Single File Riot

it's funny when
things change
it's funny when things
aren't strange

we stumbled out into the midnight streets, and you leaned over and whispered to me, "this isn't happening." and I said..."it is."

it's a confusing time
when everything beautiful
must be tragic and rhyme

I used to see best friends holding hands like the world was going to end, but now the closest they get is a digital screen amulet and a little button called "send."

it's a trying generation
we're forced to deal with
hopeful approximations
where everything we say
is satire
where every day
we're just tired 

exhaustion runs deep
yet the only thing we can't do
is sleep
