To a Mad Scientist

Four sets, and laboratory
Chem sets, obligatory
Headsets, connecting you to me
Weakness surrounded by the
Sadness of bitter nihilists
Genius is synonymous with madness
But don’t you laugh at my table
My table laughs at me
My table breaks cacophony
I’m capable of everything
When will you teach us all your
Reasons for feeling taller
Tell me, how does it feel to shame everyone?
Mornings are plagued with bags on
Your eyes, the tired nights need
Fireflies to put you back to sleep
But don’t you dare blame meaning
It never hurt your wife
You’re playing with fire and burning ice
You play god and damn him all the time
Fix all the kinks, but you’re fresh out of drinks
Your Bailey-flavoured pain
Passed out on the deck, you’re all incorrect
No stranger to disarray
To a mad scientist
To a mad scientist
To a mad scientist
To a mad scientist
Find another partner in hopes of feeling lost
Is bravery all worth the cost
Of feeling like you’re double-crossed?

It was just an average night
Devin sang his Coldplay right
If I’m lost can you find me?
You make everything so easy
Have I given up my life to you?
Have you catalyzed my regression?
Still it pains me to say I did miss you
Reality is just beyond repression
I feel so lost without you
You’re so capable, I know it’s true
When I woke you were no longer beside me
You’re so capable without me
I know I will never meet them
Still they’re in my REM
Vicarious comfort zone
How could you leave me all alone?
I am not alone in this world
I face everyday like a privileged girl
To the world you might mean nothing
But to someone you may mean the world
I felt so lost without you
You’re so capable, I know it’s true
When I woke you were no longer beside me
You’re so capable without me
And I’m whining
Self deprecation is the short way to an artist’s heart

Bad Egg

( Rick and Morty/Dog World theme song, used as a quote, originally composed by Ryan Elder and Justin Roiland, published under BMG Rights Management (US) LLC, and used under mechanical license )
Cut it, shred it, think it, I’m on fire
Feed it, lead it, need a force for hire
Find life in high, and I’ll fly to the sky
My life a lie, gotta find heaven’s eye
Make a mark, I keep my heart in a drawer
I can’t take this ego trip anymore
Alright, you win, I’ll face end and begin
5 after 10, and where have you been?
Where have you been?
They never understood me, I will lock my heart away
Then seal the door and take all the money that they can pay
And we’re free, I’m free
“Bad egg” they called me, let’s see how they greet me at the door
They take all they can get but they won’t get me anymore
And I’m free, so free
Mark it, make it, take it, two halves were cropped
He stared at me so long, my heartbeat stopped
I’ll do just fine, I’ll be there in the sky
My truth so high, but it shines like a lie
Like a lie
They never understood me, I will lock my heart away
Then seal the door and take all the money that they can pay
And we’re free, I’m free
“Bad egg” they called me, let’s see how they greet me at the door
They take all they can get but they won’t get me anymore
And I’m free, so free
They never understood me, I will lock my heart away
Then seal the door and take all the money that they can pay
And we’re free, I’m free
“Bad egg” they called me, let’s see how they greet me at the door
They take all they can get but they won’t get me anymore
And I’m free, so free

Me and My

Pardon me, I will not be pardoned
Lord Almighty, my heart has hardened
Versions of me depart the departed
Oh
Forced to create that which I don’t
Underestimate, he’ll talk back, he won’t
I was just too late, now everything’s my fault
Oh
But he’ll run that race again
Danger’s our new best friend
Now I’m alone, me and debauchery
Now I’m alone, him and his Scotch and me
Now I’m alone, with my debauchery
Take another, I’ll force down my art
He is your brother in need of a heart
Count them together, add them to the death chart
Oh
But we’ll run that race again
Danger’s our new best friend
Now I’m alone, me and debauchery
Now I’m alone, him and his Scotch and me
Now I’m alone, with my debauchery
Another world has the joined the story, he says “don’t you dare”
He takes my pen from my hand, says “no one else can compare”
He’s closing the walls on me, my story can just stand and stare
I know it isn’t going anywhere, oh
I know it isn’t going anywhere, oh
I know it isn’t going anywhere
Now I’m alone, me and debauchery
Now I’m alone, him and his Scotch and me
Now I’m alone, with my debauchery
Debauchery
Be my translucent guide through the stars
Blow my transparent mind
Break the doors that block me to your brain
I’m not sure I’ll like what I find
It’s an addiction, you’re my addiction, it’s an addiction
