You thought you were special
In your arrogance
In that inflated caring
You had no idea you live in this box where the impulses stop
in my neural compartment that smiles and says you are so very important
And who is worse in this game of pretend caring?
And who is better at the bullshit?
You or me or the sunshine that fakes our existence
You are another lyric
You are sugar and nonsense
You are yesterday's panties
And I spin with my heart in this cage around, around, around
the dervish dances
And I can't keep you safe
or make you pretty
or take care of your children.
