Short in the Sleeve - Today

Dragging my feet, eyes half open
I curse my coffee while I'm drinking the news
Another day, same old stories
Whatever outrage you'd like to choose
Who's being dubbed the latest Hitler
A patriot, or a communist
Twitter wars, summer fashion
Paranoia in a five-point list

Don't try to diagnose me
I know I'm thinking straight
Just give me what matters
And the rest of it can wait
Don't misunderstand me
I'm not walking away
I haven't quit caring
But I don't give a damn today

I can recite every mantra
Like there's thunder rumbling in my chest
But if I want to stay in good graces
I'll keep my questions close to the vest
Perfect a pose, post a picture
Be the brand I'm trying to sell
Climbing the ranks at the office
Laying tile in my private hell

Don't try to diagnose me
I know I'm thinking straight
Just give me what matters
And the rest of it can wait
Don't misunderstand me
I'm not walking away
I haven't quit caring
But I don't give a damn today

Dragging my feet, eyes half open
I drink my coffee while I'm cursing the news
I could contend in the comment sections
But I'm not up for the self-abuse
