'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

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.
