Where Do the Good Things Go?

from My Heart Is Pooped by Mike Melton

/

lyrics

Ah no, my lovely people
What if I am stuck
In my dead-end soul?

Ah, no. It's not forever
I'm not a bitter mañ
Lemme show you
Where the good things go

Where do the good things go?

Recently, usually, I've been avoiding, reclusive and lame.
Maybe always in my room
I'm full of sad bugs where I lay

I hate getting up to know
I'm still the person place and thing
I am
Makes me feel weird
And I'm this old
One day the bugs in my brain will eat me away

My list of reasons to hate myself
Is longer than the sum of my years
I'll fill up all the houses in my river of tears

I've always been strange bit crazy
But I don't want to be mean
Stay inside a dead cocoon
Not much interests me

Except music medication
Literary tropes and things
Wasteful compartment world
Shitting endless plastic into the breeze
Fast food convenient filling
For a life so empty and serene

Chaotic preference passing through the land
Party hard, and celebrate
Starvation in the sand
Money's yours
Throw it, flush it, fuck it, kill it, till it fades
Circumstance has made them gods
But helpless dreamers toil everyday

Interesting? But then I'd say
Pain is non-transferable from a distant image
Story someone you don't know
Some countless souls at their most painful limit
Empathize but can't and won't take their body
And go up in it

That one human story is just as frail as our own
Each day a thread of chaos makes it's way
Winding like a snake through all we've known
That nips our tail

Today Tomorrow Too crazy dear
It's all beyond control
I wonder if today I end up
In the endless mortal blow

Myweirdmusic is a thing I've been doing here and there off and on since I was a kid in 6th grade. It's sequenced on old DOS tracker programs and it's mostly derived from samples of sounds I made, older stuff samples films, the radio. One uses SEGA Genesis sounds for the beats. Guitar, kazoo, beat box, whatever I had to do to accomplish the idea.Thanks for supporting my mad scientist orchestrations ... more
