A Bleak Scenario – Pessimism

Single White Male, 45 – Jacob Levin

Dysthymic Disorder. Highly Educated. Successfully employed. Both parents deceased. Never been married. Socially withdrawn. Overweight. Extreme pessimism. Borderline narcissist. Short-tempered. Arrested after escalating an argument with neighbor. Threw one of the neighbor’s many hubcaps at him and sliced his head pretty good. Court-Ordered Anger Management Sessions (10).

lyrics

(:34) Wrong place, wrong time, always out to get you
That wrench in the spokes of life
No end to the pain and strife
Until we bid adieu…

(1:01) Sometimes it’s going to hurt while facing reality
Practice for meeting eternity
Let me help you confront your irrational fear of mortality
Until you bid adieu!

(1:47) It’s stupid to focus on what we can’t control

(2:02) Take this matter in my hand
Cut you down where you may stand
Slice you deep behind the shed
Trash I use to take your head

(2:43) A break in the monotony
With the spice of variety
Seasoned with violence
And the gift of your silence

(3:10) I’m going home, and I won’t pretend that I’m not content
It’s a long and winding road down here. To my detriment, I cannot quit.

(3:48) It’s so gruesome! What a scene and sight to behold!
Who could do this to him? How did this all unfold?

(4:16) At a loss for words

(4:24) Gather all the evidence you can. No one leaves until we find this man!
Got a feeling that he is close by. He’s lucky that he’s alive!

(4:52) Piece of shit neighbor!

(5:00) Look around. It’s everywhere! There’s garbage on the ground.
Have your guys canvas this place, let’s see what can be found.
Here he is. Right there in front of our face, now let’s take him down!
