The Commentator Complex

Thinking when I'm not speaking

Dreaming when I'm not sleeping

Holding my tongue

But internally i'm screaming

 

Its a wonder all these things that I'm feeling

Don't make me force my own bleeding

Or stop me from breathing

 

It seems they live within my skin

Internalized karma killers

They say the good die young

Well the old are our pillars

 

So where does that leave us?

Snorting coke of the same mantle

From which we worship Jesus

 

Castles made of sand

Are the realty of the land

In between the paint and plaster

Huddle humorless laughter castors

 

And in between the organic plastic

Is where my hope lies

So long as they stay focused

Keep their mind clear and open

 

But who knows when

Change will come about

Like a siren to the deaf

It's silent when it shouts

 

The thoughtless opinion population

Sleep in the mire they were raised in

Like cave men

Not daring to walk the paths less taken
