Please do not patronize me when I've done it already Because the two actions compound on one another like atomic bombs And I can't take the force Can't take the heat I'm not the Hulk And I'm melting slowly inside already I'm Chernoble Fill me up with concrete Cover the mistake with the plain gray of overlooking Because maybe if w don't look at the mistake The huge ******* disaster that we figured would happen The huge scar left, the hole we tried to close "It'll never happen to us" we said "It'll never happen to anyone we know" we said Yet here we are, I'm in here and you're out there Looking sad because the pain you feel through empathy Is just the self projection your selfconscience made me into The extension of yourself You're sad because I am you [Hypocrite.] But that's okay, because that's society We act as one trying to avoid being the one while claiming we are ONE searching for The One We are all hypocrites living in the gray of overlooking The gray matter where electroshocks go off telling us in binary that we are the superior mind Nothing else will master us "We are invincible" says the idiot "We are magnificent" says the optimist "We are human" Because we are We are all human Though that word is over-used and tied to a defiant and apologetic connotation Like an excuse we were born to give Because society wears the coat that says "No Excuses" But the pockets are filled with slips of paper saying things like: "I'm just one person" "I didn't know" "It seemed good at the time" We are all suckers about something once So don't patronize me Don't patronize my actions When I give a streetlight a serenade Kneeling like my leg was taken by a hand grenade Gesturing out like a grand wedding proposal Using all the arm length at my disposal Don't patronize and judge When my eyes don't budge Maybe the cloud really is that interesting The cloud in the gray of overlooking That overlooks us all That overlooks everything Like a reverse oxygen mask It never felt so good To suffocate
