So God damn over worked
Haven't balled or slept in days
The culture on surface
Innocent and childish
But the underbelly
Is a bubble to pop
Is a glass jar to fall
Off a table reaching for
The raising up ground
Japan physically differs
With colors, faces, temples
Separated from us
By thousands of miles
And twenty-eight hours
Physically nothing like ours
But underneath everything same
I am tired of the naive faces
I was hoping to escape fakes
Fakes seeking social likes
Fakes needing constant mics
To gain the center of attention
Social cues universal world wide
No matter if skin black, yellow, white
We all feel the damn same inside
Desperate to act socially just right
Afraid to show insides on the outside
Meet this guy nicknamed Frontal
By fakes friends for his blemished teeth
Yesterday his father took a fall
The concrete ground and his head meet
Sent him to hospital in middle of Fall
But the hospital won't fix his beast
They can fill him with their remedies
But no syringes stuck in arms fix shit
But no remedies save the alcoholic's kid
Only emotional healing will help
Not drugs off the pharmacy's shelf
So the kid begins to pop pills
In the hope to escape his ills
Hoping to die fast not painfully slow
Hoping his blood will stop its smooth flow
So go ahead make fun of Frontal
Cause his face looks like an animal
But know, you are destroying him
I just hope one day you pay for your sin
You love to put his soul in the trash bin
Elbow in his face on the swaying train
Laugh every time you wreck his brain
I don't need his language to see
That he is driven insane like me
