"You are not special!" People stood and shouted around me As I sat and listened to other words of encouragement "You are not special!" People shouted trying to break free As I sat and pondered my bodies torment "The world around you is a lie!" People clapped others cried Not with sorrow but the joy of absolution "The world around you is a lie!" The man at the top of the room proclaimed I listen and my duty as a being seemed to longer remain There's nothing new out there It's just TV reruns, reboots and reimagings, reborns and rewinds There is no future just the past again And again and again

Absolution
"You are not special!" People stood and shouted around me As I sat and listened to other words of encouragement "You are not special!" People shouted trying to break free As I sat and pondered my bodies torment "The world around you is a lie!" People clapped others cried Not with sorrow but the joy of absolution "The world around you is a lie!" The man at the top of the room proclaimed I listen and my duty as a being seemed to longer remain There's nothing new out there It's just TV reruns, reboots and reimagings, reborns and rewinds There is no future just the past again And again and again
