General Population

Requiem in your false hope Laying flat on your back praying for death Shut your eyes and everything else out Drown your reality and float on what you feel is necessary If you feel it then it’s right You know that pulse that shocks your system and you lose sight People laugh in others expense at something not understood because that’s what it’s meant to be Ill informed perpetually abused for the fact that you’re being kept in the dark Letting demons breathe and walk around in the daytime Smiling at looking down at their watch Waiting for your biggest moment that is being held back a grade to learn more humiliation and disappointment
