This Whole Living Thing

(2005)
Jared Woods

Destroy yourself with words of wisdom
Ignore the right to make decisions
Drink and drink and drink and drink
Until your mind turns into liquid
Listen to Cohen's greatest hits
Envision a rock rich with shit
And if you remember how to laugh
At least pretend you're having a good time
Invent devices designed to kill
Prevent a crisis and sign a will
Then muster up all your reserves
And incoherently worship your life and what it was
Excuse my rambles of introspection
But don't refuse to see there's problems
At what point does it become obvious
That some of us just can't do this whole living thing
