lyrics

i know my art is dark & thought-provoking & maybe even scary to certain audiences, & maybe people are thinking, is he okay? is he gonna do himself in tonight? im a little worried; or maybe people are thinking, what an asshole! he just wants to complain, hes only seeking attention, is all———all for a few more LIKEs. but the truth of the matter is, i like this kind of art. when i see art of a darker variety, i feel stimulated, i feel joyful & alive, i feel like im on top of the whole FUCKING world, & i dont know why that is. i like things that bite i guess, for ive always surrounded myself with a more dangerous kind of person, even though to me the average joe was rearing to bite my head off, the prom kings & queens lurking around the corner brandishing switchblades & clubs just waiting for me to come rounding the bend, & you all know what would happen to me then, right? yeah, MY people wear spikes & leather, but YOUR people wear uggs & denim with plastic smiles & phony lives that seem so pathetic but still scare me senseless. you see, i stopped checking out plastic-looking girls one day on the train as i admired these 2 hot preppy-looking girls standing by the door, & then the thought popped in my head: Like fucking a dried-out blow-up doll, your dick chafing the plastic twat in between her legs—painful and gross, right? well, that did it for me; those girls no longer seemed hot anymore & the kind of girls that did intrigue me had piercing scowls carved across their faces, sporting short, spikey hair, with leather jackets dashed & tainted with loads of paint & spikes & studs sticking thru the vacant spaces. thats my kind of girl, this is my kind of art. darkness doesn't seem so scary anymore when youve lived it, like walking thru a haunted house; only the haunted house is your life & the ghouls & goblins hiding in the shadows getting ready to pounce on the first passerby that crosses their paths, are your friends & the only ones left to fear are the quote-unquote normal folk who are wanting to destroy you.

Jeremy Void is the author of 15 books. He lived fast, he fell hard, and he came to with a broken head, a worthless mind, and this devastating ability to paint with words down the page. Line after line, he continues to amaze, devestate, and deviate. With lyrical prose that plow through the airwaves like kamikaze fighter pilots; with poetry that treads a fine line between brilliant and insane.... ... more
