In Gratitude

This portrayal
Of a fading landscape
We took the news like medicine
Impatient for it all to go numb
So entertained
It’s not what they say… it’s how
Be sure to laugh at all their jokes
Yet another falling domino
Honestly
I’ve grown tired of listening
When all our words will turn to ash
Blanketing the mountain overpass
If history
Has ever taught us anything
We’re constantly bombarded with
Complimentary insults on the house
Go take a breather
We’re evaporating in this heat
It’s a classic way to blow off steam
Keep building up on your mystique
You never were all that unique
So self-contained
Shielding off all the dead weight
An oddity that’s on display
Strangeness is a thing to celebrate
What you need
Is a safer place to bleed
Then no one will answer your cries
When you cannot look them in the eye
Go take a breather
We’re evaporating in this heat
It’s a classic way to blow off steam
Keep building up on your mystique
You never were all that unique
