I won’t live to sate my hunger

I just live life for the wonder

But if all I’ll do is wander

I can’t take this any longer

Can I be the only one here?

Yeah, who else would hate the sun

For raping my night with lights

Just to kill my slumber?

I’m drowning in a world of obedience

Obsessing, pledging futile allegiance

Possessed with infantile grievance

Condemning any who dare repeal sense

I hate to see this exploitation

Of any who question their own migration

Who lives not yearning emancipation?

Why bathe your peers with adoration?

Why live content with that scowl?

Why live waiting for sundown?

Why live hoping for help with coping

With this joke that you yourself endow?

I’m worn-out like an ornament

And just live life for the moment

But if each moment is abhorrent

How shall I survive this torment?

I won’t live to sate my hunger

I just live life for the wonder

But if all I’ll do is wander

I can’t take this any longer

I can’t wait to lose my thunder

And just become another blunder

In this story full of wonderers

And hunters of our rudders

My flag’s down. What’s the rational

In bleeding myself for the fallible?

All that’s transactional is flammable

And leave ashes beaming like a carnival

Blinding riches fill our heads

To savour pleasures and disguise our dread

We fail to lament for those who’ve bled

For treasures in a life that’s long been dead

Don’t fear, I’m educated too

And a hazard for the ages like the rest of you

I was taught by the aged to adhere to rules

So I’m no fool; I’m a useful mule

I’m so tired of these faces surrounding me

They’re filled with glee just for all to see

It’s like horror to me; appeasing isn’t hard for me

And I despise knowing it’s a part of me

I won’t live to sate my hunger

I just live life for the wonder

But if all I’ll do is wander

I can’t take this any longer

Damn, it’s so hard to flee

This place where it’s so hard to breathe

With this hive starving out my arteries

In my dreams, it all burns down

And it’s like art to me
