Competition for a Bad Life

from Worldbuilder by ThornBrain

/

about

When she isn't allowed to hurt, what else is there for her but escapism?

lyrics

Gaping hole in your leg
But to your side
Gaping hole in their head
They nearly died

Everybody's pitched against
Another one
Seeing who can be more
Cruelly overrun

I just want to
Tell my dad
That I didn't plan to stay
A lifetime undergrad

But you need a tragedy
To befall you
Before you're welcomed in
The pain queue

We're not running a competition
For a bad life

The future didn't last long
Did it
My education took its
Precious time

You treat me like a
Special case
To want to flip a switch
To switch my mental space

All I want's a button
For a fantasy
Call a monster my new friend
To die for me

Live in a rock by the lake
Yes, in it
Lick a hovel out of it
Until you fit

We're not running a competition
For a bad life

First step to combating your misery
Go and find the first prick to invalidate it
Second is to give up, go do something else
Do that something until it's replaced your need to process
That's the stage I'm currently at
I stopped looking for a stage three today
'Cause the easiest day of your life is your birth
And the cost of life is inverse to its worth

We're not running a competition
For a bad life

Only crows squawk more than these people
And they're just a hint smarter
And you know what they tell me
Anything that doesn't kill me
Will look good on a resume no one will see
