Cat Guy

If baby Hitler and your family dog

Were both found drowning in a lake

And you could only rescue one

Because

Well, that's never really been explained

Which pitiful creature would you condemn?

Which of God's children would you save?

And only when you've staggered back to shore

Will you be apprized of your unforgivable mistake!

There's someone in the future

Wishing upon a future star

That they could travel back in time to precisely where you are

Sitting here bored completely senseless

Wishing you were somewhere else

Some phony brighter future or nostalgic story that we tell

I'm searching for the

Patterns in the noise

I'm pareidolic, I'm seeing faces in the void

And in the void behind this face

The fragments falling into place

The lifeless children lined up on the sheet interrupt the reverie

Suddenly it all seems very clear

Like I'm in a frontier-town tableau

"Abandon hope all ye who enter here"

Time to come to terms with mankind's default mode

All grand pronouncements

Rendered patently absurd

By just the gentle prodding

Of a bemused universe

So tell me which pitiful creature would you condemn?

Which of God's children would you save?

As for me, I never learned to swim

Always been a cat guy anyways
