iii. life: the biggest troll
(andrew auernheimer)
(cont.)
we are the dreams of our parents lost in the future
who hide the deepest desires and wear a mask like a luchadoor open, we were smoking in the hotel
the vapors went through the hallway, the manager pissed as hell
i mean where’s the line between donnie g and gambino?
he hang with girls like he lena, but needed some time to re-up
tequila in the cantina, 30 dollars i swallowed
the sauza so malo then she said “you need to grow up
you been doing this for too long
that camp was a million years ago, sing me a different song”
whether you’re trolling or controlling, just a reminder
you think you get it, you don’t, it’s that andrew auernheimer
i’m gone... now I’m back
give a fuck or give ‘em hell, just not a chance to react
tyler durden this burden, hurting, they said there was curtains
certain demise, look in his eyes, the pain inadvertent
i could’ve stayed where i was and have a life you’d be proud of
but i’d rather chase things never thought of
it was all love, saying “go hard”
making dope, it’s a trap, ackbar backfired
panic dreams, so it seems we’re meant to die
i had to figure it out; “it’s the best,” no, that’s a lie
had to get some stuff off my chest, i vaporized
high on my own, it took time to realize
because the Internet, mistakes are forever
but if we fuck up on this journey, at least we’re together
man, i wish i could go back and tell that kid it’s make-believe
make ‘em believe in themselves, people who needed my help
feelings i felt, keeling myself
no one’s ever been this lost
i just get the information retweet it or say it sucks
i just got the motivation, your talent’s just a bunch of luck
hard work and dedication, but lately it’s run amok
waking up in these places i don’t remember
texts from people i never met, doors left open
i don’t know who i am anymore
