Not Just Good Gin

Stiff from the years, I felt bitter, proud, a bit broken down
Now it's much clearer, I'd reached the maximum that made me numb but
Forgive my tears, I was feelin' low with no control
Loaded & fevered, don't mind my take out glass, promise I'll bring it back
As long as i don't crash...
After a while, I woke up, oh ashamed (of) how I was
Sunk in denial, limp floating dead-weight, stuck in your substrate.
Now I see they've expired - those human traits I so admired.
In place: some coward - dumb bloated face sequined in waste...
I faked, lied & feigned, cleverly coated
Enough not to show it,
The exhaustion won't wash off,
And my patience (has) since eroded.
You drank my good gin,
I stayed out late wasted,
My head kept poundin',
So I slept in again.
I slept in again,
But now I'm smiling
Now I'm smiling
Now I'm smiling….
I faked, lied & feigned, cleverly coated
enough not to show it
The exhaustion don't wash off,
But my patience since eroded
Patience since eroded
Patience since eroded
Patience since eroded…..
I slept in this morning again
This time I wake next to a friend

Embalm them with corn syrup,
Erupt into blame.
The chemicals dancing near an open flame.
The last of a species counting down to extinction
As predators sharpen their fangs and wait...
For that opportune moment when defenses go down,
They invade your screens, your living room TVs,
Your monitors, your billboards, your magazines,
Your banks and stocks, your wallets empty.
Tomorrow eyes
Why are you so surprised?
No one knows when our hand in treason is real or a forgery
Of those who please men of superficial words
Bordering on the absurd.
Shakespeare on Wall Street.
Fill their veins with counterfeit,
Their minds with games,
Pump them full of pesticides,
A slave to the grave.
Their place on the world stage empty.
This backlash of dreamers, poets and sages,
Not here to entertain but to engage.
Youthful faces race to save tomorrow from today.
Were the dead that were tread on the way to the top
Worth that bottom line?
Tomorrow eyes
Why are you so surprised?
When decay and rancid blood stain their capital gain
Why are you so surprised to see
Shakespeare on Wall Street?
Shakespeare on Wall Street.

Make Up

Did the makeup make you feel better? And what about the root pump, all the hair junk, and all that other fun stuff
Did it ever make me feel clever? How do I look mother, does (this) color compliment the other?
Desirability ain't here no more, no more
When did it manage to disappear, why did it go
And I am creepin' up in the years, oh no, oh no
How'd I manage to make it here, I'm on my own
Mark it up to bad & dumb decisions
Seemed like it could made sense…I care less so I've come to make some progress
Soaking up a sudden new vision
Nestle in and relax, so it attracts some ideas I'd like back….
Desirability ain't here no more, no more
When did it manage to disappear, why did it go
And I am creepin' up in the years, oh no, oh no
How'd I manage to make it here, I'm on my own
