It started in my television set, subtle evil, not quite a noose around my neck, just white lies and uncollared shirts
But I learned quickly, that's just the way the world is, nothing to be alarmed about
But now it's in my mind, it's in my family, I'm hurting people I've never met
It's spreading like a disease, down from my morals to my sleeves, consuming my dreams
Can't tell if it's in my head or on the news screen. My friends losing their minds or just a bad dream
Some people walk away from the ones they love. Some people never walk back, it's not fair
We slowly kill ourselves, and we don't even notice. We don't even care
And none of your friends come to your shows because they know it's not worth it, and it's sad to even watch you try anymore
I would feel a little better, if I would take my life and give it to you
But I know eventually, that I would snatch it back when you're not looking
It's hard to see that I'm a falling leaf, snuffed out by time and disease
The lonely least of these
