The screaming won’t stop, the crying won’t end, the sounds the sounds
The sighing profound, for crying out loud, the sounds the sounds
Just close your eyes, please don’t complain
Shut off your mind, no more refrain
Remember solitude? Silence? Closed doors? Remember those?
Serenity? I do I do. Traveling? I do.
Being on time? I do I do. Packing light? I do.

Vain

Your worth is determined by thumbs up and hearts and laughs and affirmations
Your vanity is shameless and shallow and two dimensional
Your ego inflated by casual acquaintances.
Your end game is likes, and that’s why
Your lie is empty and I feel sorry for you, for you

Surrounded

instead of your finger on the pulse you’re wagging it
it’s all about me, coward, cadaver
Lock them up they broke the law no one can breathe, mouth breather
surrounded by sycophants
nod their heads with complete trust
surrounded by psychopaths
shake their heads at anything remotely logical
surrounded by sycophants
clap their hands at gleeful ignorance
surrounded by circumstance
history will not be kind and I’ll gladly teach it
placing your finger on the trigger and trembling
it’s not about you
it’s anything else break bread instead of wills to live
see who the problem is

Mirrorscape

Reflections are strangers with familiar smiles and predictable rhythm. They don't intend. They don't empathize. They want for nothing. But increasingly they're all I see, and clarity's closing in.
Distortions in the light catch my eye, and I'm finding fractures in the surface as I try to see through it. And through it, I'm beginning to wonder if my vantage point is from the inside out. I've lost track of which side is home, and instinct doesn't trust me, let alone serve me. At this point, there's nothing left to do but reflect.

Be important
exist
just to be safe
to be discussed
talk about me
just to live without fear
to be the change
to be significant
to be embraced
to love
be sympathetic
make this my home
(blast part)
to feel welcome
matter
be in the room
challenge your role
challenge their role
to warrant sympathy
to be alive
without hypocrisy
take a step back
reflect
to be the change
to be the change
(blast)
Just talk to me
live in my shoes
just talk to me
walk in my skin and feel my breath
just talk to me not more or less just talk to me and just treat me as if I were you

I didn’t do it, it wasn’t me
But I still see it on my feed
It didn’t happen it’s all a lie
Watching this one slowly die
Ears are bleeding stomach turns
Trouble breathing lungs still burn
I don’t think I can ever learn
Walking where the cars won’t swerve
All to protect and to serve
How can we trust what we hear
When all we see incites fear
Just own up and take the fall
Every time you get the call
Ears are bleeding stomach turns
Trouble breathing lungs still burn
Walking where the cars won’t swerve
All to protect and to serve
Just abolish everything
