[Concrete]

silent grey walls
surrounding compulsory facades
abstracted humanoid shades, confined shapes
step out of line loser
your referral; dwell in your basement
with that assembly line personality
whatever product placement
domesticated masculinity, virility subdued
fading alpha radiance barely shining
a generic soul, beta-providing
shut up, just produce
take a stand, be a man?
the ad endorses the brand
so buy that goddamn brand
reckoned reality was more legit than this
took for granted I wasn't dreaming
woke up in the middle of a busy street, screaming
it's a cold world, you better follow the norm
or they got a straitjacket to keep you warm
introspection is a thought crime, remember
quote - a raging fire becomes dying embers
we didn't start it, let it expire
now, I am tired
just pretending to be deep, you know
whatever I do I keeps it pseudo
