1.
Stop the charade. You’re not fooling anyone. Imitating others and trying to be your own version of them. Since when did you need the eyes of others to see yourself? Sure, find influence from your peers, but only you can be you. Step out of the shadows and become yourself. We are all anxiously waiting to meet the real you.
2.
What Voice? 00:30
So, you can talk…big fucking deal. Do you even know what you’re saying? You think it’s enough to express yourself and “voice” the emotions you feel. Learn what the fuck are talking about first, and then get back to me. Moving your jaw and spewing out whatever randomly comes to mind is not impressive—gathering knowledge and explaining your earned viewpoint is.
3.
Rust is lighter than steel. Strap in and fucking send it. Burn that rubber and sore on those jumps. Take that rust bucket to new heights. Once a car, now a rust rocket on wheels.
4.
To Be Alive 00:33
Simply being “alive” is not my life goal. I want to truly “live.” I do this by embracing new challenges and doing my best to pursue the things I enjoy and surrounding myself with those that I love. The rat race keeps you in line and on life support. However, only you can allow yourself to truly feel like you are living, not just breathing.
5.
Every time we meet, you unload your problems on me. I try my best to be helpful, but I also can’t inherit your burden. You’ve created this mountain of chaos and bullshit. Now you need to clean it up. I’ll provide you the shovel, but you need to dig.
6.
Born to kill, or born to chill? Either way, TB has your fade. Terp Boys all day n’ night.
7.
Murray Bikes 00:51
8.
Murk Us Both 00:41
Did we both just literally buzkill the entire room? Our selfish petty interaction over some bullshit turned into everyone else's problem. Fuck you. Fuck me. Murk us both.
9.
Fear can be a good thing. It forces you to pause and asses the situation. However, it can also eat at your well being and rip your ambitions apart if you allow it to control you. Pause, breathe, and react. You know what to do.
10.
Sometimes you say more without speaking. Not every situation requires you to talk—especially when you talk out of your ass. Bad breath from your mouth is bad enough. I don’t need to smell it from your butthole.
11.
Gossip Brew 00:43
I thought alcohol was meant to be fun and take the edge off. I was hoping to hug, laugh and create fond memories like we intended to do so. But all you have done since the first sip of beer is talk shit about others behind their backs. This has just been one big ass boo boo fest and I don’t want to be part of this buzzkill. Instead of breaking a cold one, you just broke our friendship. I drink alcohol, not gossip brew.
12.
Hardcore dancing looks like a fucking seizure.
13.
Crowd killing is for dweebs.
14.
Two-step yourself off a fucking cliff. I wanna see you mosh and circle pit. All “go” NO “bro.”
15.
One Sided 00:35
Glad you feel that I was there for you and helped make your life better. Wish I could say the same for you. Time for me to move on. Hurting myself in order to help you is counterproductive. It’s not that I don’t care about you. It’s that I value my own life and you are ruining it.
16.
Take Action 00:42
Just another couch potato wondering where the time went. The same resolutions year after year. The project didn’t get away from you. You ignored it. Why don’t you spend more time with the tool box and less time with the Xbox. Become the responsible human you desire to be instead of a worthless bag of meat.
17.
So many are at war with each other to see who can obliterate themselves first. Not sleeping in the gutter because it’s your only option. You are doing it so you can talk about it. Showing off your shitty “tough life” as if it will be a worthy story to read about one day. You will only be remembered as a self-destructive narcissist. Roll in your own filth. Goodbye. You died.
