Sitting in class In front of the blank white math test I was in the process of failing That I had skipped first period to study for And instead just smoked my final final cigarette I had a grand realization I'm an idiot I don't know how I hadn't realized it before Between breaking my new phone to try and prove to my friends it was unbreakable And sitting on my roof cardboard wings duck taped to my arms With plastic shopping bag parachutes strung about my neck Or when I asked I girl I hardly knew to a dance I hardly wanted to go to Or at the dance, when I ditched her to laugh at the kid barfing in a stall From the *** cookie he had just eaten Honest mistake, I did it my first time, too Eating acid turned out fine, though Mushrooms, almost made me **** downtown But hey, Shiva's in the walls I love an audience And I know they love my cusses Once I put my arm around the wrong date No just kidding, I don't date On vacation, I got stabbed between my small toe and the next With a pencil Now I'm afraid of wearing flip flops I biked over the same patch of broken glass in the street Three days in a row before I finally got a flat I put duct tape on the frame of my new bike, It looked cool, And cutting it off with a kitchen knife I sliced my wrist and nicked a tendon Shot myself in the thigh with a BB gun To prove it didn't hurt to people that didn't care Twice Shot my neighbor, too I told her parents it was an accident Statistically plausible, but not this time Got in a fight with my best friend And made a Facebook status about how boring it was being suspended Broke a sprinkler when I was bored Blamed it on raccoons It didn't work, the neighbors had caught on to me Love poems don't come easy Which is weird, They're always better when no one loves you back So I have a surplus And apparently they say, Giving that stuff away for free Is a bit of a crime Like trying not to rip my already ripped pants or Putting a sticker on my cello I couldn't peel off Climbing over barbed wire to get high by the octopus tree I should of checked the penal code Hiking at night is a crime Ranger D. Heimer wanted me to tell you It's okay, he's an idiot, too September is not the eighth month The handwriting on the citation isn't half bad, though In the last three months, I've had four flats on my bike I haven't learned yet The wheel still sitting in the hallway I lost the repair kit You think it it would of sunk in before I failed my fifth math test in a row I went to a party, And I didn't do blow Because I was tripping too hard The white line looked too weird, And my nose was still burning from the last line. I dropped my ipod in the toilet Then I dropped my dad's, too Talked to gutter punks (that's not the stupid part) And shared a pipe with the sickest of the trio Yeah, I'm sick now Got angry at my mom, But of course, I'm an angsty teen, Decided to bike to the top of the greatest little hill around And gave up three fourths of the way there At least I gave one of my friends the chance to see me in that state, His house was on the way, And they say that bliss comes in two ways, In ignorance or in enlightenment That's too many choices for me So instead I elected myself martyr And grew my hair out to look like Jesus Christ But now I just look like Charles Manson I was going to do no-shave November But I started too early And ended even earlier And that was before I realized I couldn't grow a beard Fool me once, shame on you Fool me twice, shame on me Fool me thrice, and the fourths for free, I make my own omens, Then happily misread them. So it might be starting to sink in, But I don't think it matters much Being stupid is a **** good time Next Saturday, you're all invited.

I'm an idiot
Sitting in class In front of the blank white math test I was in the process of failing That I had skipped first period to study for And instead just smoked my final final cigarette I had a grand realization I'm an idiot I don't know how I hadn't realized it before Between breaking my new phone to try and prove to my friends it was unbreakable And sitting on my roof cardboard wings duck taped to my arms With plastic shopping bag parachutes strung about my neck Or when I asked I girl I hardly knew to a dance I hardly wanted to go to Or at the dance, when I ditched her to laugh at the kid barfing in a stall From the *** cookie he had just eaten Honest mistake, I did it my first time, too Eating acid turned out fine, though Mushrooms, almost made me **** downtown But hey, Shiva's in the walls I love an audience And I know they love my cusses Once I put my arm around the wrong date No just kidding, I don't date On vacation, I got stabbed between my small toe and the next With a pencil Now I'm afraid of wearing flip flops I biked over the same patch of broken glass in the street Three days in a row before I finally got a flat I put duct tape on the frame of my new bike, It looked cool, And cutting it off with a kitchen knife I sliced my wrist and nicked a tendon Shot myself in the thigh with a BB gun To prove it didn't hurt to people that didn't care Twice Shot my neighbor, too I told her parents it was an accident Statistically plausible, but not this time Got in a fight with my best friend And made a Facebook status about how boring it was being suspended Broke a sprinkler when I was bored Blamed it on raccoons It didn't work, the neighbors had caught on to me Love poems don't come easy Which is weird, They're always better when no one loves you back So I have a surplus And apparently they say, Giving that stuff away for free Is a bit of a crime Like trying not to rip my already ripped pants or Putting a sticker on my cello I couldn't peel off Climbing over barbed wire to get high by the octopus tree I should of checked the penal code Hiking at night is a crime Ranger D.
