Not everything appears to be interesting
when you think you know something
about about the present
you have no idea about

It's another surprise
you overlook
because you don't care
you think you don't wantΒ Β it

Do you want materialistic things
because you can see them
and feel them
don't they make all the bad things go away?

So you would think
to feel love for something
you traded paper for
just for possession

Do you like it?
It's a new model
they made hundreds of thousands of
just for you because you're all so special

How about a complementary waste of space
to make you less of a person
and more of living item
this is the dream we live for

Nothing sacred here
just broken dreams
oh and guess what
there's a pill for that

What do we know?
That we know
what we remembered
from learning in our language

We understand scribbles
better than we understand ourselves
we think we know
but we know nothing
just think and observe

Try to remember
and call it knowledge
instead of an event
if it doesn't matter
to you.

I don't truly understand
it's just an idea in my head

Enjoy your things
