Death of Recreation

Shut up and play,

Like I don’t participate in the world,

Like I’m just a trophy on the stage

Let you escape the pain,

While I carry it through the game

Shut up and sing,

Like that’s all my voice is good for,

Like my platform wasn’t engineered for this,

But I need to maintain appearances,

Prevent my fanbase from hearing it

Shut up and draw,

Like that’s my only stroke of genius,

Like my life stops at the canvas

Perish the thought your perception be damaged,

Better me than you, my manners are managed

Shut up and write,

Like my story isn’t as important,

As if my art is compromised

If you disagree that’s fine,

But how dare you voice your opinion while you silence mine

They prefer beauty from behind the glass

Point and laugh, like we’re monkeys dancing in a zoo

If you’re mad you can’t control us,

Then shut up and find something new
