A family with six kids Squeezed into the world's tiniest house They had a dog it starved to death They couldn't afford to feed it The second youngest girl made a name for herself Developed a comparatively substantial amount of wealth The rest remained in poverty engaged in recurring battles with Problematic drug use and disturbing thought patterns But I try to avoid thinkin' about those type of things But I can't help but think about those types of things A man in his mid-30's was found dead the other day Not long after he was heard making the claim That he'd had a stroke of insight and there was only one way That he would ever be leaving this cunt of a place His daughter was unborn at the time But she continues to ask What did daddy's voice sound like and Why won't you tell me how he died? But I try to avoid thinkin' about those type of things But I can't help but think about those types of things

Chaos 04:27
I used to be the change I wanted to see Now I sit back and watch the chaos unfold around me I'm questioning if it's wisdom emerging Or if it is a state of helplessness that I've been learning Am I losing my shit or is this the path to enlightenment I have learned to much to live in blissful ignorance I have not learnt enough to change anything I used to be the change I wanted to see Dreamed myself a character a purpose naively Once I saw the world's size I changed everything I once believed Now I sit back and watch to preserve my sanity Am I losing my shit or is this the path to enlightenment I have learned to much to live in blissful ignorance I have not learnt enough to change anything Questioning everything that I believe Witnessing the unstable world ending

If we could maybe we would earth ourselves out There is too much electricity that rushes through us We have been bound by the walls they built around our feet And the pressure it builds upon our brains Causing such a strain they will label us insane I wish we hadda studied how to survive when everything else dies 'Cause now we're on our own and we don't know anything So I am gonna wait until I get older To travel the world and learn some things To put the skills I've been acquiring into something that is interesting To understand the universe and how it is that things must work So I can decrease all the doubts I ever had I am gonna wait until I get older, I am gonna wait until I get older I am gonna wait until I get older and probably die before I do anything The whites of my eyes have turned yellow My skin has melted to its bones From standing still for so long
