Every dude from your high school you thought was a scumbag May have grew up with a mother that beat him into silence Everyone that you've known, all these people that you think you know What moments of tremendous pain could they have lived through to carry Gut-wrenching specificities Why are we so caught up in the orbits of ego Denying the lives of the people That we refuse to truly see As if this world made a promise to us that it wouldn't be ugly As if anything good ever came from denying the humanity The restlessness of suffering The obstinance of ego Forever colliding Forever destroying All you can really do See a mirror image of your own face on everyone around you
