I don’t like sitting still,
Correction: I don’t like the stigma.
“What did you do last night?”
“Nothing” -- “Oh”
So I do a whole lot of it.
I turn on the TV and put on something
-- “I’m not watching it anyways”
While I open my computer
--”Gotta get some work done”
As I check my phone for the fifth time in 3 minutes.
--”Just in case, you know”
Boiled down to a core without the fluff,
Without the excuses, extra lean fat free
Pile of nothing just surrounded by glowing screens.
“I’m busy” -- I wish I was busy...
“I’m bored” -- My mind’s crashed from over stimulation...
I found that my drive to surround myself with nothing,
Was based out of fear of being nothing.
But for a night, I can surround myself with images
And overdose myself with 100% American made synthetic lives,
Eating up a whole lot of nothing.
