I shot a man Erupted his brain into shreds Shattered his slack jaw with my booted heel, they laughed when his blood spilled, flowing and simmering on the summer cement Who do you trust? If we could quit and begin again If my actions had no consequence If you were able to mask your true identity If everyone only chased impulsive pleasure Would we live differently? I am afraid that we are sinking I am certain that we will slowly poison ourselves until we become immune Justifying our acquired weaknesses, ruining any and all friendly competition Ignoring flags on the play that say there are too many players on the defensive line Who told you that this is real? Trapped in one body for the entirety of this consciousness cannot persuade me that I am here Take me into the vastness of smeared pink and blue Where the birds find a place to disappear Lighten this heart of mine, let me float where winds are born, where the noise is lost so that I may feel as alone as I am, truly May I be excused?
