Familiar Things

from Egotoxin by Boss Moxi

Moxi Fanspace exclusive

about

The trauma characters share, all of it has familiarity. As a woman runs far from her fears, from her work and everything she's built, she slips into madness. A face from that faithful night following her everywhere she goes.

In another time a young boy also runs from his past. A failed attempt to fit in with pathetic crowds around him leads him astray, outside in the rain, trying to make out what lies lifeless in the gravel. What seems very dead is just home for something very much alive. His life is forever changed, once again...

lyrics

Is this right?

Am I there?

Why does it?

Being mind over feet,
Pile over heap,
Come up in conversation,
Never miss a beat,
Did I try?
Was it hard?
Did I say something I shouldn’t have?
Timing or practice?
Little or large?
Did Margerie fuck Alice?
Have there trees in the yard?
Am I too damn outspoken?
Is it my time to dance?
Should I have talked to the teacher?
The martyr,
The priest,
The liar,
The psycho,
The virgin,
The beast.
Oh the viol,
The mighty,
The cunts and the chiefs,
Am I borderline crazy,
Should I lift up the sheets?
Look under my bed?
Look after my head?
THEY’RE STILL
Looking at me what do I say???

Then ya slowly realise,
It’s a familiar thing!
Being no one!
Being nothing!
And ya slowly realise,
It’s a familiar thing!
Being no one!
Being nothing!

Ah, Oh, Eh, Oh

It’s your mother calling,
Have you washed all ya sheets?
Are you ready for tomorrow?
Would you like something to eat?
You’re as calice as anything,
Audacious as teeth!
Everybody’s laughing as they’re singin’ in the rain.
It’s not easy at all,
Have I hit six foot tall?
Did I make up the answers,
Is that cum on the wall?
Have I broken the T.V?
Cleaned up the mess?
Did I speak when not spoken to?
Look up her dress?
Am I losing my bet?
Am I winning the race?
Can I grab him by the head and kick im’ in his fucking face?
Am I really unimportant?
going fucking mad?
Just tell me what they’re selling me!
The tea is cold and weak,
THEY’RE STILL
Looking at me what do I say???

Then ya slowly realise,
It’s a familiar thing!
Being no one!
Being nothing!
And ya slowly realise,
It’s a familiar thing!
Being no one!
Being nothing!
Then ya slowly realise,
It’s a familiar thing!
Being no one!
Being nothing!

And ya no-one,
And ya nothing. x3

And ya nothing,
And ya no-one. x3
No-one cares
NO ONE CARES!

No cares about the all stars!
Or Betty and the priest!
Cause ya nothing,
And ya no-one.
If ya tried to rewind,
You’d be wasting your time,
Cause ya nothing,
And ya no-one.
And ya tried, might’ve lied, probably cried.
What does it mean?
Well ya nothing,
And ya no-one!
BUT you’re the only clever one,
The same human as anyone,
ya nothing,
And ya no-one!

Oh how does it feel?
Oh does it feel?
How does feel?
Being small!
How does it feel?
Now.
