How can we attain the perspective of the introspective When detectives aren't respected By crowds drawn by clowns Made vicious by the wishes Of Hades with rabies
In order for humanity to progress We must all consider our place in society Emotional disclosure accelerates our human race Until externalizations halt our momentum We begin to drift Discourse drifts toward absurdity Absurdity drifts toward reality Reality drifts toward Hell And accepting reality Means accepting the bullet's laughter while it drifts through the innocent Then we must accept where our souls have drifted So our minds drift into fantasy We wrap our abandon ties around our neck And go to work
We live in a society Where not giving a **** about what others think Is actually encouraged Yes, exchanging ideas can hurt That's whiplash as we stop drifting and jolt in each other's direction But communication Takes detours to dead ends As honesty and compassion Elude us In a self-perpetuating cycle When education's only purpose Is learning ******* each other Before we know too much Our species drifts toward extinction
