Satisfied 01:01
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.
2.
Vain 00:46
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
3.
Surrounded 01:24
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
4.
Mirrorscape 02:10
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.

Discussed 00:59
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
6.
Protected 02:58
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
