Care

Care
Everything is oh
Well, whatever
Every time I go
I can't sever
The blasé nonchalance
Embedded in my head
I was given a chance
But I'd rather lay in bed
You see I'm not lonely
And I don't get people
I'm always the only
One to see through the sheeple
I don't see the point in
Going through the motions and
Acting like the world isn't caving
And my heart isn't shrinking
With every single breath
And with every person's death
I just can't seem to
Care
But
The truth in the rut
Is
What it is
And
What it is
Is
All I want
Is to be cured
All I want
Is to give a shit
All I want is to care
All I want is to care
All I want is to care

I really like the way the 3rd stanza reads down in irrational and yet perfectly understandable statements. This really amplifies a troubled mind to me, and is skillfully done.
A frustrating, and yet entirely accurate read. Thank you.
