The Way I Feel - Dude York

Okay I’ll keep this short

I’m not up here for sport

So if you’re listening

I’m not complaining

But I take dangerously broke

The punchline to a joke

Then a two-liter of Coke

To clean behind that caution rope

Early bird pays fifteen bucks

Gets the worm to ride the bus

Waiting for an hour plus

Showed up twenty five years late

Every sidewalk has its cyclers

Every sidewalk hides a violence

Just pour the Coca-Cola

Bleach the pigment from the pavement

Oh that’s just the way

That’s just the way

Oh that’s just the way I feel, yeah

Oh that’s just the way

That’s just the way

Oh that’s just the way I feel, yeah

This is my final status

I leave it open ended

«What a cool cry for help»

I’m thinking to myself

As I Google «Group Health»

Get directories pulled up

To friend my therapist

I message «hey, what’s up?»

Legally, he can’t respond

I know this

But legitimately, I need a reaction

And then in our next session

Neither of us mention

I promise

I’ll never lie to you again

Oh that’s just the way

That’s just the way

Oh that’s just the way I feel, yeah

Oh that’s just the way

That’s just the way

Oh that’s just the way I feel, yeah
