The spiders have found the spot on your back you can’t reach
They grew into that monkey you can’t shake
But then you find The one.
There is she to identify that monkey
they all demand that piggyback ride your lower back can’t support
You thrash to frantic scramble then call them your own
We are a unit, let’s call it a family
We are now uncomfortable in our comfortability
Let’s call it love, call it what we know
Duct tape it together and say it’s fixed
Let’s call it love out of fear of the unknown
Smile for the photo, smile out of fear
Ham wasn’t happy, but we all saw his teeth.

This isn’t my real name
This is my game
To write honest lines
But never confess to my crimes
Because they always watch
Your notebook is unlocked
You have no privacy
No way to unleash
Stalin would cream
At America’s “safe” Dream.

-thanks Bush
Capitalism is key!

Like a silicone breast
We cheer
Like a bleached *******
We create
Like a ****** scene
We profit
Like a crumbling nation
We invest
Like people who care
We regress
We regress
We disappear
We are Rome
We never cared

The tree with the name knifed out
The regret
The passion of a new, as a knife
Let me be that blade
Let me be the dark night
Let us forget
Let us make a new
Your body is a light to see the errors
We had created in the dark
Let me be your blade
To cut through your night
...mistakes
And this with mine.

The podcasts lock our doors
You can’t be trusted and they don’t trust you
You’re a ******* but I’m me.
I worked hard to be here
You’re trying to ****, or ******
Don’t lie!
Don’t lie!
You lie!
*******, lock the doors!
It’s true crime, it’s ****, that’s my ****!
One day three girls will **** on it
And the man on the street prefers to hear me scream.
He has been watching me.
Don’t lie
Don’t lie
You watch me Leigh

I’ve built a tower
I’ve built a poem
I’ve built a wall
I’ve built a community
I’ve built an account
I’ve built a...you win

We never found truth
We never really tried
We never had love
We never really tried
We never gave up
We never really tried
We never really tried
We never really tried
We always said we tried
We wish we had tried
We tried to try
Why did we lie?
There was no need to try
We knew we would die
And before us were lies
There was nothing to try.
They wanted us to comply.
