Sometimes I feel so alone that I become claustrophobic
I mean, I feel unattached to the people around me
It makes for an awkward silence that can last hours
I feel there is nothing about these meaningless
Conversations to bother
I'm not lonely, but I do feel distant
I feel like when I speak no one listens
Maybe they know I might slip out a truth or two
They call me sarcastic, dry, witty
Never honest
I think I come off as smug sometimes
It's because I'm breaking my face to look natural
I'm nervous when you sing into my light
And it crunches me to be a better man
I felt God today, I think
I rested another's hand on my shoulder
I was the only one within 21 miles
And before I drove to the edge of the earth
I noticed that the waves make it look a
little less flat
I turn a little faster sometimes
I'm always rushing to another fork
Then crave to not have decisions
Counterproductive and a little unsure
Mostly feeling unworthy to have known your name
I gush over my un doings
I place a little bit of pride
In being more than loser
I tried, therefore I am a failure
Somehow that's enough to keep me
Going for something more
Never giving into tunnels
Full of moss from prior falls
And I wonder just how much of my outbursts are secluded
In my imagination I have told everyone of you
I tend to seldom scratch those surfaces
I'm not the emotional forecaster I could be
I'm rolling over in this
Calling over my knowledge
That I know far less than anyone
But that I still know more than I should
I am an old soul feeling crowded
They slow me down with their fodder tongue
And I slow them down by trying to have more there
If there was ever a day without mental warfare
Now is the time to return
No more mindfucks
Society is polluted with 'one-uppers'
Fools
Trying to instigate a variety of tactics
To win over our thoughts
As though the warnings did not clearly
Show not to engage in such stupidity
Women cheating men
Men cheating women
Women cheating women
Men cheating men
Humanity cheating itself of advancement
And yet I'm still brought back to how meager I feel
As I have not changed a thing
And I won't get more than that name I cannot deserve
It's not a grievance, it's observation
Like all things
Reaction is key
