Heavy weighs the death
Of childlike ideals
Their hollow corpses rotted
With severed wrists

The media says “tell no one”
Sleepwalk through reality

I cannot want
I cannot lust
For faces
In a world of masks

The world is cruel, but this cruelty is blanketed by the media. Most people don't want to be burdened by harsh realities. They want to be entertained, distracted. They choose to be selectively ignorant.

How can I respect a society like this?
