It’s an aggressive apathy
Gently eating away at me

A heartfelt apology
Is so far beyond me

But don’t get me wrong
I feel like hell about it

But I don’t care enough
To put myself through it

The thing I feel worst about
Is how quietly I shout

When it comes to non-immediacy
I can only seem to care about me

But I’ve gotta say it honestly
And maybe not so guiltily

It’s never gonna be easy
But it’s always so easy to see

Under the sea,
Nobody can see me

I can sleep so safely
Freely sculpt my own ennui

The business of worrying
Is so tedious and boring

A light loathing and softly cringe
At the thought of ever crossing that bridge

Cuz I don’t care
No I don’t care

I wish I did
But not enough to care

Never helps to name the things
That always fail to pull my strings

Doesn’t help to name the few
That ever actually do

But I swear on the country I’m in
That I’m utterly genuine

When I say I’d like to care
That I’d love to pull out all of my hair

Over others’ distress
There is no ultimate test

Just a grim question
Do you care at all, more or less

No amount of confession
Can lift it from your chest

You’re just as jaded as the rest
No, it isn’t so
In fact I’m more so

As I refuse to digress
From my purposelessness

Under the sea,
Nobody can see me

I can sleep so safely
Freely sculpt my own ennui

The business of worrying
Is so tedious and boring

A light loathing and softly cringe
At the thought of ever crossing that bridge

Cuz I don’t care
No I don’t care

I wish I did
But not enough to care

Doesn’t mean I’ve got no heart
But doesn’t mean I’ve got no part in it

And it doesn’t mean I don’t get shocked
It just means my heart is blocked

But I refuse to lay blame
For my unremovable stain

But don’t get me wrong
I certainly feel a lot of stuff

I find it tough not to,
But when people say you’ve got to
Do something,
I say what is that?

And why are you
The gatekeeper to the holy match?
So all I gotta do is sign your petition,
Then I get into heaven,
That smacks of something else entirely
You polarize the picture misleadingly
And for that I never forgive
So I will not “like” your link,
I will not think about it when I sleep,
I will not dwell on it when I eat,
I will not ruminate in the shower,
I will not turn over in my head about who’s in power,
I will not obsess all day about the utterly avoidable delay
I will not think about who’s not had a bite to eat
Or who can’t sleep, or can’t stand on their own two feet,
I refuse to give in to bleeding hearts,
I was born without the parts to give two cents of mind
I take it back I openly lay blame
There’s no other way out,
I accidentally unraveled my knotted logic
I cannot live robotically,
There’s passion in everything,
Even apathy,
It’s aggressively eating away at me,
LOL, you’re so tongue in cheek,
ROTFL, you’re a stitch in me,
Please stop I can’t laugh anymore,
About the plight of the underpaid poor,
You perfectly pretend to be
The cold heart who wants to bleed
But can’t, because of the rampant, consumeristic, selfish solitude
Drilled in his head by a culture of marketing
And the biggest cultural innovation of his time
Allows him to live in a sense with people of a very different kind
But what about immediacy? And I don’t mean
Now, Now Now, Me, Me, Me
I mean those around me, the problems so close to me
They become distant, while far becomes close,
Is any of it real? Doesn’t have to be,
It’s all just a click away from delete
I wish I could delete myself sometimes
Sometimes I wish I could delete myself

Under the sea,
Nobody can see me

I can sleep so safely
Freely sculpt my own ennui

The business of worrying
Is so tedious and boring

A light loathing and softly cringe
At the thought of ever crossing that bridge

Cuz I don’t care
No I don’t care
