Slipping again into depression, spending money I don’t have on my addictions.
Losing grip with my own generation, losing sight of happiness because I’m stuck with these afflictions.
Numbing the pain, slicing away hoping I don’t hit a vein.
Getting lost in lust, losing my trust...
In people, in myself, in democracy, in police, and in policies. Questioning reality, questioning our supposed diversity.
Not seeing the good news, for society only reporting the blues. ******, ****, terrorism, domestic abuse, corruption, it’s all the same every day so sorry if I can’t escape this pessimistic prism.
Getting lost in monotony, getting lost in this rigged monopoly that ***** over minorities.
Getting lost in double edged sword hypocrisy, getting lost in propaganda and blasphemy.

Isolated and shunned, getting gunned down for nothing! Isolated and shunned, oh look another coloured boy on the run!
Watching the continuation of misogyny, watching the continuation of racist alt-right white supremacy.
Watching without speaking, watching without acting. Isolated and shunned, getting gunned down for nothing!
Isolated and shunned, oh look another coloured boy on the run! Slipping away, trying to get away, but I can’t get away!
Just when I think I’m done I get pulled back in. So to deal with this ******* my addictions surface again!
Getting lost in the gin, getting lost in sin.
Trying my best to be of the world, but I always find myself caught up within it!
I want to be an inspiration but I probably disappoint all of yawl and end up like Kurt cobain.

I feel like to fix a soulless world I gotta sacrifice my soul.
I feel like no matter what I do or say people will only see me as a crazy disillusioned fool.
I think change is possible but humanity isn’t willing to change which makes understanding impossible.
Education causes people to question the status quo but society can’t get enough of the status quo.
Because it’s a threat on everything privileged dominant society created, so they try their best to evaporate it.

Isolated and shunned, getting gunned down for nothing!
Isolated and shunned, oh look another coloured boy on the run! Watching the continuation of misogyny, watching the continuation of racist alt-right white supremacy.
Watching without speaking, watching without acting.
Isolated and shunned, getting gunned down for nothing!
Isolated and shunned, oh look another coloured boy on the run!
