Everyday

from Sheer Curtain by Alex Curtis

lyrics

every day

i am leaping with the same intensity forward

today I forgo my personality
in the name of the Greater Good

the worst is knowing that at night
i go
to sleep
at roughly
the same evening hour

and even in my dreams
i’m spending time
waiting in a line at the grocery store

how about an admission?
will you receive my transmission?

or am I a stunned pigeon
cooing
stupidly
into a cosmic abyss

of course you’d love to read it

i’m depraved and indecent
shouting lunacy and spitting frothy drool
onto the hairs on my chest

and standing erect
like a monolith
held up by post-coital tristesse

but I don’t have to believe in myself because

everyday

very good try they tell me with a sick warm look in their eyes

you are the ubiquitous monobloc
and we’re all sitting down on the job

the sun is dropping below the horizon now
the last light of day disappearing

and it’s a grand primrose smear
across the sky

everything goes black in an instant
and I close my eyes and jump in it

i’m counting down the minutes
the minutes
the minutes
the minutes
the minute

and I have nothing left to say
i have nothing left to say
have nothing left to say
nothing left to say
left, to say
to say
say

ad infinitum

everyday
everyday
everyday
everyday
everyday
everyday
everyday
every day

a nihilistic and unholy meditation
people just love
letting you waste their time
they embrace the message about the human condition

and if you tell them it’s on purpose
and for
the sake
of ART

well they just about explode with dumb joy

but let’s not get personal
give no discernible details
let no vicious patterns repeat themselves
endlessly

it’s all just vague outlines
amorphous shapes

no fucking geometry
no hard lines

no proper nouns
no Christian names

that’s the great vision that came to me
in my dreams

didactic is the new romantic

we all know too much about each other
and we hate each other now

we hate each other more and more

EVERYDAY EVERYDAY EVERYDAY EVERYDAY EVERYDAY EVERYDAY EVERYDAY EVERYDAY
