Slow Metabolism

I’m lying on my head.
stomach filled with carbohydrates.
headphones around my neck.
and I wasted most of the day just reflecting.
isn't impressive how some of the most depressing people find happiness so easily?
and you build your foundation on railroad tracks only to find your pride to be the last
cinder block on dilapidated steps.
cuz you can't sugar-coat rejection
and there's no denying what you've known all along
and it saddens me to hear
that you're moving on my dear
and it saddens me to think that you can't lend a helping hand
and don't give a shit about no one but yourself.

We'd like to welcome all our guests. Put them up in a 5 star hotel. We'll have you gamble away your life and make sure you leave with no parting prize- Agreed?
Tell him, tell him, what he's won!
You won a wife and 3 lovely kids. Remember when you left them abandoned. Stranded on a desert island, child support they're still awaiting, while you're having the fun of your life.
What a regret you don't forget the feeling you get with every step- you've turned away from the things that can bring you the greatest fulfillment. And I can say that departing ways can change the way we've been brought up to think. But don't you know there's always people dependent on you?
Tell him, tell him, what he's won!
"But where is my. consolation prize?"

Pressure's building up
I"m about to lose it
I can't hold back
I'm lost in the music
Walking down Communipaw
that's where I fell apart
I forget the way I feel
when I'm in the van away from here
I'm spinning like a record on my stereo
So I step out and go!
I'm missing in action!
Never gonna find me.
Pressure's building up
I"m about to lose it
I can't hold back
I'm lost in the music
Candy-coated razor-blades
the cause of my disdain
I let it go, I know I'm home in
JC, Queens, or these Coney Island streets
