Pushing Your Morality

Pushing Your Morality

Pushing your morality like a drug.
A street drug without effect.
An addictive placebo.
An open invitation to dine with scum.
A street drug without effect
That you suck through a straw, providing
An open invitation to dine with scum
In some fast food alleyway.
That you suck through a straw providing
In-depth philosophical integration
In some fast food alleyway
With the synapses blinking like neon.
In-depth philosophical integration
Slagging to a child's mental playground
With the synapses blinking like neon...
Off and on, off and on, off and on.
Slagging to a child's mental playground
While the traffic thumps and pounds
Off and on, off and on, off and on.
Like the pain of a debilitating migraine
While the traffic thumps and pounds,
I stand alone with my head hanging low.
Like the pain of a debilitating migraine
I struggle to see the difference between the sky and the earth.
I stand alone with my head hanging low.
An addictive placebo.
I struggle to see the difference between the sky and the earth, as you
Push your morality like a drug.
