i smoke way too fucking much,
but i haven't coughed in a couple months.
i want to go outside. i haven't in days.
why don't you make up your mind,
and tell me all the things you'd say
if you were real,
and i'm not real.
how do you feel?
'cause i don't feel.
everything is gray except for ten minutes a day,
but still i stay inside.
i can't afford what i steal,
i don't want to finish a meal,
and every night i fall asleep terrified.
my dog doesn't look at me when i'm sad,
and she didn't care when i was gone for weeks.
i wonder if she'd care if i left.
i wonder if i mean as much as she means to me,
but i'm not real,
and you're not real.
how does she feel?
i feel too much.
give me an excuse
to follow anything out of this town.
rip the band-aid off,
and then just steal my paper crown.
i'll mind at first, but i assure you,
i'll get over it.
just dive head first into a life that's made up of fucking bullshit.
