'People today are so oblivious it's like they're brain dead' (intro)

Oh, you got up, didn't like anything about yourself

So you decided to change everything about yourself 

Now you fucked up, don't recognize a thing about yourself

-It's all just fluffy white clouds and pretty rainbows

In your head

So just keep living in your fake pretentious show

Til you're dead- (chorus)

Oh, you were taught, by liars and bigots just like yourself

So now you're confused and you know nothing about yourself 

Now you're just fucked,  trapped in a lie and you can't save yourself 

It's all just fluffy white clouds and pretty rainbows

In your head

So just keep living in your fake pretentious show

Til you're dead

So when did your opinion become the truth?

Canceling the ones who don't agree with you

You're oblivious to all that's around you

You just keep singing along to your favorite tune

It's all just fluffy white clouds and pretty rainbows in your head

So just keep living in your fake pretentious show til you're dead

You can keep living in your fake pretentious show til you're dead

You think I'm the one who gave up on us

But have you looked in the mirror lately?

Your reflection is faded like a ghost

Your eyes are black and your soul is empty

And you swear you're not the one

And that this argument is done

And you think I'm on the run

When, in fact, I'm fucking done with you

I'm gonna make it through

The hell you put me through

I'm gonna bury you

I am done

You think you're the one who's gonna save us

But you can't save yourself from imploding

You're swimming around in your own disgust

Your narcissistic ways are showing

And you swear you're not the one

And that this argument is done

And you think I'm on the run

When, in fact, I'm fucking done with you

I'm gonna make it through 

The hell you put me through 

I'm gonna bury you

I am done

Erase me

I'll erase you too

Replace me

Now I know we're through

You think you're the one who's gonna save us, but you can't save yourself

I'm fucking done with you

I'm gonna make it through

The hell you put me through 

I'm gonna bury you 

We are done

If money's the root cause of all evil

It's no wonder what you preach is unbelievable 

If God gave a shit about you and I

Then why the hell did he leave us all here to die?

If freedom's now a privilege,  not a right

Then why the fuck are you telling me how to live my life?

Could it be that we're all forsaken?

Could it be that Christ was mistaken?

Cause it seems that we've been forsaken all along (chorus)

If you are able to change the whole world

Then what the fuck are you crying like a baby for?

Could it be that we're all forsaken?

Could it be that Christ was mistaken?

Cause it seems that we've been forsaken all along

The holy ghost has forsaken you/  has forsaken me/ has forsaken us

Could it be that we're all forsaken?

Could it be that Christ was mistaken?

Cause it seems that we've been forsaken all along

Herding the sheep

Don't make a peep

Isn't this all so perfect?

No time to weep

Just go to sleep

And soon this dream you'll forget

Now that I have you attention

You have no choice but to listen 

-Just do as you were told

Sometimes it's best not to know

Just hang your head and follow

I'll give you my hand to hold

As we enter the unknown - chorus

Culling the weak

People are freaks

This fucked up world makes no sense

Force fed deceit

Better not speak

There's no way to make amends

Now that I have your attention 

You have no choice but to listen 

-chorus-

So here I go now

To the unknown 

I won't be alone now

If you'll follow 

-chorus-

I am the fucking cherry

that gets left on the plate

I am recreating a dirty kitchen

without making any room for reward

I have screwed up all my chances

made this home spell out the world crumble

and kicked out all the houseguests

at least the devils still here

are paying me for something

I can’t usually explain

the things that make my heart hurt

and these people have their own fucking friends

who will tell them everything is okay

they are okay

I can’t usually explain

why my heart has not taken me out to dinner

in a few decades

why my mind keeps slipping down the mountain

why I sit here with exactly what I want

still thinking up ways to make a tragedy out of it

so I publish all the gray on my desk

and leave out the color

so I keep buying clothes that don’t fit

running around in them

and being confused when the world looks strangely

so I keep going out with someone else’s face on

and forgetting it’s there

when I look in the mirror

but sigh shrug and say

at least it’s better than mine

so I sit here and set the room on fire

and when that’s not enough

I strike a match to the fire

and when other pieces of me

come in

I hear

why would you do this?

because I’m not you

I have a lot to say but I think you have more

I will be the echo

hold out a cliff in a bottle

for voices quieter than mine

I have a lot to say but I don’t even speak half your language

I am using my twenty-six letters

squeezing each of them dry until I run out of control

left with empty shells

I have a lot to say but this is not quite imposter syndrome

this is not quite empowerment

this is somewhere in the middle where I play hide-and-seek

knowing I am making it impossible for them to find me

so something will be better tomorrow.

As real as this is, as real as this feels,

I know it won’t feel really real

until I experience something tangible

like a riot

or being told to wear a star.

Just spreading Love Hope Joy Peace
 Just hoping for the best
 Best to happen
 Best everyday
 Everyday night and day
 Everyday all the time
 Time and time again
 Time all around
 Around comes and goes
 Around up and down
 Down play it all time
 Down there you go
 Go and don't waste time
 Go and don't look back
 Back you're again
 Back you've come
 Come and show me how
 Come and lets talk
 Talk once more
 Talk and make it right
 Right about us
 Right as it should be
 Be all between us
 Be once and for all
 All that is what I want
 All that is what I need
 Need that n' more
 Need is all this
 This can't be bad
 This sounds so good
 Good is to do it
 Good is to see
 See it all clear
 See you at last now
 Now at last
 Now I can see you
 You make me glad
 You make me wait
 Wait a long time
 Wait n' much more
 More I love you
 More of your love I want
 Want you night and day
 Want you I shout
 Shout your dear name
 Shout it with all my heart
 Heart and mind
 Heart and soul
 Soul
 Mind

~Author's Notes:

The ' Blitz Poem ' is a poetry form or style created by Robert Keim.

table manners.

sometimes I walk through the hall

and say hi to you.

but more often

I get to thinking

what is the point of two letters

making a sentence

when I would really rather leave you alone

or pour my heart out.

and yes sometimes

the table manners pass me over

but I would rather be home than here.

timekiller

I am spending clocks on it

waiting until the right moment to look up and

hi

let you know I am human

but this is not why I’m human.
