tha' tune

miles away
or minutes away
it doesn't seem to matter
anymore

contagious apathy
and social decay
not really sure why
we've all been waiting today

the hurts of the mind
the steady pangs of guilt
if only the side effects
didn't go to the hilt

seeking to understand
looking for answers
need to rely on more than
just contemporaries.

checking in
or checking out
is it ever wrong
to want to belong

breathing in
breathing out
at least hum the tune
 if you can't sing along
