Repetitious, undeniable, injustices
So numerous in fact, we're enabled to honor each day with an instagram slideshow
And the sideshow is the people who pretend
To protect and serve
Think ahead of the curve
I respect the nerve
For the dead and unheard
Ignoramus, diabolical, now he's famous
Chaos consumes the coast, and the high schoolers place the blame on themselves for their silence
On the violence shown to darker demographics
In the S of A
You live how we say
Minneapolis day
See the power sway
Information, invaluable, infestation
Of cosmetic activists, transforms truth to a trend, but there are those that choose to fight on
Cite the bygones, and won't let the world forget
For their freedom cry
Under one dark sky
If they have to pry
In the public eye
Ran into a friend of mine
Made it seem like I thought
Everything he said was fine
Falsities that he bought
Don't know quite how long it's been
Since our egos last fought
Constantly the edgy man
Always was a weak spot
When the schism came to land
We thought you would last but
Dichotomy had played its hand
You followed the despot
Ever since, everybody I know
Has a fatal symptom
Obvious to everybody else
After he's done with them
Ran into a friend of mine
Made it seem like I thought
Everything he said was fine
Falsities that he bought
Don't know quite how long it's been
Since our egos last fought
Constantly the edgy man
Always was a weak spot
When the schism came to land
We thought you would last but
Dichotomy had played its hand
You followed the despot
Ever since, everybody I know
Has a fatal symptom
Obvious to everybody else
After he's done with them

I can't handle repercussions
Overcrowding begs discussion
Stop the demon halting progress
That is spouting rumors lawless
Sorry sense is not made for you
Incoherent ramblings are due
Coverings are not taking place
Mentioned here in time to save face
Value, cheek scratch
While you, beef hatch
Dilute, detach
Smile you seed satch
I can't handle overcrowding
Stop the demon that is spouting
Sorry sense is incoherent
Coverings are mentioned herein
Far I veer from exploration
Bar the yearly woods vacation
Hear me, my word's instrumental
Clearly infers longest tent pole

I'm thinking about all the people I know and the gatherings I attended it feels so long ago
Where are they now what would I find if I were inclined to peer in their mind to see their grand design
If the goal is to win a thousand dollars every night and learn to drive a car
I'll be by the bar
Part red, part scorn
One thread was formed
Unrest unborn
And yet, was warned
Interest was met
Balance upset
One mess template
Suggest reset
Luckily our contract came with a perforated line
Tear away at will and no one remembers what you signed
You should tell your contact you don't consume what you buy
Split it evenly with your friends and then you die
The machine conspires against you
Stalling in the hour of need
She's got carts of hearts to pack in part to pay in place of plead
The machine conspires against you
Stalling in the hour of need
So tarry away from here
Gather some time to think pre conversation
Tarry away from here
Above all, nature demands that we conform and adapt our will to our idea of what's right and useful

In spite or in anger, in hate or in love
I still ponder it with the utmost scrutiny
Anyways, out of it, I was really out of it
When you came out a bit, I took immunity
The trenches in limbo is where I resided
In the hopes that one day you would be accepting
Suddenly in a secret swap, stakes are so small
Knowing that you're no longer a priority
Despite human nature, I threw in the towel
Not in shame, but in confidence I had to flee
The simple fact is that you're unrealistic
Why waste waking wages when walking is free
I'm givin up, I'm givin up, I'm givin up
I'm givin up, I'm givin up, I'm givin up
I'm givin up, I'm givin up, I'm givin up
I'm givin up, I'm givin up, I'm givin up
I'm givin up, I'm givin up, I'm givin up
I'm givin up, I'm givin up, I'm givin up
I'm givin up, I'm givin up, I'm givin up
I'm givin up, I'm givin up, I'm givin up

I'm thinking about all the people I know and the gatherings that I'm missing it feels like long ago
Where are they now, they're all inside, coming from ivy, they swapping saliva, in record time
If the goal is to walk around the city then I guess I'll learn to drive a car
Meanwhile, at the bar
I'm takin about half a liter to go
Cuz I'd rather see my appendages ground to a powdery snow
Than sit in this room and have this discussion don't ask me a question I'm sure I'd respond with a no
If a jovial person did ask me, then I'm certain we'd still be here after dark
Said the conquesting patriarch
Welcome outside
Gain some insight
Welcome outside
Gain some insight
Welcome outside
Gain some insight
Welcome outside
Gain some insight
Welcome outside
Gain some insight

They don't have a valid motive
Being alone is why they're prone to
Anger bonin hateful ownin
Beer and shonen beat opponent
It's a sheer proponent, Those on top condone it
Call it boyish tomin, call it neo-roman
Call a copper to the crime, ask the cat the time
Cabinet codgers incline; cast the kook a line
It's a ring of fire for the many under fire
Ring of death is higher stakes than falling to desire
I'm impartial
I've credentials
I do not know this boy
I do not know this ploy of which you speak
(Still)
Waiting for a salad over (I am honored) [Have a nap before your testimony]
By the mode of is the owner
Daily groaner happy homer (Please be seated)
Piece of odor please step over
Episode is over, sporting leopard snow fur (I do not know this child)
Special organ donor, for the lesson loaner
Abacus begins to slide darting left and right (I do not owe this child) [You'll be set free]
Tally the total it's tight reconvene at night (Humility)
Make him say he's sorry sorry wait that'd break a story
Lucky break for him the only one nonmigratory

Suddenly understand nothing's final
Not even final things
Fourteen entries in it's finally let fall
Who's finalizing things
How indestructible are your numerous
Little vinyl things
When will you turn your focus towards
Worthwhile things
