Good, we’re too strong for this.
Yes we’re much brighter and tighter than so-and-so is.
They are such unwitting, witless performers
acting as if they don’t live in our fantasy land
man don’t you wish they would see how absurd this is?
Bring me a gold star and I’ll swallow the medicine
let’s not forget how dramatic this one has been
don’t want me ever to overreact again
make notes so that we can keep track of how wrong I’ve been.
Break out the stained plated boxes we like to pose in
let’s pretend glass can keep holding our secrets in
Yes let’s be sensible
logical
feasible
lets sweep up the shards of my broken unreasonable
pack them away in the boxes you found them in
stack them up higher this time so they’re taller than
all of the walls
Then we’ll be free of the misery – right?
we’re just products of ‘other’ and ‘not me’ and ‘not mine’ you see
let’s just put on our not guilty faces
and make up for all the time we spend pacing.
We’ll stand around innocent and soak up the glory
won’t I be so proud of how you’ll be so sorry?
Just walk with the walk that says you’re in no hurry
that way I’ll be happy and won’t have to worry.
Yes, don’t think about anything other than what you need
don’t be concerned about what anyone doesn’t see.
