Social Cripple

Come stay with us,
On this side of the apocalypse.
All you have to do,
Is leap across the rips.
All you have to do,
Is believe in yourself.

Jokingly,
He begins to despair.
Joyfully,
His emotions begin to flare.
Admittedly,
He has a weakness.

They climb.
They climb together.
They fall.
They catch one another.
On a united front,
We stand.

Caught in the wave's undertow.
Caught in the wind's strong blow.
Stuck in a realistic world.
Stuck in a materialistic whirl.
Driven to madness.
Driven by sadness.

Come stay with us,
On this side of the apocalypse.
Believe in yourself,
Let faith hang on your lips.
Believe in yourself,
Hold onto your convictions.
