Between the World and You
The dream tastes sweet
But when shoved into your mouth
It rots your teeth
With sugar-coated myths of
Love unconditional
From sinister, manipulative hands
That push your face down into the muck
Then ask you why your lungs are blocked
The dream, it taunts
From atop glass ceilings
And it haunts
Like ghosts wholly American
Inexorable spirits of the living
Who refuse real death
And thrive on your fear
When it's they who should be afraid
Of you, your anger, the greatest gift
You have against machines
Fabricating fantasies
To stalk you in your sleep
And take what they looted
From your history
So I hope you find the power
In your lungs to
Scream into their faces
And when the void never answers back
Don't let it swallow you into the Nothing
Because you are art at any volume
And you can drown out the white noise
Some dreams deserve to burn
Some dreams are made to die
But when shoved into your mouth
It rots your teeth
With sugar-coated myths of
Love unconditional
From sinister, manipulative hands
That push your face down into the muck
Then ask you why your lungs are blocked
The dream, it taunts
From atop glass ceilings
And it haunts
Like ghosts wholly American
Inexorable spirits of the living
Who refuse real death
And thrive on your fear
When it's they who should be afraid
Of you, your anger, the greatest gift
You have against machines
Fabricating fantasies
To stalk you in your sleep
And take what they looted
From your history
So I hope you find the power
In your lungs to
Scream into their faces
And when the void never answers back
Don't let it swallow you into the Nothing
Because you are art at any volume
And you can drown out the white noise
Some dreams deserve to burn
Some dreams are made to die
