There is no objective meaning to life So how do you expect me to get down and deep With limited eyes seeing blinders in the corner of my peripherals? It's residual, I begged to shake these thoughts like snowflakes in a crystal, they have scattered up and down til I can't See the image plastered down the walls of my illusions Confusion? If only that was true, I see more now than I see in you How can I feel deep and meaningful when all of this contrived highlights It's all just my brain bleeding, scattered my drip drops of rage Do they flip flop? The page has hit lift off, I'm out of the realm of what I knew to be self development hell compelling me To scatter fragmants of wanton and wear But see unless I point that out you'd never know it's there Because I'm supposed to plaster on a smile and feed you lines that you desire to add meaning to life, or add a voice down the wire If I sit upon my laurels you'd think that I had nothing new to say or never thought about abstractions til they bubble and boil to heady broth overflowing staining the floors screaming "my god make this stop" I don't wear my head upon my sleeve, I keep my helmet on So go ahead and think I'm surface level, I also like to be wrong Talk to your friends, I'm sure they're dark and mysterious They have such strong perspectives, they're in touch with the furious I need to voice at all times? Does my bark not befit you I'm not a dog meant to bark at every meaning that drives through I take no solace in wallowing in the depth of another I don't expect you to read this and gain a sense of the other I'm not writing to bring you a route down back to your soul Because you're soulless and weary, I don't claim that I have control We're spinning in the toilet in a chamber of meaning Whose **** stinks more than others, why lets compare them and eat it Consuming excretions is all you get from your dealings Because nothing is deep, when the bottom is fleeting.

Nothing is deep when the bottom is fleeting
There is no objective meaning to life So how do you expect me to get down and deep With limited eyes seeing blinders in the corner of my peripherals?

If only that was true, I see more now than I see in you How can I feel deep and meaningful when all of this contrived highlights It's all just my brain bleeding, scattered my drip drops of rage Do they flip flop?
