tell me i’m alive, tell me i’m alright
tell me that i tick tick tock
sadly brutalize, cheaply criticize
i’m done with all this sick sick talk

everyone’s a liar selling me their time, but i can’t hear a word they say
i wish that i was brighter in polity and science, but i’m suffocated by their ways.

fantasy falls on its face, potential smolders
no better life to replace the disappointment
