I’m afraid
I’m worried
I’m sad
Is there any end
To all of these troubles
I’ve had
That’s where
It starts to feel strange
When I try to relate
Discussing with others
In what I think is
A healthy debate
I smile and I nod
As they tell me about God
That he’s the one that will save us
For those
Who have lost the meaning of self
It’s all that they have
Because they are afraid
They’re worried
They’re sad
Never saw the good in this place
So it’s their way
To close off their eyes
To all that is bad
(and claim that it’s good)
And that’s where
It starts to feel strange
When I try to relate
Things have been strange
As of late
So much happening
That it’s numbing all your feelings
And it can’t get any worse
Your lips are parched
With an abundance of water
Makes it hard to divine
The root of your thirst
And the energetic guard
No longer excites you at the gate
That’s reality
A good moment Lost
So what’s the meaning of great
As of late
Everyone for the first time
Is seeing all of this suffering
And it’s too much
To even try
To have a healthy debate
And that’s where
It starts to feel strange
When I try to relate
Because pretending
That you aren’t trapped
Under all of this weight
Is when your bones start to break
So dig yourself out
Don’t let anything force you to wait
To see all of the colours
Highlighting your life
To finally taste the food on your plate
And for those who believe
In the man in the sky
I heard that
He helps those that do try
He doesn’t only want to hear
That you prayed
And if it doesn’t bring you joy
Or you don’t know what it means
To persevere
It shows us how far
Humans have strayed
A symptom or a cause
Of all the problems of late
And maybe I’m wrong
Since I just can’t relate
Maybe there’s a solution
From opposing positions
If we sit down together
And
Engage in a healthy debate
