My vessel has been anchored, attacked, and conquered 
Leaving the pieces shattered and somber 
Stranded within a dynamic society 
My lifeless bones still dance with gaiety 
 
 
Misguided, unrequited, i have lost my light 
And here i lie undecided
 if sinking is a reward of being silent 
Lost in a sea composed of 
stringless, seamless puppets 
I'm reluctant, broken, cracked and sewed in 
Posed and told how to blend within 
The flawless flaws of retrospective laws 
Oppress what others call a 
“Suitable demographic” 
 
 
My vessel has been anchored, attacked, and conquered 
Leaving the pieces shattered and somber 
Stranded within a dynamic society 
My lifeless bones still dance with gaiety 
 
 
Attach the wires and deem yourself my master 
Superiority begets a systematic wrath of 
Powerless demons with a potent strategy 
Demand my steps to guide you into the perfect victory
Media-- social media socializing the roles like ghouls of anesthesia  
Taking the control, then providing a hole of grief, anger, less goals and lost souls. 
 
 
My vessel has been anchored, attacked, and conquered 
Leaving the pieces shattered and somber 
Stranded within a dynamic society 
My lifeless bones still dance with gaiety
