splattering my own brains
__just to be freed from the nothingness
____with my blood on the world's hands
And it'll be so funny
__that the world will die laughing
And that will be thee end of me
Even in the most friendliest places
__I still remain a "nobody"
A "target" for republicans
And an "enemy" to God
My empty remains will crunch up
And the power to lose control
__will take over
____and I will lose my soul
And to the left
__and to the right
____there'll always be
______an endless fight
________to go on
__________and live right
But I will sink thee ors
__and park this ship
____far off and away from society
______and all the monsters
________that won't stop ruining me
