i’m not apathetic,
just done listening to yr side of things
take up space,
get in the way of change.
and every day it’s just the same shit
repackaged in a different way.
yr “edgy” jokes
aren’t original
it’s not “punk”
if it upholds the status quo.
friends are there for each other,
so i’ll be there to call you out.
we both know you can help it,
so why can’t you just be compassionate?
silence what makes you uncomfortable,
used to only what you can control.
yr controversial opinions
are just regurgitated bigotries
it’s not provocative;
you just uphold the status quo.

end "ironic" displays of sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc. just because you understand something is wrong doesn't mean you have a free pass to do it. yr either with us or yr not.

disconnected, fallen out of touch
i focus on the elusive, not seeing much.
memories come and memories fade
forced isolation is wedged in the way.
erase sincere, take yr name out of it.
your progress kills,
so break nature down for it
can’t respect what was here to start with
reach out refused.
invent a game, invent the rules
make it up so yr sure to lose
make it up so you can’t connect
without false pretense and something to bet.
erase sincere, take yr name out of it
yr progress kills,
so break nature down for it
can’t respect what works for most of us
reach out refused.
what do you get when you put together
impossible standards and bullshit?
we operate just to survive the day
can’t stand my surroundings for being this way.
yr gonna lose.

this is about how competition/capitalist mentality/etc is bullshit. we've made everything a game, and in the process we've destroyed the environment and each other. when folks try to speak out against this all, it can be hard for them to find solidarity. support each other. end the game, don't hold yrself and the people around you to impossible standards, and make human connection. nothing else is real.
