Pouring a tall wine in the fine crystal The fancy stuff from our Wedding day Leaving behind clothing as we speak Your look disregards anything I have to say
My eyes are up here, my beautiful Bride Please focus on my charm & wit I can tell you only desire one thing But first lady, you’re going to have to submit
Civil disobedience Marching against their sullen grain Public executions of our citizens The ones whom systematically resemble our pain
Exhibitions of our worst character traits The trembling hands with transcribed blood Outside of the panoramic eye Yet all the same, caught in the seismic flood
A taciturn refusal to simply exist Check your feed for what revolutionaries say Bold proclamations & campaign slogans But eventually the media hype fades away
Some other crime or scandal to catch your eye Lights, cameras & we all return to normal instead Forgetting those who can’t whore for Zuckerberg But the people still live with a price on their head
Feeling a great need to create
This is a crazy world today
When will we ever thrive when
We don’t remember what we say
Hidden slowly in your dreams
Reality hinders our solutions
Time tocks against us now
Feeling abstract absolution
She’s out there again Dancing in the moonlight It’s easy to tell Things just aren’t right It got to be too much Life went too far She doesn’t say much anymore Every night she wanders under the stars
