EVERYTHING IS FINE! (normal normal normal)
Really?
Is there nothing
Inside
Nothing to it
To you
There can be no light without a shadow
A wall without a crevice
A crack
In time the weather makes it so
Bugs and darker things and blows
Are you telling me
The walls of your tower
Are perfectly smooth?
Like they were from the time it was made
Skin of a baby
You turn blind to your own soul
In every soul
That goes through this life
Is rage and sorrow
There is nothing?
You want it to be
Sweep it out of view
Hire mercenaries
To keep us all
Far from your walls
So we do not see the cracks
So the claim remains true
Building a world of lies
Everything fine
Everything fine
The sun shines all night long
And spring runs through the year
Jeer
Not allowed
Not allowed to speak it
Lie
To speak at all
To break the head-splitting silence
Jeer
If anyone does
Why am I angry?
Because I do not know who I am
And neither do you
But still with every word or action
Is a denial
And I am not allowed
