Old
the familiar feeling
that same old song
I thought I would avoid it
I thought I'd be strong
but I too fell prey
to the butcher
of youthful dreams
a fearsome foe
I remember them so well
those sweet days
of knowing everything for sure
now every time
I speak my mind
it only takes a while
and I resign
is it apathy
or just nuance?
relativity
or giving up?
is this what they meant
with growing up?
someone young
remind me how it's done

Slaver

Slaver
your children smile
from your desk
a band around your finger
the new girl’s got great ambitions
you can’t deny your interest in her
you've convinced yourself
a thousand times before
one more won't hurt
yeah, just one more
your will is strong - still you slaver
your will is strong
three guys stop you
and push you around
your hand, to your surprise
reaches inside of your pocket to find
tonight somebody dies
you think yourself master of rationale
we are just
another species
loyal subjects
in the kingdom
of Animalia
and our devices
are so clever
our will is strong but still we slaver
our will is strong but still...

Death of inquiry

Death of inquiry
a crutch in these hard times
a sense of belonging
the answer to questions
but to me
a deaf ear to problems
a base for prejudice
the death of inquiry
though I would be
the last to oppose
reverie
and I have been known
to ward off the throes
with my escapist ways
that doesn't mean
it should intervene
with actual progress towards
the coming of brighter days
I take comfort in the fact
I still take comfort in facts
not some sweet fantasy
but observable reality

Instant gratification

Instant gratification
you should be happy
leave it at that
the pain is an
unavoidable side-effect
all this welfare
has to come from somewhere
who's suffering for
my instant
gratification
sometimes I try
to turn a blind eye
as I revel in
my instant
gratification
avert your eyes, son
there's nothing to be done x2
and I'm bastard
who dares to complain
take it all in stride
stop looking for someone to blame x2
shut your mouth
over privileged fuck
enjoy what you have
your instant
gratification
watch some TV
vote for the party
that ensures the future of
your instant
gratification
avert your eyes son,
there's nothing to be done
you should be happy
leave it at that
the pain is an
unavoidable side-effect
