Friends Inside The Screen

A cigarette still burning

Whiskey with melted ice

An empty sheet of pills

Consciousness cuts out

Reset

Wake up

Gotta say hello

Friends are inside the screen

Not a lie

Loneliness is gone

A hundred friends

Everyone's nice

It's okay to talk to them

No face needed

No voice needed

Just words

Add

Accept

Consume

Forget

Someone's there

Keep looking

Keep chasing

Where'd you come from

Where are you going

Don't know who you are

Praise them in public

Blame them behind their back

Just one word

A little off

And a friendship ends forever

Write a message to the screen

No reply

A line gets drawn

A friend disappears

Used to it

Change the name

Press the switch

Sit and wait

Then

Everything goes as planned

Agree to the agreement

They say give it a name

Just to add

A few more perfect friends

Just a contract

Just follow

The algorithm

So there won't be an error

Just a little

Friends are inside the screen

Not a lie

Say hello

“How are you?”

“Thanks”

Just get along with friends

Just the usual lines

Just repeat all of it

Just stay in the usual place

The only one not there

Is yourself

Falling again

Again

Getting smaller

No reason

No stress

No cause

Go shopping

Make eye contact with a cat

Looks like it knows something

Makes no sense

Throw ice cream

In the shopping basket

Throw cigarettes in too

There's a desert on the way home

Sit on the ground

Eat the ice cream

Eat a cigarette

That's impossible

Light it

Try smoking it

The cat walks past

Forget something

Think

Too sleepy

Hear a camel

The ice cream melts

Get out of bed

But

Whatever

Don't even feel like cooking

Ice cream is enough

That's enough

There's no guarantee

Family will stay alive

Having good taste

Doesn't always come naturally

Know everything

Maybe tell someone

But

Better not

Remember when

Other people's words made no sense

Can't focus

Can't pay attention

Kept hearing it

Try harder

Don't mess up

Hard work pays off

Know everything

Good taste matters

Maybe teach someone

But

Better not

Back then

Other people's words

Made no sense

Reset

Quit

Tired

Fed up

Too much trouble

Work

Love

Life

Forget it all

Still remember

Making eye contact with that cat

What did it notice?

Cowardly feelings?

Something wrong in the head?

Broken love?

Lose everything

Then notice it again

Want to rewind

Just one more time

Same time

Same smile

Same mistake

The mind is worn out

Still

Make the same mistake again

This time is different

New friends

New lover

New address

Only the first two weeks

Feel fun

Same thoughts

Same feelings

Without noticing

Keep doing the same thing again

Exactly the same mistake

Try sleeping under the bed

Same ceiling

Same smell

Funny

Get back on the bed

Can't sleep

Whatever

But

Work

Ridiculous

But

Money

Life

Living

Ridiculous

Already know

What to do after making a mistake

A cigarette still burning

Whiskey with melted ice

An empty sheet of pills

Consciousness cuts out

Don't know what comes after that

Reset

Listen to music

Eat ice cream

Smoke a cigarette

Huh?……

Remember

What did that cat notice?
