Quiet Australians from WORRIED SICK by Meres

When you’re down in the dumps
And can’t be heard
Wring out all the mud
Like it can’t get worse

What you’ll do is anybody’s guess
And I don’t want to
Be laughing at you
It’s a formal affair

One word sentence to keep
The ego afloat

Here’s a clear example of the way that we are constantly
Drawn into a dire remit

Don’t get jaded
You’re only as good as you believe
And the face you use to regulate
Self-doubt is obsolete

Cause no-one is caring who you are
It’s all about the god complex
Significantly rest assured
They won’t remember your name when you end this

Do what you like
But don’t act strange

When resentment is high are you less likely to blame?
Might seem conceited to walk away
Man, I’ve given my all and it’s nothing

Crippling hatred of a magnitude or less magnetic
Polarising focus on an existential crisis that is
Forming in your head and taking stock of brain cells left and
Deciding what to do with the rest

Well too bad
It’s not like you will have a say in it
Just wait around faking depth
Pretend you’re clean and then quit

Cause nothing here is worth the effort
Hey rise and shine but seek shelter
Fail like you mean it
Like you meant it
Like bristling faces aren’t trying
To monetise this interaction
With the guts and the grit yeah sure I didn’t earn it
Man, I’m only this bad
I’m only this bad cause I’m a byproduct of everything I never had
