these cigarettes don't help me write but they shorten my life and add an urgent punch to my words I can't buy with any healthier methods (but it plays backwards)

With It 05:21
I need a picture for separating the space from reality and the situation I must face last night you made a fool of yourself you asked your best friend if he wanted to kiss you you knocked drinks out of the whole party's hands and now you're wondering if he's going to miss you you know you can't break down this way and chalk it up to simply misplaced feelings cause if you fall out of character four times a day there's something fucked up about the way you perceive things he's not with it he's not in character nobody's with it everyone's in character the hermit lives a lonely life he says he loves people but he hates the smell of friendship (cool take, hermit) I pretend I am cooler than him like what he says makes no sense to a sane man like me, I got friends and dogs in high places the hermits says "cool take, poser" well you see that was out of character for me I'm not a sad drunk punk with no dignity but your character is made up of the shit that you do you're always staying in character no matter what feeling hits you he's not with it he's not in character nobody's with it everyone's in character he's not with it and you're not with it either but he's not with it

when I got stoned last night I felt a rush of new ideas like I do every time none of the thoughts stuck around they walked past me in a line before I could hear what they said but one stuck around and he told me "sure those boys didn't really give you a chance, but it's better than thinking nothing when you're sober" that idea walked out my head I confess I had an addiction to building LEGO sets when I was a child I needed more I was materialistic and selfish to the point of ingratitude towards my parents I felt that I deserved more legos I can't say that I feel the same as I did back then but the part of me that craved those blocks remains I got some secrets I haven't told anybody but my high school orchestra teacher I can feel my lips moving, but I can't feel yours when we're talking to each other about speakers and getting drunk tomorrow I'm sorry man, I just can't focus today I'm no good when it comes to thinking and speaking so I'll leave you to your plans If you can I'd like you to keep it down while I'm sleeping Each day I see myself in the mirror I can't help but feel the image is slightly further from God's than yesterday If I didn't see another mirror for the rest of my life would I lose the memories of my own face? I see life through the smudges on my glasses If I wipe them away I will see clearly for a while but if they stay, the people I see become blurred, their faces clouded by my unwillingness to clean your thumbs are sore you can't rip anymore blocks apart the visage of Man was made in God's image but God didn't have any scars so Man got hurt and made marks on his image and God got up and walked to the bars the visage of Man was made in God's image but God didn't have any scars so Man got hurt and made marks on his image and God got up and walked to the bars

I don't wanna fall asleep alone again tonight not like there's any other way I've slept before in my whole life If you were a carnivore you'd eat me whole leaving only bones to wake up lonely in the morning eat me while I'm sleeping, I wouldn't wake up I'd be too content from the partner in my bed for one I am sure I wouldn't eat you, I'd eat with you a poor man's breakfast for four I had an experience I don't want to talk about It's not bad, just bad to talk about a seed lives inside my head saying you've been eating around, your body is a loaf of bread

OH HELL YEAH, NOTHING HITS YOU LIKE THAT JWH18 AM I RIGHT MAN Calvin's smoking under the bed mother's eyes can't see what he's doing, but she can smell something burning his head a ring of fire burning from the words he said to her Calvin's smoking to forget his lessons in school, he doesn't need them to pretend he's heard more smart words to say his peers are gathering round to build a grave for him (CALVIN STOP YOU'RE GOING TO GET IN TROUBLE) Calvin's been smoke JWH18 cigarettes all day he didn't think it would feel so real he didn't want it to twist his feelings right living is five times harder in a hermitage in your own head when you put some things on the line you see the line is a much higher gauge of thread Calvin's Peers: CALVIN STOP YOU'RE RUINING YOUR LIFE, YOU NEVER FEED YOUR DOGS YOU NEED HELP GET A JOB. THERE'S NOT A PLACE FOR YOU IN THIS WORLD, THERE'S REALLY NOT A PLACE Calvin: Man that really wants... makes me want to smoke some JWH18 cigarettes man. It'd really take the edge off of all this... offensive language you're using right now Calvin feels dead his eyes are watering red and his lungs are full of lead he thought there would be a line between a child's world and the adult state of mind Calvin's been smoking JWH18 cigarettes all day he didn't think it would feel so real he didn't want it to twist his feelings right living is five times harder in a hermitage in your own head when you put some things on the line you see the line is a much higher gauge of thread

Calvin's was watching the guys on the TV he does not think they are better than him Calvin's been praying with lyrics in his head it doesn't feel right to sing to him there is a backpack under the table it's hidden from anyone but me it seems to me that a chemical addiction has nothing to do with a screen the healing is over, but the feeling remains a feeling that was ripped from the screen

I was a boy with no idea what I was going to see no recollection of what I would be so I saved a glass for the man who said he'd play the role of me tomorrow, yesterday the sun was setting, he knew he would be gone soon better to play the rest of the day away til he was forced to retire by the hand of the Sandman a new hand dealt tomorrow that he would accept with crusty eyes and a falling chest I awake every day in a daze my memories return in seconds of the dreams I had and the life I lived since when did it get so hard to roll out of bed and who's to say that the picture I have of my life was not painted by the hand of the Sandman last night

