Sitting inside a classroom
With mummified drive to learn
Scattered like the iron in my veins
I said the sky was wide but the answer was “blue”
I said the game was rigged, but the answer was “new”
So I slammed my mouth shut, or did they?
First of many half-compromises
Half on my side.
Cruel, enduring authority
Confined inside myself, who I am sealed.
REST
Load me up with lies, oh
Hearsay precisions
Fulfil your duty, and the awaited cultural reproduction
All books can be crushed
With knowledge only
Ignoring faces, pavement of limits and skewed morality.
School’s a drainer
All the rating
I won’t confine myself
From the silk, reeling
Guards and trainers
Overrated
As only pawns can serve
As a fool embedded
Drill that in my head
Discard me whole
Don’t make me stay too long
Despise contention
Sever what’s whole
I’ve already stayed too long
I see the vise you hold me into
See the mold you shove me in
Cut up the facts, cut up the facts, cut up the facts
To carve at your satisfaction
Drunkards for captain on History’s boat
Genocides on a whim, ludicrous fates
Lie-woven fog and honored quotes
So that we mistake the mask for the face
We are given one task
All else is redundant
Either you’re a good tool
Or noone gives a fuck
Maybe I’m abnormal
Maybe I should adapt
And let myself devolve
Maybe I should accept
And let my head be drained
Not ready for that loss
What will I lose, instead?
