History Lesson Part 2
You’re tired? How is it that you manage to lose everyone?
You’re bored? How is it that you can’t learn from history and separate?
You’re done? How is it that you were unable to think ahead and make a move?
You’re so fucking pissed at yourself.
You’re unable to do anything.
Rather than want and act, you just sit and agree.
You can’t break your own patience.
You can’t break your own silence.
You can’t break the wall that you’re still building.
You love Pink Floyd but why can’t you learn?
You’ve become “Comfortably Numb” to your own stupidity and existence.
You need to stop it.
You need to stop waiting and watching and you need to act.
GOD DAMMIT!!
You need to act right now!!
Too late; you’ve given up.
Just nod. Just agree. Just sit through the awkwardness until you can get home.
The sun’s still burning on this one but your heart needs to be sealed once again.
SHUT IT NOW!!!
Close your new, rusty tin.
Just think, “Where are your friends?” Well, they’re gone. Twice. You’ve finished your final obligations to one and you’re still subtracting from the other.
Time to move.
Time to act.
Stop leaving your soul lit like the joint you’re still burning in your mind.
It’s not worth waiting.
It’s not worth hanging around.
Don’t leave them in debt, be your own debt.
Leave.
Run.
GET THE FUCK OUT!!
End.
Tomorrow is a wet dream that wishes expect.
But, for you, tomorrow is a wish in-and-of-itself, so what does that make your wish's dream?
Return.
Recede.
Go back to your start.
You don’t need help to close up shop.
It’s closing time and the key is already in the lock.
Put out the joint on your forearm, it’ll make you feel something again.
