Oh, my world is swindling me.
I'll live my whole life faking the american dream.
I'll chew the meat right off of the bone
And gain a few fucking pounds and waste my life a buffoon.
Why, my lover are you hiding away
From that murdering scum that shares my name?
There's a beautiful world that I've built in my mind
And for the life of me I can't decide who to invite.
Acres of acrylic paint replenish spirit.
The grass is greener, The chocolates sweeter,
And the drinks are all paid for.
Why, my lover are you hiding away
From this wonderland I've built inside of my brain?
Let me just clarify the way things are.
There are forces in this universe
Out of our control.
We analyze the shape and size
Of a boundless concept,
then we print and package and sell it
For a handsome profit.
The truth is that the songs been sung
And the book already writ,
The numbers been proven
And the film edited.
The sake of soul has been embellished through a fabrication.
It's such a sin, and I tell you now
this ain't no way to exist.
We doll ourselves up real nice
And talk with big words.
We agree to disagree
On the inevitable.
We defy each other mentally
For no good reason.
You drive me mad.
You drive me fucking insane.
You know that feeling you get when you’ve lost something you didn’t know you lost but you know you are looking for ? And know with even further affirmation it was lost and you were in deed looking because you finally recognize it when you found it ? Every time I see the word “COPE” I think of how there’s no irony that I think of this voice, lyrics and music that helped me do just that. It’s so many heavenly things. Please let this be the voice I hear on my final journey to meet my ma room_237