Hermit 05:34
the hermit lives a lonely life she's stronger than you know, but she stays inside searching for the words to write til she finds a Muse spread on a rock she's beautiful but tough to touch in any kind of meaningful way but she tries the hermit lives a quiet life she's weak at the heart with no intent to go outside a picture painted on the wall depicts heaven but she tries our hermit woman lays in bed all night no sleep feels fitting for her performance as a waste-away somebody called her on the phone and said "your hole will be gone soon, you don't have any more money to pay us with" she said "this is the part where my life goes to shit, and he's right, I've got no money" I've got no words to type and all my friends were right this is not a life I want a life she left her home for the elevated loop station an old lady turned for her attention saying "no I don't want a bite of your finger" the hermit says "that was never on the table" the lady says she was a crusade singer a dead ringer for the hermit who knew she was not able the hermit scoffs to herself and says "but she tries"

Though I'm nineteen years old, I still feel like my voice is a small child, but i'm just in an adult body. My real question about life is: when I grow older, will that small voice still be there or will it become deep? or am I just going to be pretending? a small child in an old mans body... eh? this is why I wanted to write it out In this day in age, are memes the true expression of life? will memes become a true art form? will there be meme museums in the future? displaying the history of memes as they have progressed will there be exhibits of top text bottom text? exhibits of shitposts? what will memes progress to?

AV Wizard 05:22
before I ever recorded my voice I wanted to make sure it was in tip-top shape put on some tea, a kettle with a fiery potion and I touched the microphone to my face recorded five takes of the song tried to really get my emotions through on that one I'm looking for a media man I can understand but all I got is something about a song in a song in a song in a song in a song in a song my words don't carry more weight than the rest no arching columns of poetic design if you hear them you won't be moved but don't worry, I'm not either I've got no attitude I'm no AV Wizard I'm no AV Wizard songs about love are love songs songs about drugs are drug songs songs about me are me songs and dumb songs are dumb songs somebody's going to think you're pretty interesting but don't you think it's a bit much to be loved? give me a yes with a little less enthusiasm and that no is going to have to be a bit softer when he comes you're expecting too much out of me you are a you're but the R and U are too close together and the apostrophe looks wrong damn it it was a Y-O-U-R your what kind of person makes mistakes that don't last forever I'm no AV wizard I'm no AV wizard I'm no AV wizard I'm no AV wizard

Oh, you've walked these streets I don't want to hear you If you take a closer look at the trees you can see that all the leaves once green are brown why's it always seem like they're dying but you've walked these streets for years, my friend and you've seen the trees that line them born again you got to respect that they're trying it feels like this year has eaten me whole chewed me up and gone on to better days looks like I'll be in here for a while in that time I'm sure I could make great strides in my personal life and relationship with Jesus Christ but if Jesus isn't cool, I guess I'll pick up smoking these cigarettes don't help me write, but they shorten my life and add an urgent punch to my words I can't buy with any healthier methods I was on the phone with my dad, he said "Chris, this is your father, I've got a lot of news for you. It's been five weeks since you called, I mean since I heard your voice... you're not sounding good." I don't really like sitting at my computer anymore it feels like we're too good of friends at this point. I mean if you spend enough time with somebody and they really start to be your friend, you stop needing to fill all the silence with inconsequential shit. you only say the words you really need to say. I don't need to spend another hour on Youtube or Pornhub or another pirated movie. So I'll sit in a puddle of internet ennui, staring at my desktop for twenty-five minutes till I turn it off without even saying a word I am trying to carry on with my thoughts but I can't fall asleep without my phone I am trying to feel a sense of independency while holding my own is one point, two points colder it's a little better feeling at ease with my mistakes it feels great to see all the people I knew falling towards heights I never had the calling to call goals say, Lawrence Welk, I want to give you a big bag of money to see if you can put it in a place where nobody can use it to spread seeds of doubt that count you as a contributor to unequal class housing take the money, take the money Lawrence, take the money take the money please take the money, take the money don't take the money these cigarettes don't help me write, but they shorten my life and add an urgent punch to my words I can't buy with any healthier methods these cigarettes don't help me write, but they shorten my life and add an urgent punch to my words I can't buy with any healthier methods these cigarettes don't help me write, but they shorten my life and add an urgent punch to my words I can't buy with any healthier methods oooooEEEEooooo AAAAAEAAAAA OOOOHHHH YEAH! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH Oh you've walked these streets I don't want to hear you these cigarettes don't help me write, but they shorten my life and add an urgent punch to my words I can't buy with any healthier methods

a home is just a house with all your stuff in and around it and groceries are just plants and animals you eat with your mouth and poems are just words that sound like they go together and life is just a man on a line moving towards heaven If serial killers kill people there must be serial die-ers but nobody wants to die once so dying twice is just a game for liers and it hurts really bad right now, but my experiences tell me right now is right now so the pain is going to fade while right now moves towards a right now where the pain is gone, but the engine's still on He said "Brutus was a gift from God and Caesar's palace is a place for those who've fallen from him I never thought I'd find poetic justice like that in Las Vegas" Fear and loathing drive the motor, but someone else is steering the car your quick wit and kind heart are the parts that keep you in charge and it hurts really bad right now, but the engine's still on these cigarettes don't help me write, but they shorted my life and add an urgent punch to my words I can't by with any healthier methods (but it plays backwards)
