Jul 2010
they're still debating
and I'm just waiting
while the world is fading
around me
you see
i'm not strong enough
to give a ****
so I don't
because I don't have the guts
to stand up for myself
if I felt
differently than everyone else
so we blame everyone else
tiptoe around ourselves
and our responsibility
β€œoh this world is a terrible place”
I hear them say
as they do nothing
to make it change
they debate
or wait
or watch it fade
"this world is a terrible place"
they say
