Moving Out or Moving On?

by @cubicle-kryptonite

I went on a fishing trip and all I got was a bunch of worms. I opened every single can in an attempt to keep what I had earned. Tiresome days. Brightly lit nights. Beer-Battered and braised on the menu tonight. Brains splattered and bruised in the venue tonight. You bring the torches, and I'll supply the mob. We'll rob this town of all it's got, Ransack every single plot, So that tomorrow's day will show no light. Observe the unheard With their leaves all unturned. Sharply carved and crudely drawn. No plan of attack is the best defense, after all. Things are lookin up to me , so I'm climbing over walls. When my head hangs low another brick slips and falls. Push and shove, War of Tugs, Smiling mean mugs. Contrary to popular contradictions, Irony just packed its paradigms into cardboard paradoxes. Breathing heavily as I pack my life into a handful of moving boxes, I'm starting to remember what my floor looks like when it's not covered by useless possessions and countless pairs of boxers. That is to say, I'm grounded on this unfounded belief. Hail to the thief. My pen flows endlessly As I pretend to be The boy I used to see Before this evolutionary split Brought me to the grave of unspoken revolutionaries. I halfway wish you never met me. That that hallway conversation never came to be. That I could live out these days with a less poignant memory of agony. But I remember all that I've learned And that I'm not moving out, I'm moving on To somewhere  I can finally earn my own keep. I'll be around sometimes, but I'm currently unavailable, So please leave a message after the beep...
