I am Miserable
Sitting in isolation
Working with arbitrary numbersMy life is a rounding error
I worked hard to achieve
Formerly driven and motivated
How did I become a necessary evil
Staring at a glowing screen
Now, everything I do is mind numbing
I have no desire to aspire
How can I move mountains
When it′s hard to lift a finger
I miss the days when we talked it out
With different points of view
Now you can't even tell a joke
Because the joke′s on you
Nobody gives permission
To live in uninspired times
This world is like a movie set
Filled with robots who can pirouette
Programmed to be downtrodden
In a world soon forgotten
Until then it's Lights, Camera, Action
Followed by knee-jerk reactions...
To arbitrary deadlines
Those vague dystopian time crimes
With participation trophies
For those with the worst neuroses
I'm a winner I can prove it
I got a ribbon for my smile
I got a trophy for participation
I got a medal for walking a mile
No one is a loser
As long as we follow the commands
Outlined by some god
At the dawn of man
Defamation nation
Celebrities on trial
Reality and truth are getting a divorce
Facts are in denial
What happened to meeting eye-to-eye
Golfing at the strip club
Happy hours with the team
Modern optics, there′s the rub.
I live in a cornucopia
Of Neo-Suburban absurdia
With soccer moms who drink all day
Of whom there are a plethora
We used to go to shopping malls
With unfettered glee and dollar bills
Now we barricade the doors
And overdose on Fentanyl
Uninspired to find passion
Discouraged to find truth
I′ve lost my faith in knowledge
Misinformed since my youth
Words don't mean a thing
What is my truth today?
No time to think about
The widespread, misinformed decay
Maybe someday i′ll fall in love
With a handsome avatar
Swept away on some virtual dance floor
And i'll love you as you are
