Here I stand spitting similes like fire
This king of bile fancies himself a master of style
And the girls will swoon but they always do
This game is no fun if you know the rules too well
So I've stopped trying
'Cause soon we'll be dying
Let's drink and not think too much now
What comes down must go up again somehow
And in time we will all succumb to gravity
It's the attraction of things bigger than you
All I am are the letters on these pages
All I am are pixels on your screen
And all I speak is pretentious bathetic
But still you've chosen to listen to me
So I'll keep trying
While the notes are dying
Let's drink and not think too much now
What comes around must go around again somehow
Here I stand spitting similes like fire
Ripping pages from the poets you admire
For nothing beside remains 'round the decay
Of the fleeting, barren, unforgiving
Pointless lives we love to live anyway
