It's All Guaranteed

it's hopeless out here,
in a world ruled by fashion
in a society ruled by discontent
in a place where no one can be free
mentally
it's dreamless out here,
walking zombies
blood sucking leeches
they stick to your heart and brain
and suck every pure thing out of you until
you can no longer be what you were when you
decided what you wanted and how you wanted
your reality to correspond
it all ends the same
badly
what have we learned?
laugh at everything
and understand nothing
taunt everyone
and subconsciously destroy every living
being
we can all erase pictures and notes,
we can burn possessions at the steak
we can tell ourselves all day,
that things are gone
but your memory can destroy you
as it tried to destroy me before
as it will try to destroy me again
you may not know why you are even here
but you also realize that it's not to be here
or there
drive out to the mountains
drive out to the sea
nothing waits for you out there
like nothing waits here for me
