Ugly Truth

Nobody likes the ugly truth
You would do well to cherish your youth
But you don’t feed into that narrative
Preconceived notions firming your brow
Remember the past
Live in the now
An assault rifle in a crowd
I go to make myself a drink
I put myself under the sink
You don’t drink alcohol do you
Playing a famous chord progression
With honest lyrics and passive agression
I shudder in the cold
Human beings are very frail
Neuro receptor hammer and nail
Foreign chemicals, disease and famine
I swerved left into oncoming traffic
And i got scared and it didn’t happen
But by the grace of whatever
I go to fix myself a line
With my grandmother on my mind
In a dive bar in some town i don’t remember
It didn’t even hurt to fall
My son’s picture is still on the wall
Broken hands and dents
