Just something I wrote down hastily while out of my mind and unable to fall asleep. No one ever said I was good at rhyming or beat but its something every teenager should do once, right? Although I'm a little late to the party.
Here we are,986Please respect copyright.PENANApvG5vHGJnH
living our lives in perpetual depression,986Please respect copyright.PENANAcELqZAeump
where's the lesson,986Please respect copyright.PENANAxdmKPMKugQ
in being taught,986Please respect copyright.PENANA2UsMfviVZ0
but never learning how to question
Count your blessings,986Please respect copyright.PENANAuNl80K9i9O
but as to suffering,986Please respect copyright.PENANAXwoiP7oxH0
you're left second guessing.986Please respect copyright.PENANAs3KOnuNjc1
Can't blame your folks or the people buried under the floorboards,986Please respect copyright.PENANA6sEu3aB9L0
but ourselves who left all of the "bad thoughts" ignored.
Too much money, kids of the millennium don't know what to do with it,986Please respect copyright.PENANAyjOxzkf7Vi
they chew on it,986Please respect copyright.PENANAB56KofiyR8
but end up wanting nothing to do with it
pump it through a tube, you don't have to think,986Please respect copyright.PENANAxsrjQk2O0D
just blink as the pictures scroll past986Please respect copyright.PENANACEaSCwYgqD
and all they do is shrink.986Please respect copyright.PENANA9N2NfK9Cwu
Carry relief in your pocket, 986Please respect copyright.PENANARLQFtIWPO1
escape from a pin drop,986Please respect copyright.PENANAUOj260ooHJ
easy pleasures manufactured so that you never have to stop,986Please respect copyright.PENANAZbdySRFyff
constructed sound so that you can feel more with less,986Please respect copyright.PENANABQevDgLVup
no need for passion, reaction or an instrument.986Please respect copyright.PENANAMWUAuMCbhw
Drink your emotions like a potion986Please respect copyright.PENANAqEaW8H9dcO
art made without understanding the notion.986Please respect copyright.PENANAb4J0uCEl8a
Just try harder to feel so you make sure that it's real,986Please respect copyright.PENANANAhapEZzzu
those tears for a character are something nobody can steal.
But what about the "mini you" that cries out in your pocket,986Please respect copyright.PENANAf1uBOMncQ2
trends, stats, graphs, your individuality docket.986Please respect copyright.PENANApaOcDPm1YQ
So preoccupied with the new that we never learned how to lock it986Please respect copyright.PENANAe8765yIcI4
away from the thieves who knew just how to make off with it.
Want your safety? Then pay for it.986Please respect copyright.PENANA8EeY6OFPcE
While you're at it, work for us,986Please respect copyright.PENANAL9Q3Re0Krd
to stop yourself from becoming our puppet.986Please respect copyright.PENANA5A5QIhJR6B
Free mind? No such thing. We made the ideas that you think.986Please respect copyright.PENANANxWdXxy38N
And here's the thing,986Please respect copyright.PENANAHTgr6djG2x
all we need from you is the time before and after a blink.
Turn your face into a painting,986Please respect copyright.PENANA8bZrbR6xEB
so when you look in the mirror you don't see an animal fading.986Please respect copyright.PENANA1gNYZjtwUW
The small jaw, no chin, crooked teeth and pimples,986Please respect copyright.PENANAaFU1F8esAx
give up a few weeks of your life so your smile can finally have dimples.
Now I'm not saying the world's finally ready to blow.986Please respect copyright.PENANAW4fa02LEc1
So just escape to your private world,986Please respect copyright.PENANAOHmN5SsCJ6
drink sound, live games, eat words,
and enjoy the show.
