See love is what we know
Yet hate is what we seek,
So quick to be alone
So slow to live in peace

The thing that makes life so sacred is that it ends
J Jun 2018
I see the devil inside the people I love
I see a savior inside these dangerous drugs
My first existential crisis, don’t know how I’ll
survive
It made me understand, how we live ain’t alive
Post pictures of the good, ‘likes’ give us false hope
Ignoring how we feel, it’s the only way we cope
Convince ourselves that we’re all stars of our reality show
But really we’re just flawed, and won’t admit we’re alone

Ain’t no man up in the clouds that’s gonna bring us peace
People dying every day, guns are filling the streets
Yet when Sunday comes around, we sit in silence, and preach
Opioid of the masses brings us false security,
Side effects may include: hatred for those that disagree
Please don’t tell me I’m the only one that can see

Pop another pill when we realize it’s fleeting
Gives us hope that life has some ******* real meaning
But really we’re a collection of atoms on a tiny blue dot
And to be honest, no one is as holy as we thought
Jobs made billions off the backs of kids
Madoff acted out of his own self-interest
Ghandi was a hypocrite and mysoginist
Churchill was a ardent white supremacist,
Stalin almost brought the world to nuclear devastation
Einstein made a bomb that wiped out generations
****** oversaw the execution of millions,
Very slim margins separate heroes from villains

Sorry, didn’t mean to burst your bubble
That blue pill is blissful but the red pill is trouble
Propaganda fades away and all you have is reality
At the very least once, every human is bound to see
Life has no meaning, fairytales just don’t exist
There are numerous crises that we won’t outlive
We’re all given an option: either red or blue
The choice is yours, ignorance or truth?

The genius is troubled because he thinks

Everybody’s making plans, but I’m not in them
For this extended weekend, I’ll be all alone
Wasting time on my phone, cuz I’m afraid when it goes dark
All I see is a black mirror, with stranger’s eyes staring back
Unrecognizable to my two green eyes, afraid of what comes next
No wonder I’m not in popular, anxiety and friends don’t mix well
I’ve tried to relate, but I’m afraid of my mind and so are you
Starting to love this state of mind, addicted to the constant panic
Insomniac with a little mania, lay in bed but sleep won’t come
I search for hope inside a world gone mad, haven’t found any yet
J May 2018
I can’t control my emotions
It’s a battle I’ll always fight,
They run deep like the ocean
Keep searching for darkness in light

I seek out problems that aren’t really there
I say I can’t solve em and live in despair
But really I’m lying, I get off on sadness
Chester kept trying but, ‘There’s comfort in panic’

I’m a man that accepts his faults
I’m vulnerable, fragile and soft
I’m wandering around and constantly lost
I’m very far from the person I thought

I never meant for this to happen
I once was a kid that lived free from fear
My apologies, I don’t mean to sound tragic
But my reflection is no longer clear
J May 2018
I don’t know where I’m going, you’ve read that all before
You read because I’m showing, my guts and all it’s gore
I wasn’t used to losing, I’m trying to endure
Coped by just abusing, I don’t go there anymore

My head used to be empty, I was happy with myself
But tougher times were lengthy, took awhile to break the spell
I was trapped inside my mind, losing hope might as well
I was running out of time, that’s what it’s like inside my hell

I’m writing this for purpose, cause I don’t know where that went
Is living really worth it? Never know until we’re dead
Found meaning in my youth, but that is leaving every day
Sun is rising as the proof, life is fleeting no debate

Endless battle with the clock, forcing sleep it never works
When you get inside my thoughts, you will see why I’m concerned
Go from zero to hundred, feeling fine to all alone
Keep my spirit up in public, that is why you’ll never know
