For the Excluded 
For the Unloved
For the Excluded 
For the Unloved

They learned they must achieve
Something 
Not in their sights
They must achieve
Something
Not so right

Of

A fake persona
For something they do
Of a fake persona
That you cannot lose

But

Little did they know
Popularity was not love
But little did they know
Popularity was not soul
But little did they know
Popularity was not gold

It changes thoughts
It's a form of control
It changes thoughts
It's a form of control

For the Excluded, For the Unloved

Life
Turned upside down
Life
Shook
All around

Days
Stuck on this
Plastic
Phone

Days
Stuck on this
Plastic
Alone

Why do I
Let myself
Be controlled
Why do I
Let myself
Fear the unknown

Put my mind at ease
Like a puppet
To feed

Give me
Hope
Give me
Dreams
Give me
Joy
Give me
Feelings

Control
My life 
One-click
At a time

Control
My life 
One-click
At a time

Truth
What is real
The only thing
For sure
My gut
Feels weird
When this plastic 
Little thing
Begins to control my fear

Control
My life 
One-click
At a time

Don't let them
Make you feel guilty
Don't let them
Control your life
Don't let them
Make you hurt
Don't let them
Stay inside

Their choices, Not my problem
Their choices, Not my problem

They made their own bed
They made their own life
They have no control over you
They have no right

Their choices, Not my problem
Their choices, Not my problem

They made their own bed
They made their own life
They have no control over you
They have no right

Their choices, Not my problem
Their choices, Not my problem
Their choices, Not my problem

They'll eventually realize
It's all their fault
They'll eventually realize
They must halt

Their choices, Not my problem
Their choices, Not my problem

Their Choices, Not My Problem

If your uncle looked like an old 1980s country singer, Santa Claus, and an almond farmer all rolled into one, singing 1980s synthpop vibes, that would be me. Every now and then I mix in a little reggae, country, or rock too. Stay tuned for updates.

Just call me Mike, aka MDRJR.

PS: Do not forget to give yourself a chance.
