institutionalize success, just like it's a disease. a disease to not want to give in. marginalize my mind, teach me to tell myself that i'm just fine floating along,
dead in the water.
there's an illusion to move forward, an illusion to safety, an illusion to being the western heroes in the hollywood-hit movie. so i march to the beat of a standardized test, i drill my brain until it's oil-less. just to sit at home, in my room, breathless. sit at home alone.
so i pace these high school halls, with all the colors on the wall, but whose occupants are just as mindless as the mannequins in the mall.
