got a plastic heart
and silicon soul
i'd share them with the world
to let em know
i'm as fake as it gets
generation internet
another competitor
just trying to be the next
big meme
greed's taken its hold on me
my soul's diseased
my heart's lost its beat
but it's beating on and on and on and off
ebbing and flowing
through the dark
that surrounds me
on my night in the city
the hipster kids are out
tonight
trying to get high
off their meaningless lives
their cigarettes are burning holes in
the sky
but they don't give a fuck because one day
they'll all die
self-awareness
only gets you so far
before you become aware
it brings internal war
so sit back
try to relax
roll one up
or hit the dabbing wax and cack
and in the morning
sip your coffee
try some philosophy
until that shit gets boring
and light your cigarette
your holy wed til death
drag into into your heart
until your lung is as dark
