Surveillance in progress
You’re acting, and we see
It’s unclear, yet you declare
It’s unknown, but y’know
Surveillance in progress
We pretend we’re not seen
It’s unclear, yet you declare
It’s unknown, but y’know
Compensate / Commiserate
Surveillance in progress
We’re living the archive
It’s unclear, yet you declare
It’s unknonw, but y’know
Compensate / Commiserate
Privacy
Decency
Complacency
And I can’t see
Let go, let go, let go

Find a- way - out loud
Shout about the past
Upside down at last
Find a- way - out loud

Stagnant living
Walk on sand
Treading softly
To meet your demands
I can’t believe it
Wasted years and years and years
I can’t get over
There’s still fear still fear still fear
No more surprises
Nothing is obscene
Cold facts and harsh realities
I can’t believe it
Wasted years and years and years
I can’t get over
There’s still fear still fear still fear
Load up on peace and love
Hate has always reigned above
I can’t believe it
Wasted years and years and years
I can’t get over
There’s still fear still fear still fear

Muddy Feet

Calm on rage
The common rage encapsulates
Colors fade, darkness with flickering light
Artificial, a sharp ached
Phosphorescent, still unpleasant
Down subway stairs, where no one cares
Oh wait, did you hear something?
Oh well it’s probably nothing
Lower than worrisome - I’ve had enough bleak
Fallen foliage stepped on by muddy feet
If only we could share empathy
The burden could fall on us all
Down subway stairs, where no one cares
Oh wait, did you hear something?
Oh well it’s probably nothing
Lower than worrisome - I’ve had enough bleak
Fallen foliage stepped on by muddy feet
There you go past the window
Oh wait, did you hear something?
Oh well it’s probably nothing
Lower than worrisome - I’ve had enough bleak
Fallen foliage stepped on by muddy feet

Can you tell?
Ironic or cliché
Does it sell?
Modern phrase
Literal garbage
Thieving, stealing
Content reeling
Wash, rinse, repeat
Mental wellness
How can one obtain this?
Abstain or realign
In the meantime
Indulge or amuse
Use use use
Obsess or regress
Stress stress
Mental wellness
How can one obtain this?
Abstain or realign
In the meantime
Rat or a trash bag
I feel the presence of both
Can’t tell the difference adapt or cope

Complain for mundane
Living in empty spaces
Can’t find the strength in the morning
Death glares down neighbors’ stairs
Bloated bargains – oh how I’ll pay for
Retrospective sin
Livability
Availability
Is this reality?
Con versus need
Null internal
Dull external
Average elation
Sordid routine
Try simplistic living
Fuel the loathing
Feed anxiety
Feel being here
Livability
Availability
Is this reality?
Con versus need
