You're Welcome - Nowhere

How much can I take till I call it quits?

How long can my legs keep running like this?

Until they give in, until my liver gives up?

My lungs are blackened, but that’s how I like 'em

I’m pushing the limits, until they push me back

I’m on the edge of the mountain calculating the gap between a rock and a hard

place

A palace and a pit, but I remember death never lies to the people who lived

Death never lies to the people who lived

Death never lies to the people who lived

Death never lies to the people who live

You can have credit for all the Goddamn work that I did

You’re welcome

A time capsule casket closed containing all the words I ever spoke

And I wonder if anyone would care enough to dig it up in ten years

It’s weird to think about: everything pure will eventually be relevant even if

the artist isn’t here for it

You could die as a failure, but future figure because whatever current culture

couldn’t comprehend it

It’s a poet’s curse

And it only gets worse

They’re only open to your words A.D. like a convertible hearse

The most underground artist — the one that is buried in this dirt — has always

felt buried under the pressure of the world

Because we’re all in debt to serve good deeds

We’re all in debt financially

We’re in the depths of being destined to die, but we’re born to live so we live

to leave

Because we’d rather be elsewhere

Fuck it

I’d rather be someone else and I’ll leave my environment before I let it define

myself

I take the landscape-goat that forever defines my fate

The freeway leads to the grave

It’s all down hell from here, unless we’re road kill on the way

And I chase my dreams because my nightmares chase me and the terror of being

forgotten is haunting

Often times, I’m left wandering- wondering if the world will ever know?

Will I not get a chance or make no change like putting a ghost on death row?

I prayed to the eight ball god and all I got was, «Try again later,»

But I don’t think I will because I fear the word «No» more than my deathbed

I don’t like the odds of the future in this being pretend, because they’re not

in my favor

Like five in the chamber to my head playing reverse Russian roulette

But what else do I have but to make something shovel worthy?

I’m working on zombie words in case the casket comes early

They say nothing worth having comes this easy, but having nothing’s been the

hardest thing to happen to me

And it’s not about the money;

it’s about the dream

But how bleak the world seems when they’re both out of reach and I’m still

reaping the shadows

A future bound for the gallows

I use to spotlight to pause life and just see the momentary clarity that is me:

The confessions of the godless

Finding more guidance in a magic eight ball of responses that uses the same

illogic

Of asking questions we don’t want answers to

Praying for things we don’t need

Planning for a tomorrow even though there’s no guarantee but we still sing

Here’s to hoping

Here’s to coping

Here’s to dying on your knees

Here’s to losing everyone and everything because you cut off your own feet

Here’s to shoving religion down my throat hoping that I choke

But I won’t because I can’t live or die for something I can’t see

For something I just can’t see, I can’t see

Something I can’t see

I can’t see

(I can’t see)

The sunrise with my eyes I can see today, I can see me

And those are the only things that I’ll ever believe, because tomorrow I’ll

feel like a death row ghost again with no role in modern civilization,

because making memories is making cemeteries out of us

Because if we’re underground long enough, then we’re dead
