Cheese is like vomit without Reggie's touch to ready the palette. Can't write a tune without a speed boost; controlled inspiration.
No sense in seeking slumber, that bong will soon put me to rest. All my love smells like hate. All my heroes are dead, or ought to be. Still, I search for them in swamps... the desert.... halls of mirrors; only catching glimpses of myself. The records all skip to the tune of my own lamentations; every scream, a tormented sob. Dancing just feels like a deathwalk.
