Look at me as I look at you
See with the eyes you've had since youth
Convey with the lips pulled tight in a grin
That this is a face you'd like to see again
Sitting foreign in a prison
Envisioned
Only for you
We each have a mission
Positioned
Only for you
We see it
We reach
We touch
We teach
Fast paced
As is customary
Only lightly traced
Never permanently
It is finished.
Yes, as quickly as it has begun
It is finished.
We take our first breath
Just as we envision our last.
We've spent our only death
Only ever processing
What next?
Parasites.
We sit in these carcasses and we are
Parasites.
We stand in these ill-fitting shoes and they call us
Parasites.
These hosts we abuse, they know we are
Parasites-
So choose.
Stay or go.
Choose.
They all think they know what we'll
Choose.
A foreign smile in a foreign world
A foreign dress on a foreign girl
We're all of us foreigners just simply pretending
We're all of us feigning, facades they are straining
Remaining in place on our face
Is pretense.
So we choose.
We decide to stay.
We choose
To remain disarray.
The previous words have been an invitation.
Please join me in disassociation.
