I May Be Vapid (but at least I can dance)

By antiScripsony

Potholes of hopelessness
Wider than the hope you're less
You tell me and you tell me, you tell me again

Taut rope between the two
Let me know if there's anything new or
If you're still angry after sleep

Autoconfirming email evidence
My waves make theory, so yours take precedence
It's not worth a further thought
Teeming crowds of teenage sycophants
Haven't yet accepted utter irrelevance
It's not unique unless you can compare

So let's go back to sleep
It's not worth the tongue in my cheek
Mine alone can't stop these wisdom teeth
Let's dream of life
The inverse was gone overnight
And I couldn't stand to go on another ride
I'll leave you be
I can't draw what I've seen
These suits don't afford any expressive motion

Bratwurst and Chipotle pasta
Solitaire and online Canasta
The cloud around the days are making me sick

Vector art is overrated
Cause the only thing I can do is imitate it
I'll take my photos any day

Seven hours of rearrangement
Moving my first name to danger
Desert sands and cowboy towns
Fiddle music reinvented
So this time, you know they meant it
Or maybe it's just a distortion pedal

So let's go back to sleep
It's not worth the tongue in my cheek
Mine alone can't stop these wisdom teeth
Let's dream of life
The inverse was gone overnight
And I couldn't stand to go on another ride
I'll leave you be
I can't draw what I've seen
These suits don't afford any expressive motion

Had an hour that I didn't get through
Didn't know the last thing to say to you
So I damned the wind and I shuffled on
