The world's buzzing
everyone's hyped up on their corporate coffee
working jobs they hate to buy things they don't need
all pushing forward
one holds back
they call him brilliant
but they don't know why
"the artist paints his soul on canvas"
how magnificent he is
what a rare mind
but they don't know
what he doesn't want them to know
he gave up on being special long ago
