Myopia

Seems nothing around here makes much sense anymore
seems like the world’s been lurking around outside my door
hoping to catch me when my resistance is low
hoping to kill me for doing all that crap so
here I am again flying without a net
here I am again getting high, a little off ben
there I am again soaring through the sky
here I am again caring more about the lie
seems no one around here gives a shit who they screw
seems like the whole race is living in the slew
happy little fuckers making this life hell
happy stupid people, isn’t life just swell?

here I am again falling too far down
here I am again tripping on my own frown
here I am again raking through the coals
here I am again losing all my jewels
maybe this temporary blast
could be the moment that will last
but my optimism never can hold out
every man’s a lout
maybe all of it’s my fault
hide away my feelings in my vault
but my pessimism seems correct
me,
you,
everyone’s a mental defect
