Angst

Pathetic as you stare into the screen Trying to find meaning with someone else's life Dragging down all you thought you had As you waste away with every passing minute So disgusting it sounds as people talk of freedom Hoping life is the dream you do not wake up from Beat into submission the rebellious youth As they try to teach you the world you live in No longer exists So what?! It doesn't matter I can scream at you all day You’ll remain as deaf as ever So what?! It never mattered I can nail open your eyes Still you'll never see, you'll never see Passing by the church you said could burn Lying through your teeth as you proclaim your faith Condemning me as I swim in your shadow You never told me you'd be the one to kiss the flames Despising the fortunate ignorant Living life to a standard I cannot see Welling up inside, the hateful words push through I’d rather see you try to fly then know your name Spoiled, name-brand clone So what?! It doesn't matter I can scream at you all day You’ll remain as deaf as ever So what?! It never mattered I can nail open your eyes Still you'll never see, you'll never see You’ll never see Me
