lyrics
A:
i'm sorry that i came home smelling like cigarettes. someone got on top of the parking garage and they tried to jump off at school today. i had to relieve some stress but the pigs were all about so i pulled out a cigarette, tried to ignore the all the screams ringing out from 50 feet away. i'm just not built for this shit. i forgot to brush my teeth before i went in to work so i took out the most bitter gum that i own and i chewed it until i couldn't take the taste anymore and i brought my mace so if somebody follows me like that one time, instead of actually hurting somebody, i can just spray and run the fuck
away.
B:
i'm just not built for this world, i'm just not made from this earth. this place is collapsing, can't you see? and every day the city sinks just a little more and nobody really knows how much time we have left. at the end of everything, you'll hold on to anything
C:
i don't wanna cause alarm. i don't feel like this is gonna work. i don't wanna cause alarm, but we can feel the end times coming. we don't wanna make a scene. it feels like we're on the brink of full collapse. buildings are toppling, they're building mass grave sites, for everyone, everyone, everybody's gonna fucking die!
D:
it's the end of the world
(for a whole lot of regular people this whole thing's gonna mean that they die for a whole lotta horrible people everything is going to be fine for a whole lot of innocent people their lives have been put on the line generations of lifetimes of people put to an end all for the bottom line)

{i'm sorry that i came home smelling like cigarettes. i promise i won't relapse, it will not happen again. i feel like a total jerk, i think i'm a complete wreck. i wanna go back in time, i wanna go fix this mess}

continuing from FIYH, this is blackpilled as all fuck; written and delivered with the raw candidness and self-mocking bitterness of a high-schoolers journal, and set to beats that are laser-focused to keep my distractable mind topped up on angry dopamine. A tight 21 minutes of weaponised disgust. Tom Colquhoun
