Dissimulation
When was the last time you let yourself breathe?
Did you sink beneath the surface?
In this modern, purposeless society
Did you see the dissimulation?
Look outwards
Never inwards
Let your god be in the sky
Let your passions be connected
To sprout and slowly die
Did you let yourself breathe today?
For the realness to wash in
Those strange, suppressed feelings
That never breaks out of the skin.
Did you feel before you understood?
Let that be a start.
This world is as much yours
As mine
But yours only- is your heart.
Did you sink beneath the surface?
In this modern, purposeless society
Did you see the dissimulation?
Look outwards
Never inwards
Let your god be in the sky
Let your passions be connected
To sprout and slowly die
Did you let yourself breathe today?
For the realness to wash in
Those strange, suppressed feelings
That never breaks out of the skin.
Did you feel before you understood?
Let that be a start.
This world is as much yours
As mine
But yours only- is your heart.
