Futures Imperfect
Inspired by and named after novels by Connie Willis
(Verse)
Spinning my wheels on the launchpad
Spitting I dunno and itch,
Caught in a viral don’t want ad
For an unfillable niche.
(Chorus)
Duct tape and caramel latte,
Mindlessly foaming grind,
Looking for someone to lie to
That life is well as designed.
(Verse 2)
Camera, action and - curtain!
Catch and repost and release,
Future imperfect uncertain
But it is all that there is.
(Chorus)
Duct tape and caramel latte,
Mindlessly foaming grind,
Looking for someone to lie to
That life is well as designed.
(Bridge)
Itching and spitting spit and spinning
On this launchpad of my soul,
Maybe this is the beginning
Of an unreachable whole.
(Chorus)
Duct tape and caramel latte,
Mindlessly foaming grind,
Looking for someone to lie to
That life is well as designed.
(Outro)
Spinning my wheels on the launchpad,
Spitting I dunno and itch,
Hoping we’re all just a touch mad,
That this is all just a glitch.

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.

I sang this to my own tune! And now I want a caramel latte hehehe. Loved your poem!
Great lyrics. Very well done .
These lyrics are excellent and a great tribute! The chorus is so amazing but these are my favorite two lines~ "Hoping we’re all just a touch mad, That this is all just a glitch."
I really liked this one! The chorus was especially strong. I can't believe I haven't heard of Connie Willis since a quick google search turned up so many awards but now I have a new writer to check out! Thanks!
