You Can't Spell Brainwashed Without a Bad Whiner

from ISH? by Al Murb

/

lyrics

I’ve become duller than dirty dishwater
Dumber than the public perceives a 36 year old dishwasher.
I make believe in my daily life
That my nightly life is just harmless practice
For the future that my making believe’s ruthlessly beheading.

A hike at night
Out of all sight
The breeze whips
It’s serene.
I’m brainwashed
So my head feels clean.
Till I hear some sticks snapping so wickedly
The smell of pine trees replaced by copper
Guess it don’t matter where I’m at.
I’m always nearby a heart stopper.

I fooled myself once.
I fooled myself twice.
I fooled myself 36 times.
I fooled myself a thousand times.
I fooled myself a million times.
I fooled myself a million and 36 times.

Part of me is a narcissist
The parts all around that are crippling self doubt
Out on the porch with a bucket of candy for my insecurities.
It’s always October in my head.
The month where you can get away with just hiding your head in a mask of your choice of repulsive acts.

Perhaps I should take up praying.
It’s not like I don’t already rely on forces outside my control for every little thing I should know.
