Look Around

Do you see it? Hanging in the air around you Swirling, swaying Leaving traces of sickness Can you feel it? Clawing at your very soul Breaking, gnawing Unavoidable Thanatos Corrupting knowledge Debilitating pathos Wearing me thin Taking its toll Breaking my will And leaving me breathless Ignoring the obvious Deliberant madness You shatter my senses I can't understand this Your song is a requiem And when you look around The faces you see Are mirroring the trash you're spewing Contorted and repulsed The fact remains You're nothing but a sad old tabloid So when you finally open your eyes I really hope you do Snap out of the trance you're in Hope you go back to who you are Oh, please remember Just for a moment, for just a split second The person you really, truly, wished you'd be And when you look around The faces you see Are mirroring the trash you're spewing Contorted and repulsed The fact remains You're nothing but a sad old tabloid
