Kids Are Off The Table!

from 2 present by Stockholm Syndrome

/

lyrics

Agony- among other things,

like waiting out the smiles,

Never ends -



They never come, living life in reverse. future first now later- when you realize you have done nothing/

Reminiscing on happy memories that may or may not come,

Because they usually don’t/ so you have to invent them in order to keep going.



Because if you knew the ugly truth,

You’d stop trying and lie down in the fields and move on to a place of full of platitudes and debate.



To be lying in among the flowers

Fading into the earth

Fertilizer is your future.



If my mother looking into a casket was not part of the process I’d already be lying among the daisies in a field somewhere.



Let’s not be plain spoken about these things.

She might read your poems one of these days.

We must be discreet.



And speak in euphemisms,

Euphemisms are like dreams/

speaking in dreams not tongues

Putting a blot on my tongue and speaking in tongues feeling as if I’m in a dream

And euphemisms, like dreams, will drive you mad



And I Thought about a dream too much/

Thought about reality too much/

Now I’m a mad man/

And mad men don’t really think after all

Their brains just grind against themselves until their hardened mush.

Mashed particulate

Not potatoes, but a similar consistency

Left out all night

In all the elements/



Save me heroin

Save me heroin marry

Save me virgin marry

Green but white and pure as snow

Save me snow

Save me green

Save me with shots to the head/

By the fifth shot I’m down

But an hour or so later

And as my insides writhe

I am no longer human/

But a living trapeze performance

Contortion in all

Contorting my body further to mush

But my mind is no longer mad

It’s just drunk

Or high

Or hopefully dead/

Dreams don’t inform your reality/

Yet that’s where they are based/

So like a sick body your mushed carcass of a mind is telling you something is wrong/

But your body and your mind are not doctors/

But they aren’t lawyers either/

So how must you divorce yourself from these thoughts/

Except for Mary and

Snow and

Nic and

Heroin and

Ketamine and

Euphoria/

Euphoria is the absence of thought/

The only thought being had is “this is what life is” and

“This is euphoria” and

“This is now

And not later

And not then”

And then you know

That nothing matters

And you slowly have too much euphoria/

Until you are dead/



And why would you be mad

when you could be dead

And you’d rather be dead then speak plainly to your mother




Or anyone really
