Ian Petch Poet Lyric

The Evolved Mass

Have you heard a heart beat?
Do you know the value of your soul?
Or did you cover up your eyes?
Did you just throw your questions down a hole?

A frightened hold on opinion
Because it hides everything inside a shell
A book that tells you what we are
Is a mask that alienates you in your hell

So sure of what you’ll be
You ride inside the comfort train
The passengers have your face now
You bought a one way ticket to your pain

You’re centred in your anger
But you camouflage it with the sky
The raining has an answer
But you’re still safe under your lies

So innocent in envy
So graceful with your hate
You’re touching up your actions
While what’s inside just rots away

You’re sucking up your anger
It’s so perfect in denial
You’ve figured all your answers
The tape repeats them while you cry
