lyrics

WE ARE NOT

You are not garbage, girl. You melt the mold which they made to cast you. You are not garbage, girl. The judge falls down and drifts past you. You are not garbage, girl. Their words are bankrupt phonetics. You are not garbage girl. You step, and disrupt genetics.

I am not garbage girl. I’m character, not achievements. They’ll never like me ever. They scowl in whirlpool bereavement. Don’t let them sway your mind. I’ve no time to read my assignment. I am not garbage girl. My chassis needs no alignment. This is a shining world. No vampire dares to approach me. And if there is no moon or twilight, well then blind men will lead me. And blessed are the poor, for they alone will know the creator. You are not garbage, girl. You’re as balanced as the equator.

We are not.

They are not garbage girl. They fight just like we are fighting. And from their birth to death they vanish as fast as lightning. They are not garbage girl, just lost in pain and delusion. And if they knew the essence of you they’d offer to join in collusion. They are not garbage, rather, beach glass eroded by fortune. They sling their arrows out of fear gone unhindered by caution. They are not garbage girl. They view the valley like we do. But mountains have countless paths to the peak and they don’t arrive there like we do.

And we are not.
