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,1011Please respect copyright.PENANApj6Hwq4qSd
living our lives in perpetual depression,1011Please respect copyright.PENANAAvz3aym0Uf
where's the lesson,1011Please respect copyright.PENANA7oJEtSwwWm
in being taught,1011Please respect copyright.PENANAyej0DbUkr9
but never learning how to question
Count your blessings,1011Please respect copyright.PENANAWeidt69TrW
but as to suffering,1011Please respect copyright.PENANAPwUMirfn9B
you're left second guessing.1011Please respect copyright.PENANA8L1lQQ7TQJ
Can't blame your folks or the people buried under the floorboards,1011Please respect copyright.PENANAThZ2LnLMpD
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,1011Please respect copyright.PENANAJBi1PkFAsk
they chew on it,1011Please respect copyright.PENANAZbmUHSzPVm
but end up wanting nothing to do with it
pump it through a tube, you don't have to think,1011Please respect copyright.PENANAsZLuaucdjA
just blink as the pictures scroll past1011Please respect copyright.PENANAtzKz5Wv6Ue
and all they do is shrink.1011Please respect copyright.PENANAvY8V9draig
Carry relief in your pocket, 1011Please respect copyright.PENANAKmF5QjJEwl
escape from a pin drop,1011Please respect copyright.PENANAfy0RAOVlxm
easy pleasures manufactured so that you never have to stop,1011Please respect copyright.PENANAosO2SJorK1
constructed sound so that you can feel more with less,1011Please respect copyright.PENANA3sxMw6zHFM
no need for passion, reaction or an instrument.1011Please respect copyright.PENANAbRvhDQj0Mz
Drink your emotions like a potion1011Please respect copyright.PENANAOJYyur3n0K
art made without understanding the notion.1011Please respect copyright.PENANA2XRUd2wlMg
Just try harder to feel so you make sure that it's real,1011Please respect copyright.PENANAGkOkIxe8Sy
those tears for a character are something nobody can steal.
But what about the "mini you" that cries out in your pocket,1011Please respect copyright.PENANARUiAoLC7gH
trends, stats, graphs, your individuality docket.1011Please respect copyright.PENANAOffxKy9jPs
So preoccupied with the new that we never learned how to lock it1011Please respect copyright.PENANAsWSrPglg40
away from the thieves who knew just how to make off with it.
Want your safety? Then pay for it.1011Please respect copyright.PENANAn1rSmboy49
While you're at it, work for us,1011Please respect copyright.PENANAWDjf4RAInQ
to stop yourself from becoming our puppet.1011Please respect copyright.PENANAjNnMRXkCqF
Free mind? No such thing. We made the ideas that you think.1011Please respect copyright.PENANAxdi8696jm9
And here's the thing,1011Please respect copyright.PENANAWSzy5oYsA1
all we need from you is the time before and after a blink.
Turn your face into a painting,1011Please respect copyright.PENANAMCVwbrSH3Q
so when you look in the mirror you don't see an animal fading.1011Please respect copyright.PENANAY4tP5jMFGY
The small jaw, no chin, crooked teeth and pimples,1011Please respect copyright.PENANA9HNKuMhnPy
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.1011Please respect copyright.PENANABeHHUf610N
So just escape to your private world,1011Please respect copyright.PENANAKINVfmZdNq
drink sound, live games, eat words,
and enjoy the show.
