I opened the box and the cat is, in fact, dead
It died while we were all scratching our heads
We killed something small because we think
Our thoughts are more important than something that breathes
Maybe it’s easier to keep the box closed
Because then it’s alive, as far as we know.
Everything’s fine, long as you don’t look
We keep our eyes closed so we stay off the hook.

not-so-subtle **** you to parents/family/friends that ignore when someone has a problem so that they can keep thinking everything is fine
