the great burnout

PART 1:

Return of the great burnout, trailblazer of the scorched route,

I’ve arrived to get the word out, although, I rarely am the truth,

Filled with bad hellos, like “how’s it going, you seem good,

And man, I would’ve come over and talked to you, I would

And I should - but all you do – seems to go over,

Where as I keep stumbling around, going down, and getting older,

Shoulder’s higher than my shoulder,

Of the elbow where my shirt’s ripped, from this morning where my foot tripped, and I fell in my apartment,

N about that Snap that I sent, could you ignore the petty shit?

Where I ginned up some interest while too drunk to know the words,

And we can get inside my Civic with the cigarette burns, because the interior says a lot about me, I’ve learned,”

The other night I Googled when will the sunrise,

And you’ve been posting everyday of your child’s lives,

And I’m wondering if like maybe they mind,

But when you show me I just say they’re attractive.



PART 2:

Man, how I feel – I’ll just blame it on the weather,

How I feel – just blame you when we’re together,

How I feel – seeing something that seems better,

How I feel – man, it’s written in the header,



Where there is no penicillin, for feeling pinned to the ceiling,

I get busy reeling, emo, like there’s no chance of healing

Like I’m wounded cut and bleedin – probably what I needed,

Because I stuck my hand and all my plans in drawers full of knives,

Spent that time concealing -- I got bummed from what I seeing,

---Like aches don’t come included with a sharp set of eyes,

Spy the world as running wild – when did I become a line?

Here I am, here I am, a father without a child,

I---can’t understand – that it’s been that way for miles,

Why – tie your hands like you’re born ready to die—I’m--



A natural, natural born killer that’s me,

Hardest one to kill has gotta be yourself see?

But I’ve been doing that way back since 8.3.83

Date that’s on repeat - look how the stars lined up for me,

Fluids fuckin with the past – a lost identity,

Fluid friction with the facts – can’t see it separately,

Been runnin from the blood – that feels good,

It’s the only thing we’ve known, known, known since the flood,


I can’t help it – I can’t help it,



I get confused because I refuse to be my meanest yet,

And watch it close around the edge like it was old vignettes,

There’s not much new to find on dusty tapes and old cassettes,

That beast has been around, what makes you think you’ll catch it quick?



Like a cold in your bones, that can’t be caught, where you’re cold and build a fire, but soon you will be too hot,

--Stuck between the future and everything you forgot,

You were cold and built a fire, you were warm and now you’re not.
