cellophane

[izzymcgizzy]

open the box on your birthday
unwrap the cellophane
and reveal the eyes
that have been concealed
underneath the styrofoam
speak into the microphone
a little louder now, so that us in the rear
can hear
that you keep steering us the wrong way
dont act like you dont know what i say
you know damn well what im talkin about
so open up your mouth, like a big mouth trout
let my sentences rush out of my mouth into a filter
all you got to say is filler
you cant prove my point in a sentence or two
you need to write a page or two
every year we get the flue
pass it around and share it, but dont declare it
it was you who knew what was inside
and now you turn a blind eye
are you gonna turn a deaf ear
to what you dont want to hear?
you cant even BEGIN to comprehend
so contort your body and bend
out of the way of the truth
because it will bite you and leave a tooth
inside of the flesh and make a scar
as you drive away in your million dollar sports car
to the store you're headed
to find the dough for the bread
because you remembered what your mamma said
money makes the world go round
so listen to the sound
of the cellophane
feed and live off the pain
in the eyes that have been concealed
but no one is fully healed
under the styrophome
so speak up into the microphone
so us in the rear
can turn a deaf ear
to what we dont want to hear
