I was brought into this world by way of time capsule

I refused entry knowing the light was too bright for adaptation

So they tore me from my best and pulled me into the cold

Crying for those warm roots

They washed and clothed me in earthly attire

Years goes by

Pictures captured
fed and dusted
Promise for the future

Life played a game
one where nothing is as it seems
Those dreams become reality
but it still leaves holes unfilled

Introduced to chemical imbalance by way of hysteria

I know my tragedies are nothing special

Nobody makes it to the other side unscathed

Recycle a soul and hope for brighter days

People hurt and cast aside
nerves pinched and walls built
Fleeting attention for the outsider product of the speed generation

A quarter century comes

Recluse by confusion
observer by design

Oh you people

Pull down the earth and let it burn for the next fifteen minutes of fame

Boredom consumed the planet
that is a terrifying notion

We spark up the beggar
wrench and teeth amusement
A Lincoln for pay
and YouTube bound

I no longer see the faces
only ripples of regret
Timelines stack the accusations
child innocents no longer

These chemical reactions become more sinister

Dodge a train while looking for the next ******

These screens seem too grow more nefarious

Breaking down the obscene for easy transportation

Rides through time but I stay stationary

Small finds relieve the angstΒ Β 
but these pains still resonate

Joint stiff from stagnant confines
and this sky bends from abuse

But a ***** of salvation is created

I climb fast hoping for an easy endeavor

I doubt anyone ever makes it to the bottom
