when you find yourself lying,
neither dead nor alive
living, denying
or lack of your try
cry not of the velvet fog
that creeps upon your mind
and do not suffer, do not pry
for pain will be all you will find.
when your life burns beneath you
the life you have not yet lived
and you find yourself alone
with the reaper, having no soul to give
cry not from lack of heart
the heart that you kept, yet never your own
for the grave that lies without your soul
will be covered in your heart of stone.
In spite of her money
and her evening fur coat
I did not envy her riches
nor her Brazilian wooded boat.
I did not envy her dress
at the scarlet evening mass
nor did I dazzle- upon her watch
and watch the hands tickle pass.
I did not wish to be greeted
before everyone else, by the host
nor given fine wine by paid actors
addressing me with titles, worthy of a boast!
The glowing eyes of those waiters
who wished the be the money they served
who wished to wear those sharp trimmed suits
instead of handing out hors d'oeuvres.
I see the moths- the men and girls
that flutter, in dim light
with their royal, east egg money
those rich red parties, warm summer nights.
I see blue eyes, I see sinners
we watch them drink away.
We do not envy their scarlet coats
nor their drunken, wasted days.
a spit take isnt enough i need some pearls to clutch
someone tell me why comedically stepping around like this actually feels like im being quieter

there is too much music i need to listen to. i cannot bear it. there are so many albums and every time i find an album there is another album and then another album and then a bunch of singles and then another reddit post titled "greatest punk album of the year?" and suddenly it has 326 comments naming a bunch of punk albums i need to listen to, and of course all the comments say completely different bands, and so now i go listen to one of the albums and suddenly im going down a rabbit hole of their glorious music and i simply do not have the time to go listen to all the other 325 albums from that reddit post, and much less time to go scavenge the internet archive for 60s garage bands but if i do not find a way to listen to every single music in the world i will cry. life is hard man
