Loud + Scary

from LAVA (A Vignette) by Al Murb

lyrics

I’ve never been to the East Coast but I have an urge to move to Pittsburgh.
There’s something gleaming in the water there
I’m sure.
I’m racing my friends to the grave
I feel so damn selfish but I just don’t think that I’d do as good without them as they would without me.

I’m a key straight locked inside the car
Forgotten.
I was too pouty.
Looking for the answers as I hang all alone
A cheat sheet needed of everything I’ve ever known.

Face glued to my phone
It failed.
I’m lonely.
I should read more books
But when I do I never want them to end.

Tried to be different
I’m the same.
I’m sorry.
I should watch less TV
I am a capitalist’s wet dream.

Everything I’m into is loud and scary.
Frightening, frightening, frightening, frightening.

Like a corporate executive needs marrow from a lamb
Sometimes I just need to hear I’m loved the way I am.
Too bad everyone I know signs up to be hurt far too often
Myself included.
