What does it matter?
What does anything matter?
We will all be dust flying in the wind eventually.
These futures don't happen the way the brochures said.
They are more than a dissapointment, they are an embarrassment to mankind.

We roll over far too easily,
Distracted by shiny objects no one needs but everyone gravitates towards.
Theres no reason to be angry, its just wasted energy.
If we spent as much time thinking as we did wishing,
Maybe, just maybe, we would finally get somewhere.

The old floor boards.
A trickle down,
The busted pipes,
A symphony for me,
Parnoid at night.

Fall down the stairs
Then curse a whole bunch.
Line up the victims,
According to weight.
Turn off all,
Sources of heat,
So the squeaking will stop
Waking me early.

Smoke detectors go off
Without giving notice.
And last calls go by,
Without a warning sign.
Let this be an exception,
I'm exempt from the rule
