i can no longer watch tv
cuz that shit really melts my brain
i think i’m what they call sensitive
and easily thrown off my game
all that bloodshed and pettiness
just makes the world seem so insane
and i just feel drained
i go to do my food shopping
and all i can see is packaging
one big mountain of garbage
about to be happening
and i walk past my own self loathing
like i walk past animals in the zoo
trying not to really see them
and the prison they didn’t choose
and if i should ever quit your spotlight
i hope you won’t think me wrong
says the poet to the moonlight
says the singer to the song
it’s enough just to stay upright
upright in every single way
and pour your love into your children
until there’s nothing left to say
pour your love into your children
until there’s nothing left to say
