From The Vault Vol 2

 They always tell the homeless to "get a job"
Like it that's easy.
There's a problem with our television sets.
Protraying problems in a 30 minute time slot.
With a warm resolution in a season ender.
In reality wounds take time to heal.
And the answer isn't always there no matter how hard we look.
I see the scramble.
The inevitable crumbling of a solid foundation.
And advice tends to fall on deaf ears.
Because the truth hurts.
But cmon now, you didn't expect it all to be that easy?
Total liberation's gotta come with a few scars.
A few cuts and scratches to show the kids
Reminiscing around a fire...we were all once youth.
Adulthood brought some kicking and struggling into its depth.
Others soared expectantly into an unknown void.
Eitherway it was nothing like we thought.

Hows your resume looking?
Up to date?
Are all your references relevant to who you are?
And how about that layout..
Are you a piece of eye candy?
Or just "one of the crowd"
Funny how this whole thing works isn't it?
I laugh more during the commercials.
Little jingles stuck in my head.
She cleared her face and now the world is her pasture for the picking.
He got a close shave and a beautiful broad to match.
And if this song gives you a headache we always got tylenol super strength.
We'll let you fly high without the stigma of track marks and chronic smoke.

"There was a problem during the interview process devon"
We don't like your long hair, battered skateboard and dirty shoes.
And those blue eyes...
"Frankly devon I'm personally attracted to you"
But here at our company we don't need dreamers.
We need a company of hard workers.
Thick headed number crunchers inpartial to overtime.
"We also would rather avoid relationships amongst our co-workers"
And with that she leaned over the table.
"And I don't think I could help myself devon"
Neither could I.
Off hours she liked to throw paint at a wall.
Roll and dance in her own creative destruction.
"Lets go somewhere magical"
Outside the buildings look like jagged teeth on a pitbull.
Ready to swallow us all up.

-Dev
