You conform to your surroundings.
Your behavior is confounding.
You hope to be unobtrusive.
You’re obtuse, I won’t forgive your
duplicity, complacency,
and your inability
to break free
of your dependency.
It’s a shame to see
such insincerity.
You’ll disparage anyone
if it will get you up a rung
on the ladder of acceptance,
regardless of consequences.
Things will never be resolved
if you refuse to absolve
yourself of the decadence
with which you have coalesced.
Your intentions are well known,
have no opinions of your own.
Afraid that you’ll be all alone,
just know that I do not condone
why in fear you live encased,
acceptance from peers is what you chase,
why you revere and you embrace
their insincere displays of grace.

Knockout debut from a Buffalo, New York-based hardcore band who like their riffs sick, their drums fast, and their choruses sticky-sweet. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 28, 2024
