Ordinary

A drop in the ocean, a single grain of sand Another face in the crowd without a stone in hand Extraordinary times make ordinary minds We're desensitized, unmotivated, polarized, humiliated We're ordinary people in extraordinary times A planet of hate a crime a senseless paradigm We witness tragedies, travesties through a telescopic lens Thoughts and prayers and post and shares do nothing to make amends But if sense replaced these shipments of rhetoric and riddance We could free a world afflicted with compassionate indifference We're removed and apathetic like a localized anesthetic It all seems so poetic it's not a hypothetic I scream without a voice Dream that I have any choice What can I do now What can I do What can I do now We promote hypocrisy parading as democracy Policy not morality, fallacy not reality The only things that I can see is errant abnormality Straying from the solace seen in reason and rationality The breaking news is breaking my brain in two I'm stressing and straining to see the forest for the trees But the leaves are fading To match my dimming confidence in common sense and competence The consequence has blinded me Averted eyes refuse to see I scream without a voice Dream that I have any choice What can I do now What can I do What can I do now I'm ordinary It's hard enough to just exist Our hearts and can and bust but it's An emphasis on selfishness When left to fate our world is shit All that evil needs to succeed Is our belief that we are free When it comes to this we won't resist Well just dismiss it so this Call to the abyss is proof that Ignorance is bliss It's ok this is ordinary now It's ok this is ordinary now It's ok this is ordinary now All this fucked up shit is ordinary now I scream without a voice Dream that I have any choice What can I do now What can I do What can I do now I'm ordinary I'm ordinary I'm ordinary I'm ordinary
