Nickel

Nickel
Get this, like a gift at christmas
Tore my meniscus, chasing the misfit
That took my biscuit, and my box of Triscuits
Keep your distance, or pay god a visit !
This ridiculous, too materialistic
fee's hidden, for lives that we living
overseas imperialistic afflictions
while domestic autistics, go ballistic
People twisted, including this kid
I'm on a mission to validate, existence
Got persistence, like I was enlisted
To help the paralyzed, walk unassisted
Imperfect, like the soul’s surface
Absurd how the, angels turned merchants
Pushing pennies, I got em good and plenty
But inside piggy bank’s nearing empty
at a Bacardi party feeling complacent
All people wana do, is get wasted, (i dont blame em)
If you’re here, who’s steering the space ship?
Don’t fear, there's drugs to escape this
Feeling of being stuck, numb in our places
Every day's the same, blame, we misplace it
Anything to wash it, out and away
Only to face ourselves, at the end of the day
Chorus x2
I think I got a nickel In my shoe
But I found you, you must be tilted too
Lets pull together and make some change
And try to explain how things became strange
Found out how to be inflatable
Cause depressed me certainly's not relatable
Insatiable drive, seeking stimuli
I’m a protist, I know this, I will survive
Try and thrive without medication
That I give to self, on any occasion
When I feel like, times are a wasting
I jump off the train, well before my station
To show myself, something new
And expand my view, as I pass through
Cause Most people are, so damn narrow
Self centric, right down to, their bone marrow
A scarecrow, in plain clothes, named hope
You may fear and use him as a scapegoat
With him near, the crops are able to grow
so there’s always food on the table
Stopped smoking, started drinking
I got a demon, all I gotta do Is feed him
Every evening, don’t know what i’m seekin
But Know I’m alive because I’m bleedin
dissolved myself, into bits so small
I jacked out of the matrix in a phone call
Woke up and couldn’t believe my eyes
While I slept, the future materialized
All our lives, transcribed inside
The hive mind where, we came to reside
Beside each-other, one and the same
working, producing going insane!!
So many faces, all of them weathered
From reality, to which they’re tethered
eventualities, tend to concern me
I live in a world, where nothing’s concrete
Chorus x2
I’ve really got a nickel in my show
How did you find me? you must tilted too
Lets pull together and make some change
And try explain how things became strange
