Poisoned us to think
Life is work
The cycle repeats
Forty hours a week
Just sell the soul
There’s no relief
Wake up work and sleep
No room to grow when there’s no time to think
Attention span defeat
They want you to be a cog in the machine
Sick of being played a sheep
I won’t sit and let history repeat
My mind’s not that weak
I won’t bow to the elite.

Slipping Away

Days caught slipping away
Pen can’t even scratch a page
I can’t write- got nothing to say
Crippled- I’m in my own way
Can I say something unique?
Or have I already peaked?
Does it matter anyway
I’m too caught in my own space
Everything feels the same
Still face. Different day.
How do I change if all I feel is grey?
How do I know what to say?
Stuck in my thoughts
Sick of this mental rot
I’m in the cell I wrought
Overthinking is the disease
Need to sort out a release
Overthinking is my disease.

What do I have to do?
I tried to hold on
I can’t make it through to you
The person I know is gone
While you’re stuck in your four walls
The world keeps turning
While your head’s in a box
We’ve been the ones learning
You’ve cut all your ties
So here goes mine
Fill your head with lies
I’ll play the villain you despise
Why can’t you say it to my face?
I guess it’s time I put you in your place
Your ire really shows
Misplaced anger always glows
Build a pillar to betrayal felt
But your monument’s soon to melt
Your ire really shows
Never thought it’d be blow for blow
One lash then another
What a selfish way
To make it known you suffered
One stab then another
What a selfish way
Point the finger at a brother
Fabricate distaste on my lips
When you’re the one who’s ran amiss.

I’ve been burning a slow rage
It’s time for me to escape
Finally face to face
With what I hate
I’ve been wasting my time
Can’t change what’s not mine
Learning to let go
Still raging inside
Society taking and taking
Taking advantage you and me
It’s so plain to see
Our lives held in the hands of a few men
How’s this real life?
Some hold power
Watch the others die
Feels like a dream
Stuck in this scheme
I refuse to accept this reality
It starts with you
It starts with me
Unlearning everything we’re taught to believe.
