The Basics
How do you think that way?
Not owning a thought in your head
Like a parrot, repeat what other’s said
Believing in lies
Worried if you don’t, the spotlight dies
Body made of magazine pages
You’re paper mache
Your life is cliche
Your words hold no depth
Nothing is real but your breath
Singing pop songs
You might live long
But you’ve never been alive
Staring off at the sky
It must get so lonely not knowing yourself
Blaming all your problems on your mental health
Believing prescriptions can save you
It’s time to get a clue
Stuck on a thought like glue
Thinking “oh they just don’t care”
But they do care
I care
But I will only do so much
Only stay stay so long
Until I leave
I have to take care of me
I will hold your misery
Try to hold mine
I know it’s sand
Don’t let it slip through your hands
This is not a one way street
This is not a game to beat
This is the basics
Simple interaction
Ask questions for reactions
I want to be your friend
But there is not a thought in your head
That is concerned about what I said
