not god, but something real

 

the kids all just want to get you high

 

everyone says it only hurts for a little while

 

dead man says this shit can only get better

 

it was summer and then it was too late

NEW WORK AT

INDEFINITE SPACE

failures and fuck-ups and losers

NEW WORK AT

FINE PRINT 

good fucking times in the kingdom of nil

 

but then who're you gonna kill after everyone is dead?

 

choking on the bones of christ

 

got there too late, no one alive

 

the absolute hell of being all you can be

 

In defense of my unpopularity,

I've read a selection of what is considered "popular" these days,

and a lot of it is fairly craptacular.

Just sayin'.

man who owns the country killing those with nothing because he can

 

NEW WORK AT

nothing but fools preaching the wisdom of false gods

 

ALL GRAVY, ALL THE TIME

everyone says you're going to die someday

 

everything you believe in, divided by zero

 

all the motherfuckers in the world, and you

and maybe you're born an addict, or maybe you just die that way

 

and you know that everything i've ever written is a lie

 

everyone's a minor god, a junkie, a failed prophet

 

like sucking marrow from the bones of the past; like that

 

despair as the drug of motherfuckers

 

truth is never truth until it actually happens

 

can you be a man who builds bombs and also be a man who believes in god?
