Guess I'm getting old, man: f*ck that sucks Bo Burnham got a grammy nom, but here I am stuck Not inside, per se, but been held in a way Can't escape the place behind the face: a case of bad luck But perspectively, objectively: things are pretty good The f*ck I need a mansion for? No Hills of Hollywood Calling my name: that shit got nothing for me LA's kinda boring Or maybe I'm scared it would absorb me The last ten years feel like the only ones I've lived Been going through old memories like stories that're told to kids Before the medication I'm taking made me complacent With hindsight 2020 + 1: there's still pain in it But even with this decade of life, what have I made of me? Forty blocks south down an isle of concrete Dreaming's not the issue: I just couldn't commit My obit'll be a list of shit I wouldn't make fit I'm on the eve of 30 I've been scrolling 40 minutes Seeing 50 fucking kids, making 60 what I did And it's feeling like 20 was my chance be a 10 But as I'm lookin at the mirror I'm a zero instead I'm on the eve of 30 I've been scrolling 40 minutes Seeing 50 fucking kids, making 60 what I did And it's feeling like 20 was my chance be a 10 But as I'm lookin at the mirror I'm a zero instead F*ck But I guess that's today A third of kids when questioned want influence this way YouTuber, TikToker, or whatever's comin next And how could they not want to preach? #blessed It's the best... yes? Well, for most, a bit less Just a fraction making money, smaller fraction making rent All the rest are out here drowning in an ocean of content Dragged under, screams full of thoughts they were god-sent Younger generations taught to want to make a difference Pull some meaning from a world that regards em with disinterest Getting harder every year: the population just keeps growing Water rising, species dying: no signs our climate's slowin Is it hopeless? I gotta know this I need a way to show my future self there's something to roll with Or else what's the point that I wrote this and spoke this? Gotta hold on to something in this void I'm enrobed in I'm at the edge of 30 I've been crying 40 minutes Over 50 guys just like me flexing 60 what I've got Had I thought to start by 20 maybe coulda been at 10 But I didn't get out of a bed, so I'm a zero instead I'm at the edge of 30 I've been crying 40 minutes Over 50 guys just like me flexing 60 what I've got Had I thought to start by 20 maybe coulda been at 10 But I didn't get out of a bed, so I'm a zero instead Ugh Well, age is just a number right That bullshit motivation or justification for a crime Inspiring with impact font, black borders, and a cat pic Convinced the younger dumber me that somehow I had this But the decades culminate; cynicism cuts through Idealism begets realism It's pessimism but new Jaded glasses looking forward, with no roses looking back The longer that I keep going, the more it feels like a track (I'm trapped) 24: I had my crisis saw diverging paths before me Emergent options spanned horizons, but the fact is I chose boring Early mornings with a bedtime... I'm still 30 years sober Friendships withering on vines, and no one cares when it's over Rollercoaster's getting slower; I can get off anytime Just clock the nine to five with f*ck all else inside my mind But I won't live way; truly, anything's better So bring me in, cut me up: I can bleed out in letters
