(Justa Queen Says) a Tale

I've seen this story before I thought that swimming across was a Chance to leave some worries behind If one expects to submerge in ignorance, then why Was I surprised when I almost drowned If one expects attention, then why Was I dismayed by the shallow affection I've seen this before The people are fed an ideal, only to realize that Some are "the good ones" based on a standard Created by a room of powerful men. In fact, don't Question them, they know what's best. Anything They do will trickle down to those that believe I've seen this The people whom've relied on others to rise Turn around to shout how those very people are Threatening our values. It says so in this ancient Text, just squint hard enough We had to've seen it The slow consolidation leaving us unaware of The night terrors, the cold sweats, forcing you and me To grow content with the snooze button Snooze button Snooze button Snooze button
