To ponder and ponder
About the very reason of existence
As if life is made to conquer
And vanquish all failure to its nonexistence
A brilliant brainless demonstration of bravado
Something to be brandished brashly
Racing to the top
The hands of time that cannot be stopped
Tick-Tock, Tick-Tocking away
Stealing second minute and day
Standing alone on trial
With nothing to show
Crying out to be let go
Swallowing the bitter denial
The hands of judgement wrap so tightly
A scene so unsightly
Suffocate, suffocate, little mouse
When will your commonsense rouse?
See, it's all there for you to behold
Just as you've been told
For you are nothing, nothing, nothing
Abide to those expectations ever crushing
See, it's easy, isn't it?
Reinvent yourself or be forgotten
This face is counterfeit
Underneath ravished and rotten
All eyes on you
Doused in darkness, make your debut
Time to justify your very being
Or would you prefer leaving
The world spins just as easily
So, surrender peacefully
You want to be set free, don't you?
Make yourself brand-new
Putrid hands are waiting
Oh, how irritating
With bloodied fingers, you cling
Maybe another time.
