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…
