Contract


So you want to be a pop star?
Take this white powder,
You need to fit in.
Pull yourself closer
To death's orbit.
Only then,
Can you truly sing
This is is how it works 
For you. 
I promise it's not dissolute

That's what they tell you
To sell yourself,
To live undead. 
Let the vulture feast.
But fame is now yours
To enjoy
While you're strangled 
By a contract
You never signed

  • Apathy

    Apathy, never hatred
    I, myself was born with apathy 
    Deaf to the conflict that surrounded me
    Although it had eaten at everything I saw.


    But as I touched the hands and hearts of my family
    I had forgotten apathy 
  • The Dreamer's Wheel


    Humanity has cried for it to stop
    Yet no spear or sword could halt the mop
    That clears away color and good faith
    But does not care to dismantle hate

    Time is not a perfect circle
    But rather a square or line at best
