Initialize i
Let your eyes cry
Briefly wonder why do the birds fly high in the sky until they die

Do they try like you and I
As the nights grind by
To survive each flight and not bleed each other dry?

————————-

I am the burger joint employee geek leaning on the sink
Fiending secretly for weed dip my finger in your drink
I am the man in the van waiting angrily for fries
To appease the angsty baby in the booster as she cries

I’m the brat in the back whose ass feels attacked
By the fatherly audacity of having not packed a snack
I’m the same kid later again mad at my dad
Cuz he wouldn’t let me spend all the cash that I had

I am the doc with the synopsis mom’s condition’s gotten worse
I’m the son staring blankly into space past the nurse
Trying to fathom how to acquire Christmas presents to disperse
When my work situation’s made me tighten up the purse

I am the manager firing workers right before the holidays
Just to justify a raise on the check the business pays
I’m a lazy piece of shit that’s just abusing the system
Too many sins to admit but it’d be amusing to list ‘em

I am an insecure teen wondering what it all means
To be seen by the scene as a supreme human being
I am the kid held down on the ground against my will
Being forced to bear witness to the world’s worst ill

I am the trapped rabid animal backed into a wall
Never gonna quit fighting for my rights until I fall
I’m the teeth on the trap that has got me by the leg
Inhale real big begin to gnaw before I beg

I am not sure of anything but I think therefore I am
I am overthinking everything yet do not give a damn
I’m an overachieving admin and an underpaid artist
I am not the dumbest person but I’m certainly not the smartest

I am not working the hardest as we take part in the harvest
My style is aprés-gardist so I never get the farthest
If you need absurdist lyrics then you know I am the one
I am only getting started I’m progressing I am done
