Mushroom'd dreams
Why do I scream hello
Windy days
Cold dark nights
Dispossession, inexpression
You're no longer august
A psimire may be great
But true value lies in wake
Shout your feelings
To a heartless world
Fight back
The sharks circle
They will take what they can
Unless you get there first
Sleepy smiles lie in wait
Waiting, as a chrysilis
(Explosion)
You're free
But you're no longer you
Changed by cruel voices
Inept observations magnified
You under the microscope
Yeah, the beetle
(welcome to seventeen)
We're all beetles here
We've only just begun
And the sun hasn't come
Five years of darkness
Then the dawn
(I can't wait)
Cotton lifts lightly
Take a breath
Look at the casualties
Of an unending war
Started since civilization
Encouraged by veterans
"Best years of your life"
Looking foreward
Then stark reality hits
Madness, anxiety, depression
Locked in your own cell
Happy birthday, baby
