Dispassionate Dissident (2010)


I used to feel like part of the human race,
Now it feels as if I merely wear the same face.
What goes on inside, what makes me tick,
Makes me wonder if I am defective or maybe sick
I feel like a broken automaton trying to perform
The intricate motions of the mundane, the norm
I thought I knew, thought I understood,
But now I feel no kinship, no brotherhood

How did I become so detached, so isolated?
What led me to become so disinterested, so jaded?
Have I been driven here by solitude and loneliness?
Can I be healed by a companion, a sweet caress?

I dare not hope, I dare not ponder,
That there exists in this world such a wonder,
For should it ever come to pass
That I believe, and it proves to be a blunder
My world will shatter like broken glass
And my soul will be ripped asunder.
