lyrics

Cheers
Here's to my life
I'll be dead before I know what any of it meant
Cheers
Here's to my health
May my mind self-destruct before my body
Cheers
Here's to my friends
They'll take advantage of me even in my grave
Cheers
Here's to my accomplishments
Of which I can count on one hand only
Cheers
Here's to the music
It couldn't save me, even from myself
Cheers
Here's to my addictions
Without which, I would have never had the ability to forget

And here we are, victims of circumstance all over and over again. And I know that I am worthless but I also know that I am everything. Being accepting of the fact that I am nothing allows me to be anything. Going anywhere in the slow fabric of time, manipulating destiny and chance, I am God, Allah, the El. I am my creator and I am in control. And there is something intangible, separated from language going on, festering, charging, building inside of my head, my chest, behind my eyes. It has always been there and now it's built cities in the folds of my brain, and soon the world will be visible. I can hear it but it's just static and someone turns up the volume every once and a while. Every blue moon I accept the gift of moonlight and then it is gone. Back to rebuilding, rewiring, reworking, controlling, dictating but doing so so quietly so quiet it scratches, itches, the water it babbles, not roars, it is calm but still flowing always flowing, leading somewhere, smoothing rocks into pebbles, eroding, eating, erasing the Earth, making change. I will change with it soon, soon enough. I am restless and almost ready. I am conquering darkness by submitting to it. Don't go away. Don't, don't do it.
