Pay Attention
Its dark in here. Why is it so dark? I'm scared.
Really guys.
Yay we can see again. It burns. Well how did you manage that?
I only closed my eyes you imbeciles.
Whoa, there is no need to be cruel, you jerk! Seriously man, you could've hurt our feelings.
And who are you to get mad at us. you were the one who had his eyes closed while driving.Yeah!
I was blinking.
That is no excuse. Nope. No excuse. Your excuses are futile.
Well I can't keep my eyes open forever. Besides, everyone blinks.
Wrong. Yup, wrong. Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong!
What do you mean wrong?!
We're just saying that some people can keep their eyes open forever. If not, at least an entire day.
Well not me, so get over it.
Oh yes you can. We would know. We are your subconscious. Yeah you really should listen to us more.
Maybe I would if you weren't so damn noisy all the time.
There he goes again. Yup the man can't hold his temper. I think I'm actually offended this time.
Erg.
No, but seriously chump. He means kid. Yea thats what he meant.
I don't need you guys I can think for myself.
Think what. Yeah we are your thoughts. Subconscious remember.
I think if you just left me alone I'd be better off.
Better off. Better off! What do you mean better off?
It’s true.
We don't think you understand your situation. We are your thoughts and without us you'd be brain dead. So if we make any type of judgement or tell you to do something, you do it.
That’s not fair.
It’s not our fault you're weird. So stop being such a downer. Hey, at least you were lucky enough to have voices as cool as us, your subconscious personalities.
Yeah I feel so blessed.
Well you should. It’s only natural. We are pretty awesome.
Ok know it all. If you're so smart then tell me what I should do next.
Well first off you could start paying attention to the road. But since we know you're too stupid to accomplish this. We think it would better to pull over and hitchhike.
That is a terrible idea. Why would anyone do that?
Well you do seem kind of flustered. It’s not safe to drive while angry. And we don't want to see you get hurt.
You're crazy, I'm a great driver.
Are you sure?You seem to be going kind of fast. Is something bothering you?
The only thing bothering me is you.
We haven't said one offensive thing towards you. You've been nothing but rude towards us. So how are we in the wrong?
I don't know you’re just really getting on my nerves.
You know what I think would calm you down? A lullaby. A poem perhaps.
Please, no, I need to concentrate on the road.
You my friend who has started to sink
We care more about you than you might think
For we are your captain and we’ll go down with this boat
And we know for a fact that you do not float
So listen to us we know what we're doing
If you are to die then you're not the only one you're screwing
Shut up!
We told you so
Sorry we don't mean to gloat
But it’s not up to us if you don't want to see this boat float
But like we said we’re its captain
So do what you're told
Don't take any risks
Don't do anything bold
And if you do we will not lie
We’ll tip this boat over
And you'll be sure to die.
I hate you.
We know. We don't blame you. I think we may shed a tear.
