What I Get

If I could stop overthinking 
and calm down when nothing happens
In order to be disgraced and move on
to not soon enough omit the quickly forgotten

If I could stop idealizing
and just give love purely and real
To actually be civilizing
so all can begin to really heal

Then I get a world of predators and cheats
among all individuals on every continent
With so many warring gods
there's no longer sight of the true odds

I get a sea of schooling fish
just as plain and fragile as I
Making the fatal mistake to wish
our love could be greater than the lie

I get new generations of apathy
where it's more fun to hate
Because there's no time for empathy
when the party is running late

I get to lose home every time I travel
since comfort is for those who conform
Beauty is now a tool for fake value
to maintain the disillusions of the norm

"I get to lose home every time I travel
