I say I’m not like them
So therefore I am
I scroll through the scum
So therefore I am
The pastime makes me numb
It makes me feel dumb
I think I am dumb
Come stroll through the wasteland of society
You can fight through the crowds of inanity
See flashy billboards of insanity
Look at image after image of vanity
You’ll see poorly veiled self deprecation
Stage sets of fake lives
Fields of naïvety
Travel agency posters of vacation destinations
Black hole fun
Won’t you come and wash away the pain?
Lives indisposed and posed
Lives disguised in expensive masks
All the while the true nature is better
Their profiles make them lesser
Just be you
Just be happy
I think I’m happy
Oh make me over
Im all I wanna be
A walking study in humanology
Mindless cacophony
Ceaseless monotony
I think I am
Go think for yourself
Stop taking what’s on the shelf
Shut it off— leave it
Go out and live— explore your own mind
Enjoy your own amazing life of little great things
Allow medium to be your comfortable size
Let medium be your medium
If you would
Could— you?
