Submissions — Week 1 (Theme: Resolutions)

Who are all these people?
Why are they so loud?
Never felt so lonely 
In the middle of this crowd

And why are you so angry?
Why are you so proud?
And how can we get back to a place
Where we all know the Earth is round?

Take me away
I cannot stay
Another day
Not one more day


Where is my home?
Leave me alone


What can I say
It’s such a shame
Day by day
Day after day

Take me away
I cannot stay
Another day
Not one more day

Lyrics:
For the last year I've lived in No Man's Land.
Struggled to reconcile everyday life with the musings of the brain.
Conflicting realities each side of the eyeballs.
And then I realised...

My own company is toxic.
Let me breathe the air I will forget.
Let me breathe inside my head.

This is not a resolution,
Maybe more a revolution.
Cancel all evaluation
I'm focusing on evolution.
Last year came and last year left,
Spent itself on devolution.
Unhealthy dose of devaluation,
Some would say of infatuation with me,
With the girl inside this skin- she's like a disease.
Really wish she'd quit bothering me.

Because my own company is toxic.
Let me breathe the air I will forget.
Let me breathe inside my head.

Help me God to find the Trojan
Protect myself from incoming invasion.
I never thought they would find a reason
But now they've gone and brought the whole battalion.
Don't want money and don't want fame,
Just want you to run my brain.
Root out the devil inside-
Chase her from the places she hides in me.
I want to be a light that shines eternally.
I'm screaming I want you, take me!

My own company is toxic.
Let me breathe the air I will forget.
Let me breathe inside my head.
