Everyone Indeed

Everyone is up for something for the sake of who
Knows what that would be?
Everyone is longing for something exciting
An easy fix
Everyone picks up the pace
Everyone is in the race
In a way
Look at them and look at their faces
Ordinary men with plastic faces
Plastic faces

Everyone indeed
Everyone is wearing a mask
And giving a handshake
In the faceless dark

The wise man stays alone
He doesn’t give a damn
He doesn’t patronise
He doesn’t fake it
He’d rather be alone
Not mixing with the mob
He feels compassion when people get hurt
The weekly screen time report is quite low
The battery level is reaching a plateau
He feels like he is out on parole
But he did nothing wrong
He did nothing wrong
He is one in a million
And it sounds like a cliché
He’s not looking to please you
C’mon, that would sound way too demode’
Look at that miserable parade
Look at that miserable parade

Everyone indeed
Everyone is chasing sparks
Something fleeting and short lived
In the faceless dark

The echos in their heads
Of all those missing words
All has just been said
All has just been said
The echos in their heads
Can only make it worse
All of this will end
All of this will end
Everyone down the hole

Everyone indeed
Everyone is wearing a mask
And giving a handshake
In the faceless dark
