I like to see the Old Man now and then. Take good care to keep on speaking terms. A candid conversation affirms an inheritance, my own crown of thorns. I could chat all night, but I’ve got a bridge to burn— none of your concern. So let’s call this a short exercise in career suicide. You find some luck in toilsome times if Saint Sebastian smiles, or if you ever reconcile… …in the man you could be, the one you probably should be! But I’m not one to say; that a seed is sown and so we grow inevitably further away from the grit down in our guts, to the call that won’t shut up to come clean, today. Hell, I’d come clean, today. So let’s call this a short exercise in career suicide. You find some luck in toilsome times if Saint Sebastian smiles, or if you ever reconcile.

I’m consistently scared of scaring you off and all sorts of stuff, as if that weren’t enough, I really hate the sweat of summer. Some folks that get their degree turn out to be a bit unhappy I’ve got to agree, we all thought we were real contenders. But now we’re pretenders who keep fakin’ it ‘til we get sick of this shit, who work 9 to 5 and barely get by on our tips. I’ll be honest with you, ‘cause I shouldn’t be honest with me. I got a real’ bad case of bargain self-esteem. And I’m so fucking afraid of screwing this up, so pour me a shot of your cheapest stuff. I’ll put if off until tomorrow. And I hope you’ve got nothing to say ‘cause nothin’ will change me from acting this way other than my own willpower and true volition my staged suicide mission to get better if I ever stick to my plans to start acting more like the kids and less like the man. I’ll be honest with you, ‘cause I shouldn’t be honest with me. I got a real’ bad case of that bargain self-esteem. I’m consistently scared of scaring you off and all sorts of stuff.

Shit’s pretty admittedly ok, at least today. Don’t get me started on the things we’ve got in common, they’re no phenomena. Coincidence is relative, but offensive to the spirit in your heart. Please sing as loud as you are playing on your guitar. That would be the sound to see. Everything’s a melody, if you’ve got no intent to go far. So far, so what? (x2) Shit’s pretty admittedly ok, but in the worst way. Now you’ve got me started on the shit that we call problems, they’re no phenomena. Coincidently, I’ve got kids who resent me for needing a fresh start. I’ll play electric guitar! Hey Mom, here’s to being a star. That would be a travesty. music got the best of me, and I’ve got no intent to go far. So far, so what? (x2)
