Advice to Anyone Willing to Listen

you're ashamed of yourself, so you cake yourself in make up
he puts his brain on the shelf, because with it, his thoughts take so much space up
quit tripping, somebody must have forgotten to make you lace up
wake up
do something
stop doing all the same stuff
get out
go live
your life is leaking out a sieve 
you're already gonna die, there is no if
no ands, no buts
so go nuts
sniff stuff that makes you feel tough
invincible
life is unpredictable
but so monotonous and vicious to you
