To [...] and all others concerned -

this is my two week notice of resignation from my position of [...]

at [...]. My last day will be August 7, 2024.

I appreciate the opportunities given to me as part of my work here;

particularly training in duties not previously known to me such as [...]. I am

[23:26] hey [...], this is my two week notice. nothin terribly wrong, just

found higher pay

: pre acid poetry

2024-??-??

I wasn't speaking French

I was speaking sailor

when I said "pardon my French"

I meant the Whaler

of a cuss I uttered

"microwave the bacon

drop a nuke on the station"

I also said "fuck"

get the situation?

I

the birds sing in the air

a fair harmony in treble clef

there are people milling around me

I'm beginning to think there's nothing left

every conversation is the same

man, isn't it good to be alive

I used to feel that way, but it's plain

to me they've been replaced by their eyes

pupils split by a collapsed iris

the back of their eyes gray clouds

iris collapsed by a yet unknown virus

I wear my Ray Bans year round

II

I've never seen someone who saw the same

upon grass so green, under a sky so blue

you'd think I wouldn't be the last to remain

I've shut myself in so my pupil's not two

inside my gray house so alone

an atonement for the sin of still living

I fear my sunglasses have cracked, the only ones I own

because I've been seeing double even in my prison

I

there's an island, far away

people visit on holiday

cats litter the streets and the shopkeeps smile

knowingly, refilling the feed every once in a while

ting-ting bells chime when a favorite appears

collared neck, very well-fed, and often of more years

the other cats shake in the wake of those peers

to whose opinion others listen and act upon what they hear

II

when long ago people called this island home

there was a man with a degree who could not leave life alone

I

recreational tracheotomy

how much will you lose. how fast will you bleed

you stole my hubcaps and my keys

let's see how quick I can amputate your knees

(mods, kill this man) in the forest at night

(is that an AK?) I hope the hunting's alright

(do you have a bandaid?) shoot to kill and kill to eat

(hey, did you hear that?) take the chaf from the wheat

II

faux professional animosity

is it worth the pay? steel and golden teeth?

you stole away my deepest fears

now I don't quite know if anything scares me

(call my lawyer) human complexes

(he might have a gun) simple solutions

(call the police) shoot to kill and kill to eat

(it can't happen to me) eliminate our honesty

you have problems with your self worth

you make five dollars in a dress and fifty in a skirt

but the money's not the issue

it's all those prying eyes cutting into you

cuz when the disco ball sends a beam of light through your skin

and the whole crowd gasps when they see your skeleton

and you look through the ceiling and know you've lost all hope

it's all for capital

television static's been in front of my eyes

every single second of my secondary life

I've been living so nonlinear babe I'm out my fucking mind

when you killed me for a dollar

did you haggle at the offer

or just couldn't then be bothered

to hold onto me any tighter

when you were strangling me tighter

did you want it to be over

or did you relish and feel sober

at the thought of causing torture

fac(n){//low up

i = 1;

while(++i < n)

if(n/i == (int)(n/i))

return [n] + fac(n/i);

return [];//prime

}

fac(n){//high down

i = n;

while (--i > 1)

if (n/i == (int)(n/i))

return [n] + fac(n);

return [];//prime

}

kill like you've never killed before this time

penta plus penta die like it's no crime

die like you've never died before this time

yet another sacrifice

have you ever given so much for so

little a result so subtle, why you don't know

have you ever seen so much hate in the

arms of those you idolize

I spent a year on an alien world

so similar to my own

I met fellow humans

and leaened to call this place home

it too had seasons

red, green, orange leaves

summer and winter

as the weather changed, it changed me

by the time I to go back left

all the friends I'd left were dead

and I keep running down dead ends

you know, you can't go home again

I

CHORUS

I said yes to a taste of Heaven

and was fed from a tube of love

I sank so far down into my skin

oh, what a wonderful drug

V1

"do you have a death wish"

I just came here for the scene

posers digging into me

like I don't get it

programmer by the day

push to mainline in the night

milliliters marked in gray

but we measure by the vibe

II

C

I said yes to a taste of Heaven

my "friends" say I've had enough

I can't party 'til it gets under my skin

God, what a powerful drug

V2

sometimes I feel

like a grenade without my pin

after the rave it's poisoning

my blood and I kneel

bowing down to the pain

in my bed spending the day

my toxic tongue and angered brain

I think next time I'll refrain

III

BRIDGE

oh, but I can't stop

feel it eating me alive

I wake and can't open my eyes

because it burns so much, the light

oh, but I won't stop

veins have swelled out of my arms

face's been shaped by all the harm

I've slept through all my alarms

CHORUS

I said yes to a taste of Heaven

and filled my cup with this horrible draught

I can't stop thinking about getting my next fix

then I'll party 'til I drop

I

when Louie died, he was 29

cried as he put the barrel to his head

for me to arrive and take down the two guys

surrounding him in a farm shed

when Paulie kicked the bucket

and hung from his girl's locket

I was at the market

oblivious to his end

II

me and my skeleton crew

the graves who I visit on holiday

I miss my youthful skeleton crew

and the lads I used to call

my friends

I

taxi driver driving

in a world driven mad

by compulsive consumption

A/B tested in a lab

all these kids on their phones

in the backseat of her cab

they say you ain't done nothing

if you ain't been called a red

Susan's comrades did something

they still worked to death

Susan met a man

in automotive automation

II

- self driving cards

trying to replace public transit

she hated his job

and when she drove he couldn't stand it

now, you might think such a relationship wouldn't last

but why book a cab when you have the Uber app?

now, we've all heard the story

of the dueler, toodle-oo

he'd draw his guns 'fore you could head "one"

and man, he'd toodle you

now, what they might not tell you is

'twass a lass named toodle-dee

who whipped out her pistol

faster'n the toot of a whistle

that brought him misery

now, down at There Saloon where Hugh was the bartender,

in waked Toodle-oo and Hugh said dude don't you dare do

but toodle-oo wanted to toodle you-know-who straight back to sender
