“It’s coming to pass
My countries coming apart
The whole thing’s becoming
Such a bumbling farce
Was that a pivotal historical moment
We just went stumbling past?
Here we are
Dancing in the rumbling dark
So come a little closer
Give me something to grasp
Give me your beautiful, crumbling heart
Another disaster
Catharsis
Another half-discarded mirage
Another mask slips
I face off with the physical
My head’s ringing from the love of the stars
There is too much pretence here
And too much depends on the fragile wages
And extortionate rents here
We’re working every dread day that is given us
Feeling like the person people meet
Really isn’t us
Like we’re going to buckle underneath the trouble
Like any minute now
The struggle’s going to finish us
And then we smile at all our friends”
“Someone told me once
That there’s a right and wrong,
And that punishment
Would come to those
Who dare to cross the line.
But it must not be true
For jerk-offs like you.
Maybe it takes longer to catch a total asshole.
But I’m tired of waiting.
Maybe it’s just bullshit and I should play God,
And shoot you myself.
Because I’m tired of waiting.”
Kobe Bryant
