you're my little brother but you're a big bother

rah rah ritual mating
now we're carbon dating
and he said
"this is what you get when you don't get nothing"

i'm looking for directions but they'll only get me lost
they don't know where i want to go
but they think they know anyhow
and i pulled over to the side of the road and thought
"this is what you get when you don't get nothing."

supply met demand at the corner of who gives a shit and solidified cluster fuck
i was lost but it was just where i wanted to be
my compass rose bloomed in the spring
my maternal clock hit the snooze
i gotta have a baby
oh not just any baby will do
but the baby's first words were
"this is what you get when you don't get nothing"

and i laughed aloud
and i seemed so proud
and i made one fucking rhyme after another
and i wondered about my older brother
we shared a womb, a room, not a tomb
and my dying words were
something i can't remember

follow the bouncing ball
and follow the sunset
don't follow the regrets
you'll regress
you'll undress
i'll be watching in the dark
but really
this is what you get when don't get nothing

so compose yourself
get out of the hollowed out room
get out of the hollowed out

and get out 'til you don't know where you are
because that's exactly where you'll need to be
by the time you get there
