All these scarred sheets in a scab riddled book
Scribbling out the pages where the scholars would look
As infraction, as a fraction of your claim, as a fraction of the sane
All scratched and flamed from the firecracker crown that you wear
All shiny and boldened and backwards, yet golden, yet patched up, yet sold into silence and secrecy
COME ON AND SET US ON FIRE
WE GOT A SPARK HALF-LIT
SO SET US ON FIRE
WE GOT A RIP HALF-STITCHED
Caused permutation, a sanction
A situation that's bracing for a parade of skies
Complicated, yet simple in its own design
Bubbling up the magma of the MAGA, let's make it all burn down again, sure.
But don't embrace the temptation of erasing the station of your own integrity.
Let's all be free.
Let's all perceive.
Let's all make sure we all can breathe.
