lyrics

Lifestyle/Entertainment

I love this movie. This is my favorite part
I know I should pay attention to my date but it's dark
avoiding real life, I can always live safely through art
and fall in love with pretty girls without breakin my heart
the mendacity of actually believing I'm in love with the act
and not the character incapable of loving me back
or that my date doesn't wonder if it's something she lacks
that makes me wanna watch the screen and not jump in the sack
a discomforting fact discovering that we'd rather be
watching an imitation instead of our reality
imagine me, consciously, seeking out discomfort or fear
or hoping to be saddened to the point of shedding a tear
nobody wants to feel genuinely frightened or sad
but if the movie doesn't move me then the movie is bad
that's just a matter of fact
what fear working tear jerking movie could be sadder than that?

This almost feels like the real thing. Who am I kidding?
At this point it takes every last ounce of impulse control
to keep me from putting my foot through your Grandmother's t.v.
If I could sink these crooked teeth deep in your arm
I just might. Trust me. I've never felt so impotent and crazy.
Alcohol keps me suitably numb and hazy.
Cringing at the thought of my own desperate acts.
I can rationalize anything.
Any act so profane, hurtful, disrespectful.
Of my shameful wasteful acts, I am not proud.
It hurts to say certain things out loud.
and I'm scared. You know I haven't been sober in over ten years.

<I wish my people'd stop avoidin the truth>
<I deal with the real and never feel the emotion>
