Silicon and Theory, or the Opposite Of.

By antiScripsony

Victoria,
I want a do over, wipe the slate clean
Isabella,
I have all the equations and machines
Elizabeth,
I just wanted to re-do this year
Catherine,
Tells me it's not worth the risk to civilization
Friendly masturbation is a stressful situation

Habit forming, I just can't shake
Locked to the cold as long as I can stay awake
And I wish you would shut off your god damned fan
I'm busting out the greater thans

Victoria,
A relief from the airdrops of ire
Isabella,
Care packages in the middle of the fire
Elizabeth,
Your bravery proves you a tolerable replacement
Catherine
Doesn't care about what happens to civilization
We bring both our nations to combined militarization

A steady buzz
Says to repair the guitar
Even though the other strings are a perfect pentagon
It's fine when I bend but then just in case
I've yet to get to the guitar store
I can never use a metaphor

I think you verb the nouns from your terrible speech impediment
You just kept getting shot by all your friends in the tenements
I'd love to undermine you with my postgraduate experiment
But you don't represent the ideals forty feet from Thomas Jefferson

I haven't told you about the ending to the movie that I wrote
It's only fifty six minutes long
I could draw you a little picture so I don't spoil the copyright
We'll strip for a loophole

It's colder than hell, which doesn't say much
I thought I saw you breathing but I guess you were just touched
The reaction is always worth the dividends
A chemical reaction to potassium in the air

Push to the stack and it fills up too fast
You have to make it figure out what it tried to do last
Don't corrupt the stack, just corrupt EBP
I told you to say sorry

I'm better than the paint-cracked concrete on the ground
I'm much better looking than your friends
You get a murder on CD then you get the death sound
And you replace it with an LP and then

Maybe it's just the Newports I refuse to smoke
Or the two cold hours where you chose to soak
Maybe it's knowing the option isn't there
Unless I misunderstand the idea of somewhere

Victoria,
Deserving of a night and nine
Isabella,
Doesn't garner the 88 lines
Elizabeth,
Is the loudest and doesn't deserve irony
Catherine,
Has abandoned civilization
It's all late registration versus Late Registration.

Victoria smiles for a long long while
Isabella breaks her leg on the stairs
Elizabeth falls asleep, I knew I'd never keep
Catherine, for restarting our nation
I'm gonna go play Civilization.
