‘Hard To Believe What's On The Inside'


I once felt good when I
Thought of things that I would buy
Now, all materials are nigh
On obsolete in my life

It used to be nice
To see the people that I liked
Now, no company can inspire
Or conspire to raise a smile

Perhaps my allotted supply of inspiration has expired…

Look where I reside
You won't be in two minds
About its lack of impact on the eyes
Around the back and sides
The architecture's uninspired
It's so hard to believe what's on the inside

I used to get high
By doing what I'd decide
Now, there's not much I can find
To stimulate my mind

I would get a glowing light
From chemicals unprescribed
Now, I can't get past the night
And the only effects are ‘side'

Maybe my soul has finally curled up and died...

Look where I reside
You won't be in two minds
About its lack of impact on the eyes
Around the back and sides
The architecture's uninspired
It's so hard to believe what's on the inside

There's nothing in my mind I can find to talk about
There's nothing in my life I can find to think about

I think that now it's time I wrote the final line…
