I’m sorry, I was barely listening
I was barely holding it together
While I stare between the spacin’ in your front teeth

Relative to what, it seems to go on infinitely
The universe you can’t see
The different versions of me

Of varying degrees, achieving different dreams
And never starting
Am I barreling through the darkness or stuck in it?

I wonder where I fit in
On the spectrum of my outcomes
I had a space like yours once, but sadly couldn’t face it

I fixed it up with braces
I made my parents pay a couple thousand dollars
Just to look like every other child

A perfect little smile made uniform by metal
A bond we share together
An anxious little trademark

I’m sorry, maybe I’m just lucky
Maybe if the TSA could screen intrusive thoughts
Then I’d get caught up in security
While emptying a water bottle
Make a judgement call, in all the likelihood
That this apparent psycho wants to kill us

Tell us did you really
Really want to open up the hatch and let out
All the frightened passengers? Of course not

I am barely evil, just a dumbass with a palette
So painfully unbalanced
With no filter above me

Well isn’t life so lovely?
Isn’t life so wonderful without the burden
Of our placing trust in value systems?

Tell me, did I miss something requiring me to stay here?
A permanent vacation
I’ll give up in a good way
