Your glass is half full when you're filling it up
and half empty when you're drinking it down
is it that hard to tell that I'm the emptiest shell that's been
drunken and stumbling around, oh dear.
Pick yourself up off the ground,
domesticate that frown and feel euphoria
Radiate exaggerated helpings of hope
through every slippery slope and leave the home again.
Wanderlust and currency are keeping me down,
I counted 27 envelopes just looking around.
Asphyxiate.
You'll never know that sensation I get. my friends,
I've been feeling afflicted with fathoms of taverns' consumption percent.
Personally i prefer just an ardent allusion, but to an extent.
I've been faithfully bathing and making good use of a commoner's sense,
Perforating pretense, a primary defense of your past— but a lie never lasts.
I've been faithfully fishing and wishing a worm to outlast.
