Sneer Nerve

Still rolling on fire

By BrenPublished 9 months ago 1 min read

not sure if it’s a warning

not sure if it’s an endorsement

not sure if it’s subject to

any varying degrees of enforcement

looking like fresh compiled code

feeling like a glitch

ones and zero’s, sods and heroes

felt my sneer nerve twitch

i know it’s not bribery

cause i’m flat arse broke

and i know it’s not in my nature

cause i’m a cunt of a bloke

looking like a pauper

crawled out of a ditch

another million dollar dreamer

another sneer nerve twitch

it’s not my sex appeal

or my winning smile

it’s definitely neither of those poor choices

not by a long country mile

just having a little sook

you know having a little bitch

venom slipped out and over my lips

made my sneer nerve twitch

not sure if i'm awake or dreaming

not sure if i know anymore

not sure if i'm laughing or screaming

it’s all din behind this roar

not sure what is what anymore

not what or which is which

nor can i put my finger on exactly

what makes my sneer nerve twitch
