Sonic personification
Unlisted Track by Jawbreaker
=========
You can’s sell me incense. My world smells good enough to eat.
So let’s not eat, just smell the good and longing — not owning.
We’ll circle like insects, incensing the grieve liquored herd.
Have you heard an encouraging word from them?
They pretend to be so above it all…
…or so they would have you think.
I think no one thinks at all.
You might show some interest. Your world looks good enough to eat.
I see the ghost of a better world living in your disbelief in ghosts.
Now everyone tells me they’re crazy.
Crazy people aren’t so fuckin’ boring.
Wake me when you’re through bein’ cool, ’cause I’m snorin…
…and hopin’ to see you beside yourself.
Show me the rose stuff of you.
Would you do it for yourself?
Or for me? We both need a change.
Your fear of normalcy is hardly strange.
Let’s be freaks, plain-clothes police.
Let’s be deliberate because it’s obvious to me.
Deliberately weird is pretty obvious.
So color me obvious.
I just want to be happy half the time…
…and blue only when I have the time.
