i'll make my problem everyone's problem 

return the tally hos and swap them out for ventis

just to reap the extra 40c from the cashier

she doesn't hide her annoyance and i don't back down 

i don't feel bad 

the man outside asks for some money and i give him what's in my pockets and smoke with him 

what goes around comes around

these cards you play

will they burn someday? 

year after year and game after treacherous game

you pull the same three moves 

the same three words

each predictable bluff fools them somehow 

to expect something different 

but you won't change 

day after day 

you stay the same

you're so far past 

your own expiry date

robotic trails

the same songs, the same breakfast and the same people

over and over and over and 

replace me with a bug, a computer

fill up my mug with something truer 

transform me from this hollowed shell 

who knows painful repetition all too well 

i used to be so smart 

now my bleak life craves the abstract art 

which once gave it colour 

and a nihilist, my hopeful...

I wonder if we will ever be friends,

if there will be some airy event 

away from tingles and sweat and loud music 

and you can be uninterrupted 

I wonder if you’ll ever forgive me for what I’ve done

i’ll look in the mirror 

and we will finally be one.
