Hoffa, Hoffa, Where Are You Now?

In the mirror, in the mirror, nothing is different, everything is exaggerated, nothing is the same, everything is different, you look different, you are different, your tattoos make you different, your makeup makes you different, your shoes make you different, your shoes make you different, your shirts are unlike anyone Else's, your shirts are so unique, you bought your shirts from a vintage clothing shop for thirty dollars, the shop bought it for twenty from a different vintage shop, that shop bought it for 88 cents from the army, from the army, this is your salvation, it's here in your different clothes and your different tattoos, this is salvation, here in your ironic jean jacket, salvation, salvation, where are you now?

Surrounded by mothballs, your threads are all gone, now you're just a shell of somebody Else's identity, somebody Else's ironic t shirt, somebody Else's piercing....all of these things are just like the others, all of these things are all the same. Everything just like everything else unlike everything else that's just like anything else but unlike them because we are different from them, we are not the same

The Crest of a New Wave

The songs are the same, the songs are different. The same is not the same even when you weren't there in the first place. When you weren't there in the first place, the first time, the original, when everyone believed, when these things mattered, the feeling was there. Fashion didn't exist (was it there, hiding in the corner?) am I just a part of a trend? Yes. No. Sometimes. Please fill out this questionnaire please, also, answer with your heart and soul(sold?)

I don't want to consider the questions I asked myself while I sang along. I put them in the back of my mind, where I won't think of them again until a couple of hours later. I still believe you, I believe in you, these things mean everything to me. Just funny strange I guess, I'll be along for the ride whereever you go
Irish whiskey loosens my tongue and I would never say these things to you. I'm just insecure and unable to relate to myself right now.
