Unaware
You act like you’re unaware
Mindless and impervious
To feeling my agony
And even your insanity
Why is it impossible?
Implausible, though I want to
Get up out of bed and say:
“Today I’m gonna rock the world”
It isn’t always feasible
To keep your assets freeze-able,
And usable, and easy to
Pull out from your back pocket
Glue sticking us together though
I don’t want it anymore
Freedom is the seedling
I’ve been needing to grow
Straight up into a better life
One in which you’re not hitting me
Then saying sorry ‘cause you’re my mommy
I don’t really wanna be
Living in fear,
Tiptoeing ‘round your highness,
You make threats, I make threats,
Mine to call CPS
You act like you’re unaware
Mindless and impervious
To feeling my agony
And even your insanity
You see, you made this,
I haven’t ever done s***
You think you know the full truth
But this man is innocent
When faced with opposition
And stuck in my condition on a mission
To finally understand
What makes my body turn around,
Whirl around and strike out at
The first thing that makes a sound
I’m a clown
Living in a world that’s turned upside-down
By all your expectations
I need some gratification
This bifurcation of my thoughts is
Getting me nowhere closer
To fixing this dualism
I cannot repair this schism
I don’t wanna have to choose
Mom or dad, you both lose
You act like you’re unaware
Mindless and impervious
To feeling my agony
And even your insanity
You try to help me keep on living
Maybe living isn’t giving
Me enough release,
Cuts on my wrist, what do they mean?
Now deep down though it’s a mess
In my heart, in my head filled with lead
I have hope, I believe
I’m not dead yet, instead
I can hear my friends shouting:
“Keep on going, you’re the best”
And with the force that they exert
The pain, it starts not to hurt
Even all these damn mistreatments
Cannot mess with my beat, hence
I am unstoppable
Yes, I am unstoppable
You act like you’re unaware
Mindless and impervious
To feeling my agony
And even your insanity
