Shaking, fleeing responsibility

Like children being alone in the world

Moments fleeting across our attention like kindness, kindness

I love you but I don’t love myself

Nothing is broken, everything’s fine

Can’t escape the sensation of prickling electrodes in our spines

Shocking down to the toes and out into the grounded sea

I’m so tired, we’re sad and we’ll maybe be ok

Last night I met the straightest girls I ever knew

An overwhelming ruler and to them this is normal

My friend showed them his nipple ring and then watched them quietly freak out

Flailing desperately to save face

They ordered another beer

Nothing is broken everything works but nothing is normal

I just want to be alone

We all need and consume together

While watching the world go away

All things break apart but we can force HIM over a cliff of his own deceit

Love is just a greeting and a kindness

Why can’t he see it

Why can’t he see

His damage

The potential he wastes?

He’ll wipe the fucking world away

But someone is left with this language

I’m so afraid

We’re all gonna fucking die someday

Nothing is normal, does it even matter?

No room for pride here

Pride is unkind

And I can’t fucking escape
