Súcubo

I've mastered the absent gaze 

I've mastered the faking while having sex

I've mastered the why should I care

But things I didn't master are certainly a lot harder

Like waking up a quarter to eight

or telling my secrets to somebody real.

Like saying goodbye with a hug,

and crying at a funeral, for real.

Reading ten pages per day,

and drinking less coffee, they say tea will do it

like losing all of my extra weight

and saying i love you, just for the sake of it

but all i can think of is

to keep just on thinking 

about it

cause learning is hard

especially if nobody can teach you

and thinking can bring you down

especially if nobody can relate

i've mastered how to escape,

i've mastered some card games, i'm actually good at them

i've mastered eating whole wheat bread

but things i didn't master are certainly a lot lousier

like cleaning the floor with a mop

and cooking a meal that doesn't look like vomit

like shouting at the top of my lungs

well maybe that's not true, i've definitely done it

but staying up studying all night,

or drinking just one beer and that's that

or playing this fucking violin

or staying alive, just for the sake of it
