Cornflakes

The air I breathe
Surrounds wealth and misery
A disappointing sight
A cascading shade of white
If his mouth is closed
It wont mean his ears are open
But an open mouth
Isn't worth what words spurt out
From the Cornflakes in the morning
The disappointment before bed
An axe will swing in silence
If the weight wont crush your neck
A chickens wing
Cast carelessly on the floor
There's no dignity
In the afterlife for sure
If his mouth is closed
It wont mean his ears are open
But an open mouth
Isn't worth what words spurt out
Am I crying enough
Am I smiling too much
Can't maintain myself right
Gotta even remind myself to wipe
The shit stains in the morning
From watching the news before bed
The mourners offer tears for
A cleaner conscience a clearer head
It's not been up all morning
Too tired before bed
An axe will swing in silence
If the weight wont crush your neck

Get out of my dreams
Was the first thing that I thought
When the wind stole my sheets
Spun me in somersaults
What does anything mean
When it can't be analysed
By a forensic team
Living inside of my mind
And they outstay their welcome
Loiter too long
There's too many people
In a place they don't belong
If you find another bed
Sleep there instead
Take your uptight conclusions
From a fleeting revolution
The most perfect conversation
Just happened in my head
Between me and my imagination
About what the news just said
We're all going deaf
We're all going blind
Shamefully shake our heads
When we don't like what we find
And we outstay our welcome
In public places
With our disgruntled friends
With their disgruntled faces
If you find another bed
Sleep there instead
Take your uptight conclusions
From a fleeting revolution

Just as the sights get set wrong
When someone turns the day on
I know it wont be long
Until excitement is gone
Although a smile is only a small sentence out of reach
I never hear it and I probably wont all week
It's always at the crack of dawn
I know excitement will be gone
It's hard to believe
That the universe has more up its sleeve
When I turn and face the sight of nothing
it'll still throw something at me
Only when a heart is broke
Along an optimistic road
Will bring you to some nihilist dream song
And all the excitement will be gone
It's hard to believe
That the universe has more up its sleeve
When I turn and face the sight of nothing
it'll still throw something at me

What Happened?

Where did all the time go?
What happened to the day?
2 minutes ago I checked my phone
But now I'm wasting away
What happened to my classmate?
They wont be growing grey
10 years ago I sat next to them
But now they're, sat in their grave
I walked past your house
Where you didn't make it to bed
Now your landlords kicking off
All that's left is your rent
Where did all my lust go?
Why did it wilt away
I sat down just to catch my breath
Now I've wasted the day
What happened to my cousin?
Kissing satellites in the sky
I wonder if anyone meets their sins and survives
I walked past your house
Where you didn't make it to bed
Now your landlords kicking off
All that's left is your rent
What happened to you?
My questions are few
Why was your life discarded like that?
For what it's worth
My lessons were learned
I'll hold my actions to account
If there's a plan for this
I don't want to know
Because the people who make the rules
Are colder than snow
If there's something after this
I don't want to know
Because the state your body was in
Was selfish and gross

Then I woke up

Hey you
Wake up
We've got so much time to kill
Hey kid
Perk up
We've got so many smiles to fake
Someone else's money to make
Heaven knows I'm upset
But I'm not ready for that place yet
Time hurts
From the minute we escape
I'm awake against my will
I'm tired and I can't sit still
If I can't love in an unhappy world
You can watch me hold my breath
From morning until death
Find myself struggling to speak
I haven't slept all week
I had a dream where I was happy
Then I woke up
