Kool Aid

from Aries by Dean Batten

/

lyrics

I'm thinking I'll move to Washington, get an apartment in Yakima.
Make plans for a trip out to Senegal, pull a Ginsberg in opium Dakar.
I'll be a wage slave the rest of my life, but I only have to live through the night.
Every night, until it sorts itself out.

Fall in love with a girl over condiments; ketchup and anger, and eloquence.
The Kool Aid I'm drinking will hemorrhage and spill out my guts when I'm done with it.
Because nothing important can come of this, these trite observations of Nothingness.
Love's not enough to entangle this monster of dark in my consciousness.
Yeah

But suicide sounds nice.
I will never get it right.

(But who would you do that to?
Maybe you could do it to you.)
