Not Tomorrow but the Next Day
Is our humanity only a problem to be solved? I wonder. We kind of act that way. There's no depravity or violence we can't rationalize away with a clever twist of logic. What's not to love, I mean really? It was modernity that gave us the Hot Pocket, intercontinental ballistic rockets and R. Kelly's Trapped in the Closet. If I sound weary, I am. Weary of painting. Wary of poetry. Creative human achievements, they're all so petty. Moving a little further along an already dreary road. I'm sorry. I can't be happy for you, bro. And we all think we're so interesting. No. Fuck all the striving I'd rather be done with the hard trying, secretly crying on an airplane and not caring about my cousin dying. Don't worry about me. I'm fine, said pretty much every fucked-up person of all time. But I mean it. I'm probably fine. I imagine this is how sensitive and intelligent people feel pretty much all the time.
90 seconds from now this will all be over
12 hours from now you'll be sleeping in your bed
This time tomorrow this will just be a memory
This time next year you won't remember what was said
A few minutes later you'll realize it doesn't matter
And you'll just go back to doing whatever it is you do
But many years from now, when you are much much older
This may very well haunt you
60 seconds from now this will all be over
12 hours from now you'll be resting in your bed
This time tomorrow this will just be a memory
This time next year you won't remember what was said
A few minutes later you'll realize it doesn't matter
And you'll just go back to doing whatever it is you do
But many years from now, when you are much much older
This may very well haunt you
30 seconds from now this will all be over
12 hours from now you'll be resting in your bed
This time tomorrow this will just be a memory
This time next year you won't remember what was said
A few minutes later you'll realize it doesn't matter
And you'll just go back to doing whatever it is you do
But many years from now, when you are much much older
This may very well haunt you
10 seconds from now this will all be over
