Tonight I'll sit around pushing my shit down the drain using a plunger and a clothespin while I wrangle with the chain. Tonight I'll have potato chips, watch my favorite shows, then watch some infomercials and watch some TV snow. Tonight I'll have nine or ten beers. Tonight I'll talk on the telephone mindlessly until my ear hurts from the feeling from the strain of active nothing. Tonight I'll avoid my hopes and fears.

Tonight I'll play shit loads of video games. Tonight I'll decide too late to go get on the train and play out my stupid misguided version of fun. Tonight I'll get stupid fucking drunk, be an idiot ashamed of what I've done.

Tonight I'll bang out another shitty song that's unsatisfying; it's been so fucking long since it really felt any other way. Tonight I'll crumple up these lyrics and throw them away.

Tonight I'll make promises I know I'll never keep. Tonight I'll talk on the telephone wishing I had the energy to sleep. Tonight I'll sit around and bitch. Tonight I'll get hungry staring at the mustard in my empty fridge.

Maybe tomorrow I won't smoke them cigarettes.
Maybe tomorrow I won't look back on tonight with vomit-soaked regrets.
Maybe tomorrow I won't drown myself in spite.
Maybe tomorrow I could try, and tomorrow will be better than tonight.
Sleep well and dream.
Plastic pillows that give way to some place green.
Sleep well and dream.
