I pack it up I pack it in Again Like Christmas morning As a child anticipation growing Silver bows Wrapped gifts Popping is coffee brewing My hands jitter This world This life Abrupt and chaotic Everchanging quickly Gaslighting our brains Information overload sending us spinning An entire generation Afraid of committing to anything Ever Bred by destination from Twin Towers Most of us know nothing but rubble The day to day struggle The debt collecting Consumeristic spending Homeless neglecting Beginning of an ending It's as if we were Rome If only we trusted ourselves And history repeating itself Perhaps another time we will learn Most days I am concerned for myself As I lose my voice longing to be heard I get a bit absurd With words Like a Nerds Rope Like seriously That candy is overkill Coincidence or not Like Ripley's thickening the plot Getting caught Couldn't have been me Definitely not Accountability lacking If I've said it once I've said it twice I'm maddening Like Jason with the mask Or sharped fingered Freddy Murder in the streets I mean sheets It must be a dream Or rather a nightmare Turned reality The moon away The earth still close Gravity Something in my brain Says loudly STOP
