The Kids Are Sick Again

The comforting ache

Of the summer holidays

Pointless days pining

Afternoons whining

The suburbs scream

At passers by

They scream of escape

Muted sirens

In wasted light

Hope takes flight

I dont mind losing self-respect

Ive done it before and Ill do it again

Im stifled tonight, which is fine

Ive done it before and Ill do it again

Billboards evanesce

Under regular beams of light

Toothpaste smiles

Dont seem so bright

Homogenize!

Dont revise!

I dont mind losing self-respect.

Ive done it before and Ill do it again.

Im thwarted tonight, which is fine

You see Ive done it before and Ill do it again

THE KIDS ARE SICK AGAIN

Nothing to look forward to

They jumped the cliff again

Future sinks beneath the blue
