Servitude

Painstakingly synthetic

Deficient and pathetic

Your mind is plastic

Yet you have no regret ni your eyes

 

I'm tired of compromises

This polar eclipse is insufficient

One outweighs the other

It's the way it's always been

And the way it always has to be

 

I feel the ground quake beneath my feet

It's not easy to breathe

When I choke on the lies I tell myself

So that I may sleep

There has got to be a way outside these walls

I can see the cracks in the windowpane

Of a failed attempt at resolution

 

Your thoughts digress in a cesspool

Filled with your own bile

A toxic endeavor

Just to make you smile

 

Painstakingly synthetic

Deficient and pathetic

Your mind is plastic

Layers of secrecy

Enveloped in a cluster of sheep

You have no regret in your eyes

 

I feel the ground quake beneath my feet

It's not easy to breathe

When I choke on the lies I tell myself

So that I may sleep

There has got to be a way outside these walls

I can see the cracks in the windowpane

Of a failed attempt at resolution
