Modern living, it drives me up the wall
Modern living, I'm thinking criminal
I'm not incentivized
I'm not gonna sacrifice
Just to be in the red
And forgotten when I'm dead
From a mid-40s suicide
Time to pay up
For the fuck up
It ain't on you but they pass the buck
Modern living, it's got me feelin drained
Modern living, could really use some brain
I live for the present
The future is despondent
If only those kooks
In the hazmat suits
Weren't goddamn prophets
Time to pay up
For the fuck up
It ain't on you but they pass the buck
I'm gonna give up while the going is good
As anybody sensible would
Don't shoot the messenger--don't get mad
You were born into the time where the going gets bad!

You got out just in time
I'm already past my prime
We had a hell of a run
Ride into the setting sun
Who needs bliss anymore
Just need a corset of thorns
A tourniquet of roses
If only it could bleed me out
Even the smells still linger on my nose
Even for an instant some memory makes it go
And I'm right back there
The sights and smells and sounds
And I'm right back there
Who needs bliss anymore
Just need a corset of thorns
A tourniquet of roses
If only it could bleed me out

Unrequited
Only after you were done
No surprises
Don't expect me to wait around

Drinking water
I watched the ocean
I was standing
I have drowned

Want for nothing
Take for granted
Who wouldn't take you?
My eye confection
My lips glazed
Belly-up saddle thigh

I'm inside from outside
I'm seeing red, baby
I'm seeing valentines

A siren speaks of me in obliques without saying my name. So bold of you, so insolent, two can play at that game. I've been on the inside, you're not as clever as you think. Floodwaters, hurricanes, will I swim or sink? All that's left of you is a lingering bitterness. All that's left of me is a spiraling mess. I'm less than half the man I was before I met you. If you do the math you'll know, that's pretty low. I've got a notebook filled with a long list of clichés. Countless before me have said what I wanna say. I didn't expect myself to ever write a breakup song. But I've been burned so bad, it went into my notepad before long. All that's left of me is a vindictive idiot. All that's left of you is your entire life. I'm less than half the man I was before I met you. I can't seem to let you go, I've gone so low

Zhir Vengersky San Diego, California
Zhir Vengersky is the latest devolution of a long, proud family lineage of brain-eating apes which eventually settled in the Southern California region. In his formative years he was exposed to the music of art nerds before him. The effects were immediate and obvious. Zhir creates music for people who live in places that don't exist. ... more
