Bored - The Summer Obsession

Hanging over a few lines

But, still I’m bored

Swallow pills and chase them down

And drink till I’m sore

Read a book to stay awake

But all the pages leave me wait for something great

My real friends say I’m waiting for what started long ago

And life is what you make of it

So come on now, let’s go

But still I’m bored lately,

Do you feel the same?

Being alive drives me crazy and this world’s insane

I go to a party

With an army of mindless fucks

No one’s doing anything

No one’s interesting, so what?

I go back home and write a poem

But all the words seem dumb

And I feel numb

Come on be straight

Do you really expect me to believe what I can’t see?

Come on be straight

Do you really think this was,

Really think this was mean to be?

Come on be straight
