Hypomaniac
Illness what illness don’t be ridiculous I’ve never felt better in my life oh you know how it is paying my bills after playing good little conscientious warehouse worker same as any other nine to five walking dead trying to stay alive week of the year and Happy New by the way I know it’s been a long time but I’ve had so much on my mind and the nights are cold are dark and I’m feeling old and sore and hurt and I don’t like to come outside after working nine to five trying to stay alive sweating all the time barely enough to keep the roof above and the soul intact and yes yes I know I said I'd be your friend but christ in hell what on earth is this we never signed a contract
Dead on my feet I’ll sit in the window and listen to you go five minutes ten minutes you and your fucking ego burning down the phone burning burning up in smoke all hot air and nowhere left to go I’m sorry what was the question I think there’s someone at the door shit I’ve just spilt coffee on the floor and the cat has something sticking in her paw what sorry I’m so cranky but actually quite frankly I’ve got every good right to be flaming angry you asked me to call you at least have the decency to turn the fucking television off!
