I sit
I think
But I can’t explain

Nobody knows why anymore
Quite frankly no one cares

We are minuscule flakes
As important as the number hairs
On the top of your head

I think we cared once
However long ago that was
Nobody remembers why anymore
And I don’t want to care

But I do
I do

Beauty is dying
Love decaying
To be honest I can’t remember
The last time I heard someone saying
‘I love you’
Without the other one paying
The price for love

I think love used to be free
No one suffers uncompensated anymore
And that’s just the way it is

We’ve just gone numb
As if society had been given a high grade drug
One that replaces our thoughts with nothingness
A washing of the mind

And
I think it’s wearing off of mine
Yet I’m trapped alone in my freedom
It’s foolish
But I hope theirs will fade away in time
