Words:

Serial spirit killer
Cellars and cellars of frozen hearts
in the chiller
that didn't check all his boxes
Endless time doesn't bother foxes
Just wasted

again. He's wasted;
doing the tantrum thing
Stomps around
until he gets the easy thing
Always passing on the winning ticket
when they start to tell him where to stick it
Passing for the short cut!

And wonders why he's only
a background extra
who barely makes the cut
Mommie's pick of the litter
turns out
a serial fence sitter
Always waiting for something better,
someone wetter, someone falling harder
at his clown feet!

Ain't it funny
but it's not a comedy
when the juggler meets the editor:
A bitch that just deletes
and starts over!
Says NO THANKS to his boring
merry-go-round;
The fair that's never fair

You can't dissolve me down
as cotton candy
in your hand, it's always raining,
or are you crying
'cause you're a generic brand?!
NO THANKS,

I want a director;
Confidence and I'll hear
through the megaphone
OH BABY+++MY PLEASURE

Cut!
