LYRICS
CONCEPTS OF RESISTANCE FROM 25 YEARS AGO
ARE SWALLOWED BY WALLPAPERS
HAPPENS ALL THE TIME
YOUTH IS CELEBRATED MOSTLY IF IT STAYS YOUNG
ONLY TO BECOME A BACKDROP
WALLPAPERING OVER DECAY
POST-AUTHENTIC BLUES
——————–
shy away from bended neon of fraudulent bogus
have more faith in the words of handwritten italics
shy away from upscale oil of a daunting elite
have more faith in the stroke of a brush of acrylics
shy away from the charades of poets of pretenses
have more faith in the sound of rhyming poetics
shy away from dictating regimes of the west
don’t let them tell you what is best
—————————
THE PAIN IS MOST PRESENT
IT’S THE ONLY SIGN OF LIVING
REDEMPTION IS ONLY FOR THE FEW
ALONE AND NUMB
IS WHAT WE’VE BECOME
IT’S ONLY ATTRACTIVE WHEN IT’S NEW
ALL THAT IS ANTI
IS ABSORBED BY THE BIG LIE
IT’S FUNNY BECAUSE IT IS TRUE
——————–
“grunge girl”
neither male nor female
will not be defined
neither fresh nor stale
don’t make up your mind
only young when wished for
age is hardly real
only thing that matters
is how you really feel
wretchedly reclaiming
what was once our time
hypocrisy is stealing
one moment at a time
————————
IMMENSE IS THE ABSORPTION
DESERTION IS BEYOND THE POSSIBLE
SHE HIDES IN THE SHADOW
BEHIND AN EYE EVER SO VEILED
————————-
Heavy is the slightest sigh
lightest might be the last goodbye
to flee from where we came
that is our mission every day
to the grave of the dying
love is a pillow on which we’re crying
life is a series of continuous goodbyes
