Everyone Everywhere All at Once

today I feel so betrayed
not just by anyone
but everyone
everywhere
all at once

hold me close
my mind's just not with it
tell me it's a bad dream
you're the only one I can trust
wish I knew
what it is I'm not getting

such a shame
I have so much love to give
but now I'm in survival mode
wondering what's gonna happen to me
and my friends and family
with such cold responses
it fills me with rage
if I have to live in hell
you damn right
I'm gonna crack a smile
when they realize they are too

sorry, I know you don't need to hear it
you want to see me happy
but today it's hard to hold the tears back
guess the older you get the more bitter
seeing things for what they are
really kills the facade
all that liberty, freedom, unity
is fucking bullshit

damn, America is lonely
when you refuse to be lobotomized
