Cannot Function

cannot function
cannot function
cannot function
cannot function
time withers away
warped abandonment
caught leaving me astray
forgotten in time's decay
if the universe is ever-expanding
why do i feel so confined and alone?
compressed and sinking into the fabric
of space and time
shrouded in memories oh so divine
a nomad of time committing a thought crime
death forever knocking on my door
a message to the grim reaper,
spare a withered soul, i implore
thinking life gets easier as time goes on
is the biggest mistake one could ever make
with each passing day
social nicities become harder to fake
the weight of the veil
becoming heavier with each tale
mind, body, and spirit
neverending commodities for sale
the end justifies the means
prying me out of bed into incessant routine
grinding and forever churning
leaves one incessantly yearning
for a permanent vacation
wasting away in unfathomable desolation
i want no part of this commodification
worth measured by means of production
incessantly nagging and gnawing
i can barely function
i can barely function
i can barely function
i cannot function
we cannot function at this particular junction
matter over mind
total conjunction
with late capitalism's treacherous profit dungeon
cannot function
cannot function
cannot function
cannot function
