worthless

Is it workin'? Does that jewelry on your neck cure what’s beneath the surface?
Does it serve its purpose?
Is it workin'? Or did you finally find that it ain’t have the answers you was
searchin' for?
What will it take for you to see it’s worthless?
I write these verses, I watch the Earth descend in ruin
Amazed at how we let the Amazon burn, the fuck we doin?
Who needs the news? We got the Internet, we glued and tuned in
But if the result is us losin' ourselves, then tell me who wins? Who is
Willin' to disconnect to reconnect with intellect?
Reflect on the effects of mal intent and those infect-
-Ed, inspect the wreckage, do a damage assessment; troubleshoot
And reboot, then reconvene with new perspect-
-Ives, but we stuck we in our ways, spinnin' on stationary cycles
We like Milton over paper, bunch of stationary psychos
Let it all burn down, just so we could prove a point
To a stranger, through a screen: we in danger
Oh, it’s all worthless
It’s all worthless
Nothing’s perfect
Nothing’s worth it
It’s hard to be optimistic in this world we live in
Many times I take myself to the past; I often miss it
Back before my lids were lifted; when times were more simplistic
If I wasn’t artistic, I swear to God I’d go ballistic
It’s so many gray areas now, I’m tryna be better
Learn these lessons, though this life is like a class that won’t let up
A lot of people wanna change, who’d spare the dollar to help ‘em?
How can they grow from their mistakes, if nobody’ll let ‘em?
We so desperate to be right, cause look what happens when you wrong
Used to whisper ‘bout your failures, now they sing ‘em like a song
Ain’t nobody fact-checkin' cause it takes too long;
Just retweet somebody’s opinion and move along
Never pause nor rubberneck to see the way that it affects
Got everybody on the ledge, cause don’t nobody know who’s next
Paranoia on a global scale, it ain’t the way to live
Can only grip so long, before we slip from the cliff
Oh, it’s all worthless
It’s all worthless
Nothing’s perfect
Nothing’s worth it
This is for the weathered out, beaten down traveler
Weary from the years that’ve passed on the calendar
Most of the time, ya lost track of it; slipped through ya fingers
Too much focus on the past, let the memories linger
I know it feels like we been abandoned; Like we
Stranded on this planet, no evacuation plan in
Place for us to turn to; too much damage
Like the cuts too deep for us to patch and bandage. But the truth is that
We stronger than we realize, real eyes can see that the
Unknown is where the fear lies; that curiosity, is the
Key to the locks on the doors, that set us free
Better than anyone else, is what i don’t claim to be, I just
Speak, as a human being, seeing greener pastures
We all kings and queens that need to redeem their statures
It ain’t obscene, to believe in happily ever afters, but
To move the story forward have to read the chapters to the last words
