It Can't Be Just Me

from It's A Beautiful Future by The Rebel Spell

/

lyrics

Glass eyes scan my skin and
I’d sever my spine just to not feel it anymore
when I look up I wanna see the sun
I should feel warm not sick to my stomach.
I’ve been dreaming about death
a death where the pain is gone
a death where the confusion
of the city can’t reach me
and most of all meters of soil
protect me from those hard eyes

How broken would I have to be
to feel alright watched this way
What is wrong with every one of you
that would ever think that this is ok?
It can’t be just me

I cover my face in public spaces
because my photograph is not yours to keep
Are masks and padding the way that we will dress
just to maintain anonymity?
I don’t remember what privacy was
and I know that it is something
today’s children will never understand
guardian drones will shape their minds

The streets are occupied by armies of bots
I’m not crazy just look around
Am I the only one
who doesn’t know where I’m going right now?
Stand up meet the gaze this is your life too.
