Don't Die

You're all impressionable imbeciles I ridicule your idols Your idealism is void and null I spit at your version of revolt You dig your own grave Just don't ask me what I think about what it says on your gravestone You ask me if I know her? How could I? Everyone around me keeps lying Lies lies lies Piling up like a lot of wet clothes from the storm catching up mildew Attracting 4 legged beautiful nature monsters I wanna say I'll make it through and do it better than the rest of them Soul in tact and all But I could never promise I won't fall Or soil my shoes on the way down Because in this industry down is up and up is down You've only made it when they know how to sound out your name I don't even like mine That's why I hide from it Like I'm running from the law Though illegitimate I will never bail on all my flaws I wish a pound of flesh was enough to feed the hungry and the greedy So we wouldn't have to claim empathy and speak wide eyed apathy as a first language Denying it's a language we were taught at birth simply by being born in the first place OUR PARENTS NEVER CARED ABOUT US UNTIL THEY MET US RUN FAR AWAY FROM THESE CRAZY STRANGERS Why isn't anybody preaching this Teach you to stay away from strangers Your parents only love you cause they own you That's terrifying THAT'S NOT LOVE People lack control they want control = baby One part of the equation every grown up around me always kept neglecting Complete disregard for freedom honestly if Death is but a cure for the world's biggest epidemic Why should I keep quiet and let the elders all wreak havoc
