Wonderland

Justice...ha, Spartacus said it best; there is no Justice, not in this world What sense of Justice is there when concrete jungles become habitats while citizens become jackals who hunt in packs becoming an alpha set when smelling the faintest hint of fear when smelling the faintest whiff of weakness but I forgot, we humans were born animals weren't we abiding by the rules of simple primal desire I've heard it said best that if that's easy for a fight to turn us all into monsters maybe we don't deserve to win She felt it the most, the brunt of it all; she was drowning but no one saw her struggle only me, does that make her a figment of my imagination we had this song we loved to hear all the time It was Wonderland by Kill the Complex "I can't help but wonder, could we have saved each other She's dead and I am dying in Wonderland" Yeah, what a pure wonderland this is a carnival ride affair through this life of suburbia as an invisible girl tries to place her imprint on the world through art, through impression, through a smile upon her face to only have a prank condemn her to scars, bruises, and obscurity She only wanted to make her dream a reality to star in her own self-entitled debut album that is her portrayed masterpiece she constructed this beautiful work of art now laying in ashes as she found it laying in the art room where she found it How dare you how dare any of you she was my best friend, she was my wonderland now share in my horror as I found her hanging by a banister a mural for a martyr
