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,1003Please respect copyright.PENANAQx8dju1JgI
living our lives in perpetual depression,1003Please respect copyright.PENANAqAvNRFeCVD
where's the lesson,1003Please respect copyright.PENANALLmPeTmb5r
in being taught,1003Please respect copyright.PENANAdeywqWSHeo
but never learning how to question
Count your blessings,1003Please respect copyright.PENANAtlyuhoBO7V
but as to suffering,1003Please respect copyright.PENANA3ck3Jm2sjH
you're left second guessing.1003Please respect copyright.PENANArQbTFAeU9W
Can't blame your folks or the people buried under the floorboards,1003Please respect copyright.PENANAnYaorb8F75
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,1003Please respect copyright.PENANAbOD9WFIQ0U
they chew on it,1003Please respect copyright.PENANAiosPdgf3d8
but end up wanting nothing to do with it
pump it through a tube, you don't have to think,1003Please respect copyright.PENANAYHj0HqD5sk
just blink as the pictures scroll past1003Please respect copyright.PENANAAFThPLuA97
and all they do is shrink.1003Please respect copyright.PENANAxaEyErym4l
Carry relief in your pocket, 1003Please respect copyright.PENANASCYsso2aDy
escape from a pin drop,1003Please respect copyright.PENANA95p54mVQvS
easy pleasures manufactured so that you never have to stop,1003Please respect copyright.PENANAbSqSU8gqlw
constructed sound so that you can feel more with less,1003Please respect copyright.PENANAvdTq7EWkMt
no need for passion, reaction or an instrument.1003Please respect copyright.PENANAICvm2pXAoy
Drink your emotions like a potion1003Please respect copyright.PENANAsHAL428LDe
art made without understanding the notion.1003Please respect copyright.PENANAw1HM6dDRBp
Just try harder to feel so you make sure that it's real,1003Please respect copyright.PENANAQBPCc904hA
those tears for a character are something nobody can steal.
But what about the "mini you" that cries out in your pocket,1003Please respect copyright.PENANAbrYoJbVzk2
trends, stats, graphs, your individuality docket.1003Please respect copyright.PENANA3QFi3GovCG
So preoccupied with the new that we never learned how to lock it1003Please respect copyright.PENANAD8NJR68j4T
away from the thieves who knew just how to make off with it.
Want your safety? Then pay for it.1003Please respect copyright.PENANA1bbgJq0eKT
While you're at it, work for us,1003Please respect copyright.PENANAGueCcSeCx0
to stop yourself from becoming our puppet.1003Please respect copyright.PENANAE2CvTcz1am
Free mind? No such thing. We made the ideas that you think.1003Please respect copyright.PENANANRCSYRdflP
And here's the thing,1003Please respect copyright.PENANARXkBkBzgQi
all we need from you is the time before and after a blink.
Turn your face into a painting,1003Please respect copyright.PENANA65lGVQSM7I
so when you look in the mirror you don't see an animal fading.1003Please respect copyright.PENANAJyMHo1F55T
The small jaw, no chin, crooked teeth and pimples,1003Please respect copyright.PENANAlmQQnCz31Y
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.1003Please respect copyright.PENANAaUaLSDMXmL
So just escape to your private world,1003Please respect copyright.PENANADJ8txwkVXG
drink sound, live games, eat words,
and enjoy the show.
