silent grey walls
compulsory facades
humanoid shades, confined shapes
step out of line loser
your referral; dwell in your basement
assembly line personality product placement
domesticated masculinity, virility subdued
fading alpha radiance barely shining
generic souls, beta-providing
shut up, just produce
take a stand, be a man?
the ad endorses the brand
so buy that goddamn brand
reckoned reality was more legit than this
suppose was I dreaming
woke in the middle of a busy street, screaming
it's a cold world, better follow the norm
or they got a straitjacket to keep you warm
self-acceptance is a thought crime, remember
"a raging fire becomes dying embers"
we didn't start it, let it expire
I am tired.
