The world will see itself from a third party view when I am done
It pays for this vision in quarters, nickels, and dimes
Looking everyday for slots in the earth to finger it's coins into
It gets old, she gets old, she gets tired, paying for piece of mind all the time
Watching farms fly and mushroom clouds of people continually miss them over
And over
Again
Always melting all our faces away and keeping our hands rough
She gets tired of the difference, the chase, the neutrality, the sides to take
It’s seeing a vision with no context
Yes you see everything inside out
Don’t talk to anyone
Yes your right and everyone is wrong
She sees me in the bathroom at night staring at the mirror
Staring at myself from a third party view
I pay for it with beliefs, fairness, equality, color, driving my car
Every world is one that will not look past itself
Or through itself
We are our own planets
Pretending to be jumbled together in the galaxy
But we’re all alone
Looking at ourselves from third party views
