decadent

We’re all just so clever, so tragically unbalanced But I woke with a new kind of obsessive disturbance I’m finally shutting up with all the pretentious little dialogues I’m not special, I’m detached, burn down the inner monologue This scene’s dead, this scene’s gone there’s no enlightenment in store This love’s dead, this love’s gone Just leave me to rot with futile lore I don’t belong to meaningful existence I’m never coming back despite your persistence Highly stylized poseurs, highly addictive pills So glamorous, my life’s work will be cheap thrills You write your fucking witticisms and poems to adorn Crushed between pointless inner battles, constantly torn Encircled by the same bullshit unsolvable your entire life Ok, you’re brilliant, but I’m free, but I’m going out tonight And every night I sleep, my conscious becomes softer And every morning I wake, I wake with nothing more to offer So stare up into the stars, direct your profound scenes I used to waste so many nights planning, wondering what it all means Micro manage feelings while I succumb to blurry haze Controlled by a constant pounding beat, sensuality ablaze You’re too curious, too poetic, and far too intense I’m living in a world ruled only by impulse, only by decadence Your burdened search for originality You’re brilliant, but I’m free.
