Watch Me Sink

A breaking in spirit, a breaking in promise, a breaking in me
 How can I find the peace inside me of a world I can see
 Taking and taking all for ourselves, taking and taking
 And it's dragging me down, deeper and deeper
 Watch me sink like a stone into a sea of selfishness
 Where me is more and you is less
 The vanity, it's insanity
 We eat the shit that's fed to us
 We stomach it and we embellish it and we confuse our love with lust
 Can't we find another way?
 The way that goes against the grain
 Abstain
 The grain
 The ugliness, the licentiousness, the love that's just skin deep
 Please get me out before I become just a memory of what I used to be
 Get me the fuck out
 We're deaf and blind to our age's cry
 We refuse to fucking hear
 Not learning to grow, just losing the one I used to see in the fucking mirror
 Can't we find another way?
 The way that goes against the grain
 Abstain
 The grain
 The egoists, the narcissists, the waters we wade in
 Please get me out before I become just a memory of what I used to be
 Get me the fuck out
 "Of a world that's doing its best, nightand day, to make you (me) everybody else" - E. E. Cummings
 Please take me out of a world without any heart
 Take me out
 When they see my hope and then they rip it apart
 Take me out of a world we built to serve our selfish fucking selves
 Can you tell me where does love fit in?
 Remember what love is
