There’s a silence in-between the broken ecstasy of youth The dysfunctional becomes the idealistic way of everyday behavior The act of pretense and the loud incomprehensible filth Take a listen to this person Hear their story unfold Tell me you can’t feel their hearts fault That slip of the tongue   That downward glance And tell me you agree A fluid filled night Music that cuts through the room so quietly Conversation so easily forgettable Memories so happily forgotten Nights we ‘blissfully’ collect become the substance of being The reality of fiction I pretend to care about We carelessly listen to ignorance and stupidity Fall in love on a night of this Fall in love with a lie that’s so perfectly built Building a life with the strangers around us Strangers we pretend to know Strangers we pretend to be.

'Social' Life.
There’s a silence in-between the broken ecstasy of youth The dysfunctional becomes the idealistic way of everyday behavior The act of pretense and the loud incomprehensible filth Take a listen to this person Hear their story unfold Tell me you can’t feel their hearts fault That slip of the tongue   That downward glance And tell me you agree A fluid filled night Music that cuts through the room so quietly Conversation so easily forgettable Memories so happily forgotten Nights we ‘blissfully’ collect become the substance of being The reality of fiction I pretend to care about We carelessly listen to ignorance and stupidity Fall in love on a night of this Fall in love with a lie that’s so perfectly built Building a life with the strangers around us Strangers we pretend to know Strangers we pretend to be.
