Empathetic Oblivion

from Songs From An Apartment by Psychiatric Metaphors

lyrics

Somewhere down near Memphis I lost another friend
Misconception is a poor man's breakfast in the end
Too many men decide there's just no other way
Time is just another word for "I don't know what to say"

Doing business down in Texas
I just couldn't stay away
Distinguished men drink again just wasting another day
A landmine of selfish minds
This time I'd crossed the line
The contempt for misconception
It'll get you every time
It'll get you every time, yeah

Somewhere in Savannah Jail I'd spend the next few days
Left alone, atonement lost, I hadn't found the pay
Cast from my shadow, I had no place to stay
Lost in battle, with who?
I don't think I could even say

Symbolism don't mean shit
If you can't say what it means
Metaphoric child care for the undeveloped brain
Human interaction, interrupting static dreams
"Can you hear me?" "What?" he said, "I can't see my TV screen"

Petty poet with no cause
"Can he really set a scene?"
Forced portrait with a stolen cat
"Did you even get his name?"
Last night I cried in a dream
Does that count as feeling pain?
There's a girl coordinating colors and I hope she knows my name
and I hope she knows my name
and I hope she knows my name
and I hope she knows my name
