Everything for nothing 

as if your desires were driven 
by someone else 
and you were hidden 
from yourself 

and the scripts written 
by an obvious hack 
and you were just supposed to 
deposit the check 

but you trade everything for nothing 
without looking back 
because you’d rather be sleeping 
with yourself  

no matter the publicity 
and organic hype 
you’d rather be listening 
to an obscure type 

people convincing 
about the latest thing 
they’re missing everything 
that makes you sing 

trading everything for nothing 
just to feel free 
is there something else 
you wanted to feel?
