Today I Will Be Sad

from Sheer Curtain by Alex Curtis

/

lyrics

today i will be sad
but not for the first time
and i won't be sad for long

i will meditate on the anomie
of a life handed down
by some higher powers
whose unsure orders emanate from glowing screens
in lonely bedrooms
but then i will feel affirmed by my purpose in it all

i will spend the rest of the day
in a refuge by the sea
cleaning and doing chores
and thinking about celebrities that i'd like to fuck

there's blood pouring into the fountain of youth
yet medical science tells me i might live to see 1000 years old

i feel bad about something i said to a friend
about their spending habits
and i found out that a baby was born and another person has died

it's all suddenly interrupted by the sound of a door being thrown off of a balcony and i don't feel sad at that moment, because i feel genuinely terrified

today i will be sad
for about 15 minutes
but that's all
