never give up completely

One way or another we will end up taking care of every individual person on the planet.

I just hope we choose the route where we figure that out simply because it's the right thing to do and not because the population has been reduced to such a scale that you can't help but care.

quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

try and try and try again

go back to the beginning to figure out the end

a close enough guess

would rather do this

than go out of my head

out of food

out of options

hope ebbs

there's nowhere I'd rather be

am I somehow - wrong - for that?

I'm supposed to want to run away

why would you want to stay

with what they've told you is at stake

unless you don't believe them

or you think you can help them change

no one wants to change for you

remember

so you must just not think it's true

not the whole story anyway

never is

and the good parts

are worth staying for

hell

it's the only good

I've ever known

will no one ever understand that?

Three Aye Em Four Twenty Twenty Twenty One

Nothing is gonna make you feel better

about everything that's happened.

Nothing's gonna make you feel better

about the way things are.

Yeah, I can see that.

So you gotta do something else.

There might've been a time

few years ago

when 4/20 would have mattered differently

but I use RSO as medicine

when I can afford it

and trying so hard to feel legitimate

really takes the fun out

for me

Seems a lot of social issues

don't have one perfect answer

and we're being forced

to make a choice

out of fear

just to fulfill agendas

My cat has got to be 

the softest sweetest creature

on earth -

that is all.
