Endless Banality

Listen carefully nothing is being said
Just the endless banality of conversation
Wake up smell the napalm
Life is a constant war zone
Static screeching through your brain

No tears what’s the use
It’s a waste of precious water
In the darkness it gets lonely
Becomes hard to breathe
Lost among a sea of strangers

Wheels grind you down
You’re a missing heartbeat
The runt of the litter
Heading along a dead end street
No room to turn back

Even in the silence
The noise never fades away
The flame is growing cold
Tired eyes going blind
Nothing beautiful to see
