Starboard Cardboard

Every single cent they send to ping inside the tin
Reviving memories of plenty empty bellies caving in
And pain begins
So reminiscent of a blade upon the skin
The veil's thin between the one's who wrote the hymnals
And the one's who sing the hymns
So take my limbs in aid of the afflicted
And take my eyes to see how far we've drifted
Awake we swim
Each made uniquely gifted
Forsake these lies
Our scars have contradicted

If home is really where the fuckin heart is
Why we leave 150 million heartless
Hardest part is to find out where the start is
In constant flux it sucks no luck
Drug to the crux of darkness
Raise a scrappy sail
Starboard cardboard
Maze this nasty gale
Starboard cardboard
Phase is flap or fail
Starboard cardboard
Blaze a captain's trail
Starboard cardboard

We share a boat called comatose
With hope it floats
No rodeo
Hella high in the nest of crows
Wave rogue but no overdose
Missing message in a bottle
Spin SOS into stereo
Crank it up drop Jericho
There we go
Shared drank overflows

1 in 3 of our children is food insecure
1 outta 122 humans displaced by war
Persecution disillusion, I can't take no more
Honestly a slave is just the same as a prisoner
That felony charge for weed leave you on the street
Every need to feed
No heat to retreat
Ain't nobody help but wish godspeed
And this supposed to be the fuckin land of the free
Obviously it's a much more complicated issue
But if you continue to create a snowy scene
Folks will always build an igloo
It's our natural mode
Unilateral node between no one will ever miss you
And the urge to say fuck it with courage
We're all just glitter in this big glue
Oh what a mess
Where's the happiness
No winners in this game
Alert the press
Copse habeas
See sinners avert the blame
You'll never guess who's emptiness
Beginners about to aim
Who's under more stress
Officer nastiness or the kid who's life you claim

If home is really where the fuckin heart is
Why we leave 150 million heartless
Hardest part is to find out where the start is
In constant flux it sucks no luck
Drug to the crux of darkness
Raise a scrappy sail
Starboard cardboard
Maze this nasty gale
Starboard cardboard
Phase is flap or fail
Starboard cardboard
Blaze a captain's trail
Starboard cardboard
Raise a scrappy sail
Starboard cardboard
Maze this nasty gale
Starboard cardboard
Phase is flap or fail
Starboard cardboard
Blaze a captain's trail
Starboard cardboard

Blessed by my privilege
My village saved me from the edge
Best mess unknown
Had no home but not alone
Quest far from over yet
Get out there busking don't you fret
Rest for wicked quickly fixed and mixing tricks for shits and kicks
One's ability to maintain stability
Is difficult when detained for disability
Or ones flagrant lack of proper facility
Racial disparity high probability
Fuck your white fragility
Fuck your ableism, classist, fascist, chauvinism
Fuck your television
Capital too good at hypnotism
Mechanism is nepotism
No representing ordinary organisms
Euphemism for how we're living
Fuck the system we were given
Honestly don't see a better time than now
Opportunity to turn top dogs to puppy chow
The 1 percent can only own the wealth that we allow
Stock a bully market full of lead
Now that's a holy cow

Make a wish upon a starboard dream
One day all will illuminate with harbored beam
Work together for the bullseye like a dartboard team
Make moves more concrete than a cardboard theme
Shelter, health care, clean water, and food
These are basic human needs so as not to be doomed
Safety and security
I've come to conclude
At least a look upon the eyes n human faith is renewed
