The Faker

from Grasping At Straws by Ember After

about

I'll pretend to be part of your world
But always know
I am The Faker

lyrics

I need in concrete
I want in plastic
I dream in colors
None of which you know


Society demands
Docile thoughtless little drones
I’ll portray what they expect to see
Always know it’s not me

I’ll be The Faker
Pretend I share their world
I’ll be The Faker
Theirs is not my world

This homogeneity
Makes me sick inside
Everything glistens
Like lemmings packed in metal boxes

Always do what we’re told
Claw for scraps sell our soul
Cling to hate to fight despair
Soak in disgust to feel at all…

I’ll be The Faker
Pretend I share their world
I’ll be The Faker
Theirs is not my world

I reject their world
I reject their demands
I reject their drudgery
I will keep myself…

I’ll be The Faker…
