Here, it's come: impossibility of the interaction situation
Devastation shall commence in silence, a frozen glance
Frozen in memory like a trance
Fuck! I don't want to deal
Don't want to do another repeat of this whole fucking spiel
I never signed a contract for this shit--
“These three words here ten times a day
“Sound earnest! Act like you love the show!
“Really grow into the character till you can't tell”--
Tell what? That I used to have a penis and a mote of courage?
That I wouldn't take all this social nonsense?
Bow down to the God of taboo and peer influence?
Write a fucking memoir in my will to my kid?
“Enjoy life while it lasts son... it's just a blast!”
Yeah that's rich. Condense 50 years to a 10-word axiom.
So what is this just a rant profuse with profane
Stuff? Did I say enough, too much? I'll refrain
Restrain, sit back and let the world drain and drain
I'll behave, institutionalize my brain and obey,
Knock off another 40-hour hallucination, delusion
Fast-paced American confusion--
Always thinking that the meaningless is Real
Always hoping that the meaningful is just a Dream
And assured beyond a shadow of a doubt that
Dreams
Are
Never
Real

Great addition, Dan! The "I'll refrain, restrain, sit back and let the word drain and drain / I'll behave, institutionalize my brain and obey..." part really rocked me. Thanks for contributing man.
