Comedown

Is life imitating art or is art imitating life? Eventually there will be nothing left to hide Save your sorrys   It's time for me to cool your mind and tell you it's all alright We're the pop-up's on your phone screen Sending you little blurbs Memes are funny because they're true At least to you You're the hypochondriacs Who convinced yourselves you need to be healed With a numbness cure by posts that make you feel There will be a new one, if you like the last Is life imitating art or is art imitating life? Eventually there will be no where left to hide Save your sorrys   It's time for me to cool your mind and tell you it's all alright This is a beat generation But with less respect but way more dope The question is "why should I?" Our answer is always "I don't know" We're yesterdays news and tomorrows punchline Never even had chance Self-entitlement won't ease the situation Of our need for instant gratification I need a drink in my system to take off the edge I need a lie to make me feel safe I have an axe in my skull splitting my brain Is it me or the world who's insane? Upload, like, follow Reblog, comment, unfollow What's hot is hot now but not tomorrow Will your words hold up or drop out?        -Tommy Johnson
