"All the birds around here look sick"

Long for a pure existence. Safe inside the comfort - Of my own mind. Contemplating this idea Of throwing it all away. Head for the hills,            for the mountain peaks,              for the coast. Content of my wallet is fitting- No paper, No value to the plastic. So, whats the point? Working towards working towards dying. Fuck all that, I'm out. You cant buy clarity, At least I dont think you can. Grew up in the country. God I miss the birds. All the birds around here look sick. I think it's from eating so much fast food. Miss the stars too. Miles and miles, stretching - Pin-points of untouched hope. Thats gotta be pure, to think - That star is a part of everything And everything a part of it.
