In this world they are
Thoughtful
Attentive
Awful
Ineffective
They drink
Knowing it’s poison
Smile as they sink
Can’t unpoison
How could they float or swim
In this darkness
Only one light so dim
Oh goodness
Try to embody
It’s a hole
A body
With zero soul

I no longer dare to take a breath, can't provoke me, I won't breathe
Finding it too risky under the pressure of a thousand seas
Plus, you see, I must conserve the air for my self-righteous pleas
To produce more I planted the forest I can't see through the trees
Gods speed please, I've already been brought to my knees
By the artic breeze off a shoulder so cold it threatens to freeze
This house of cards I call a home sheds support beams with ease
From the inception of my very first organic thought
I've been largely ineffective at controlling my plot
Have I earned that first breath I got or not?
Probably not
The gut shot is how obvious it is that everyone at my table agrees
