Behold, the grueling chore or stripping down to your birthday suit And listening to someone rattle off reasons why your appearance is sub-par   Prattling about the depravity of the beautiful people How they have to live in a world full of ugly, repugnant beings "You seem to fit that description" There's an elephant in the room and it's name is Irony Depth is on the clock and shallowness is timeless I deduce that you never got much attention as a child, and your parents put pressure on you with out considering that their callousness would rub off on you Now you pelt those you see with insults and cruelty When we met you came off as someone with unstable emotions You told me that the root of all evil is the body and blood of Christ And the expectations of your parents which they laid ahead of you we're unmet I remember when you consummated your marriage to bitterness   You did a banzai trip to the region of self-loathing for your honeymoon I saw you off at the airport You we're quasi-happy You brought your acoustic guitar and scribbled words Songs about undermining "The Man" Dismantling the establishment And grave robbing You came back with bags under your eyes A permanent frown A cup that could never be filled And a sense of superiority because you've suffered and no one could have survived what you'd been through You told me the secret to your success was revulsion And now you see me as scummy, worthless piece of nothing When you yourself have become a ghost's shadow of the shell of your former self Eat a **** my friend
