No one seems to notice They only shrug they shoulders And go about business as normal Their ordinary rapport but I'm spiraling in a downward Cycle like the toilet bowl My s### disposable to most Decompose and erode They too hard nosed to notice It's no-ones fault but my own, I dig my own hole It's time to climb out and smell the roses
Finish the lyric…
An indifferent individual With limited dividends Hanging by a thread Swallowed by the corporate Leviathan Sick of admiring the rich and famous While we sit in anguish Can't go against the grain Bang your head against the pavement.
Finish the Lyric…
Count my blessings yes Also can't help but count rejections All the oppression and destress Built up like bad credit I’m sick of asking for help Sick of not being able to get it Sick of empty sentiments Just layering on like sediment Sick and tired Of being sick and tired These mick and mire for hire doctors Wish they’d quit and retire Like politicians making decisions That conflict with their own conditions The only prescription that does anything No signature required with it.
Can’t intermingle Who are my own people Relate to those who struggle Forget color, race, or gene pools We equal, get swindle By a few in collusion Who've been doing the screwing since Soon after the constitution writ "Do your due diligence, get you due" They said, they full of it That’s restricted For specific silver spooner kids Who complain at non consumers Like we've got something to give For useless frivolousness It's true disillusionment Pay fair wages Don't just wage war Doomsday rakes ruins Man get what you paid for Societies stay polluted these days.
Took a small knee high Meek-minded naive tyke Tossed him head Over heel over hilt over hide Never mind, mind over matter You succeed on their terms They teach what they learned Drops out the tree face first Acorn scorned Right in s### to harvest Don’t have to be the smartest Often discouraged regardless As long as you can follow orders No worries, you'll resurface And further spread the turds Of the surplus disservice.
I'm A Menace to Humanity Man hand me a decree With a stamp of declaration I'm the chancellor in chief I'm the man to see, the man to be Man I look like a manatee Mismanaging mankind to a mammoth degree Man I am king Of the single greatest nation All in favor say aye All opposed may die. Either way, hey we all may die...
Finish the lyric…
I do follow protocol Until I’m bottomed out And worse off than before Tossed off forgot about Caught in rocks and hard places Can’t save face like Murdock I’m the d-team squad A reserves spot third-opt More cons then pros More pain than joy Now my whole brain void Funked like soul train noise
Finish the lyric….
The welfare tides rise And we pay the price Ya'll lie at the top As 90% dies We drown, you're fine That's economic prowess It’s hard to swallow Or stay afloat among the imbalance.
If my tears could talk Maybe they could find the words Maybe they’ll strike a nerve With another soul and be heard, the hurt If yours could talk too What could I learn? Underneath the curse of fear Unworthiness we endure We could be miracle workers If we just believe The love we share with the universe And all of its beings The harmony of another Feel hearts beating free Because it’s beating in sync Only an open heart can receive Anything the heart can conceive Because all you want is peace Generosity Understanding honesty, honestly If my tears could talk It’s because of my fear not to speak, Interwoven with all pain Only together we break free.
I know loneliness, Being estranged Refraining to strange silence, With so much you’d like to say I know withholding emotions, Though I feel them so immensely Letting things go, Though I know I struggle feeling empty I know true pain, Without any physical strain Yet physical pain, nonetheless, that no stretch alleviates I know what it’s like laying awake at night Praying everything may change I know anger, I know rage, I know guilt, I know shame I know what it’s like when I don’t know why I feel a certain way To go searching for meaning, Knowing I’ll end up back in the same place I know taking the wrong advice, I know it’s myself to blame I know medication, I know intoxication I know filling the wrong prescription, By the wrong consultation With unwanted results, I know drug addiction, Self infliction I know slipping up again and again, And I can’t fix it And I sure as shit know judgement, From people who’ve never lived it When I ask for help, Knowing I’m worse off for insisting When I want someone to care, But I’m not worth the commitment I know my instability, I know what it’s like when no one listens When I have no place to go, So I end up sitting At the dock of the bay, Watching the tide drifting Knowing nothing may come my way, But what’s the difference Since I know if I had everything now It won’t replace whatever’s missing. But I also know love, When I see someone struggle I know how to shed my own bubble, To show someone comfort I know compassion and forgiveness, Understanding and assistance I can give up my strong opinions, To acknowledge someone different I know when I look at a person, I hope that they’re truly happy They don’t always have to be, If only when it truly matters to be I know when it’s someone else’s moment, And they deserve to have it Because I know when someone is at their best, We become magnets When we see something magical, I know it when it happens When we’re no longer individuals, We’ve become bigger than that sense I know what I know, I know hope is spiritual There’s music in the air, I know you can hear it too. Thank you.
