EVERYBODY IS BUSY



Everybody is busy being someone else and not busy being their true selves I want to see you take that mask off, I want to see you naked and raw I want to see that side of you that no one ever saw before not even your best friend or mother let us hold each other and speak of those tears that hold us together.

Oh, come on let us strip down and in the last days of winter dance around for come spring and summer we are gonna care too much about what our bodies look like and what others may think honestly who gives a f*ck we are all ugly, and beautiful in our own strange way.

Let us take that fucking chip out of our head that they preprogrammed us with we are not damn robots rolling off their assembly line come on feel your feelings use your damn mind for other things rather than thinking and get off that sinking ship.

Everybody is too damn busy wearing that mask that they bought at the 5 and dime store, everybody is too busy being someone's whore, everybody is busy working that job they may hate to create what society tells them should have living to die and not dying to live
At the end who is the one who will forgive that sin that everyone does not know they are doing
