So theres me and Johnny Cigarettes in some dirty booze brothel sinking some of the good old black and white stuff. Fighting words and racist banter are whispered quietly these days but here they are sung at the top of peoples voices as the grey mist of smoke shrouds people morals and the beer bubbles loosen their mouths.

'I think im in love'

johnny always can surprise and he aint got more shocking than that. What a place to declare love, intention must be known.

'I saw this girl a week ago, her hair was long and her face beautiful. These eyes that seem wider than her whole body just shined at me like a sirens call. I had to approch her and pursue, temptation and excitement forcing my every movement and thought, and for the rest of the day thats what i did following her around the whole city. By nightfall over the river, we were in each other arms like old lovers embracing. Im fucking whole now man, she is this divine creature thats dancing inside me always, filling me with this fucking glee to skip around forests and rivers, its real this time, fucking real.'

I cant believe im friends with someone who talks like this, these fucking Greeks are always too romantic about the world and i needed to end it.

'Your Fiancee wont be happy johnny'

And with that the conversation is dead and the world spins again in normality. In civialisations through the ages, they rise and fall, evolve and unevolve, build and destroy but this one lies stationary, unmoving, asleep and its all conquering.
A society solely built on hedonism with the illusion that there is an ultimate goal out there of love.

I think i missed that class, the one that taught everyone how to say 'I love you' so easily. I guess i missed out because i find it dam hard. Maybe its the romantic Irish in me but didnt it used to mean something, anything.

Johnny cigarettes will alway say hes in love to deny his morals once more the argument that he had a choice on cheating on his fiancee.

But how can you judge a guy who is a product of a society gone AWOL. He is far from unique, there are more like him than most but that doesnt mean his activities are less excusable. Hes a dangerous guy in a distorted way and if i could stop him i would but thats impossible so we just carry on drinking through the night and smoking 2 lighters worth of cigarettes, stationary, unmoving, asleep and its all conquering.

Ever feel like you are being cheated?
