Was breathing a mistake?
Maybe I should hold my breath and hope for the best
Sown shut, locked down
Is the only way to get through this?
Just let everyone fly with the bullet
Difference equals disease
Difference leads to deadly
No one wants to change
But try and change me
Close the doors
Lock the windows
Shut out life
Shut out you
Light a match and let it burn
Kill the disease
Turned heads, closed eyes
Hear, See, and Speak no evil
What evil?
Let's have a laugh as we throw this gasoline
Before they get us
They'll grab their guns and locks
Let's let loose before we change
Fly with the bullet
Doors shut, mechanisms click
Fun while it lasted
Author notes
I've had writer's block for a while and I tried to get something on here. I hope this sounds good and gets some comments. Take the meaning of these lyrics and decide for yourself what they mean. In the meantime, just be yourself.

Oh. This is an interesting poem that you have penned here. It almost sounds to me like it's a political poem because off all the talk about change and differences and are candiates that are running from president. That's probably not what you meant when you wrote this but that's what you made me think of. I thought you did a good job of expressing yourself here.

"Is the only way to get through this?

That line is quite striking. Overall, I quite liked this one; subject matter, etc. Not bad at all (especially getting over writer's block....mine are always ATROCIOUS after a long period of no writing...) Great write!
