Come, commiserate! with me<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I can give you sympathy<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For not a penny nor a dime<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But just a moment of your time<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just every bit of privacy you ever thought you had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Come, be pitiful! with me<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then all our insecurities<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Will be laid bare, and we will share<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The reasons why we do not care<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because we are just heartless husks, more meaningless than sad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Come, soliloquize! with me<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And then the empty room can see<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our tired tales of souls unsung<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That die like flies once off our tongues<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Until we come to realize without them we go mad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Come, dissociate! with me<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We victims of sobriety<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who clutch our lies against our chests<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And wear them out like storied vests<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And hope we may avoid our fate by staying armor-clad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Come, be sentient! with me<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So cursed with sensibility<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re forced to contemplate our lives<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And throw our doubts at friends like knives<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although we know the misery that every thought will add.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Come, recuperate! with me<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our parody of therapy<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is proven to reduce your stress<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It probably will clean your mess<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And definitely, guaranteed, will only hurt a tad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
