Selfstarter A.E. - Jhariah, Telethon

Glad to tell you that your mission statement put a high price on your head.

I gotta tell you when you pitched the pitch, it made me glad that I wasn’t

dead

So, guns-a-blazing, inching quickly forward to a place that I haven’t been.

I knee a dent into the washing machine and put my broken AirPods in

When the only way to go is the one that you don’t know

It puts the automatic earth into the foreground

Half a year to try a service that lets me cut right to the front of the line

And they get long ‘cause of the government workers guarding all of the nice

citizen’s lives.

I watched a film where it was no big deal from around 1965.

There were no seatbelts, you could smoke on board, and the crew was all drunk

by the peak of the climb

Outer space still up above, all the ants straight down below, and still the

automatic earth is in the foreground

I can’t help but slip into the background now

I never thought that it would be like this

I never thought that it would bend, I swear I didn’t, but it did

I never thought that it would end like this

I never thought that it would end

I swear I didn’t, but it did, but it did, but it did, but it did

Now I’m picking out the pieces of my life I swear got harder and I’m swearing

by the book in early March I’d gone self-starter

We’re afraid the breaks are these: Mistook the forest for the trees.

You built no gutter on your eaves and now the mold has grown appendages and

just asked if it can leave.

So…

No regrets.

It’s all too perfect

No regrets.

We’re only perfect

No regrets.

You’re doing perfect

No regrets
