They kept us away from safety
Boarded us up from our youth
from the rotted wood and rusty chains
and flowers just barely in bloom
gave way to metal skeletons
tried to tell us they're safe
lifeless and unimaginative
i'd rather swing into the grave
find a flaw examine it
wrap your mind entranced with it
my critical analysis is breaking me
down I am sick
Of thinking; end mental atrophy
eviscerate all aware in me
I'm uncomfortable so please empty my skull
of this death creeping
take a stab at me
I am emotionless
just the tide ebbing; oceans fist
my only wish
Is some fucking peace and let
my goddamn mind be quiet
