Hopeless Karaoke

from Home Recordings Vol. 1 by Adeem the Artist

lyrics

In the dim light of my cellphone
Explicating eruditeness from hack lines
Half-naked and half-baked
Words can sound so different
but appear to rhyme

I don’t feel so inspired
Only tired of the rage
I guess I’m just a poser
Thought I’d be a little bit closer
To nirvana by my age

But I don’t feel very centered
Only angry and afraid
Lacking all the listless impious iridescence
Of my misspent early days

I want to be behind a tower of PBR’s
Having a good time in some off-broadway bar
And maybe you pick a song for me
Or maybe we don’t sing at all
If I’m going to be hopeless,
I want to be hopelessly singing along

With my ear pressed to a memory
Paper thin walls and secrets
Visiting myself in dreams
Where the themes seem foreboding and sadly cryptic

I don’t know my history
It’s a mystery I reinvent
Out of passing moments
And I know this is normal but I don’t trust myself with it

I’m sluggish and apathetic
Angry and afraid
Trace lines of the last time my hands were energetic
But nothing new was made
