HELLO This was written when I was angry with my family (when am I ever pleased with them??). As most of these, this was conceived in the shower. It started out as a song and who knows..one day, it just might be. Written May 3, 2002.

Hello

Hello, father.
What are you screaming for?
You're angry at your own father
And acting like him to me.
The bruises hurt, inside and out.
Just get the fuck away from me.

Hello, mother.
What are you upset for?
Your picture perfect family,
This disgruntled angry family
Is all you work and live for.
Just get the fuck out of here.

Hello, sister.
What do you hit me for?
I'm such an albatross
And you're the mother-fucking angel.
You're just a dirty, rotten whore.
Just get the fuck away from here.

Hello, new friend.
What are you drinking for?
You want to be so popular
So you act like them constantly.
It's just a show, you wasted freak.
Just get the fuck away from them.

Hello, old friend.
What are you crying for?
He's only double your age
And has a brand new, fancy car.
He's taking your youth from under your nose.
Just get the fuck away from him.

Hello, ex-boyfriend.
What are you doing here?
I loved you more than enough
But I was just a fucking game.
I hope she gives you real good head.
Just get the fuck off my doorstep.

Hello, young fetus.
What are you living for?
This world is cold and cruel.
No one loves you or even cares.
The war is on before your eyes, child.
Just get the fuck back in that womb.

Hello, dear self.
What are you smiling for?
I've gone and killed them all.
Now they don't exist to me.
Good job, dear self, the time has come to leave.
Just get the fuck out of life.
