Sloth

We drag ourselves out of bed every day Brush our teeth and hair Put on the best face Embarrassed by the boss Not early? Then you're late Disappointed teacher Angry classmates Back home, time to scroll away And get shit on for every selfie you take Every point you make Every word you say Wanna escape? Somewhere far away

You stared at my avocado toast Won't leave me alone I took a bite and swallowed Another dose of your ego

Silently, silently The words steep Violently, violently Sink into me

'Cause everyone wants to be a judge They'll never admit that you're enough Pretend there's no one around but yourself See? In the mirror There's a sloth With an awkward blackened smile It's fine you can't love yourself But can't you love a sloth?

So the other day I was on YouTube Listening to a song I really like Though usually I don't look that far A comment stood out to me It was a 10-year-old Having suicidal thoughts And the guy below was like "Same, I'm 12" And the whole thing made me extremely sad I thought How long would the future last?

Rest in peace Memento mori This shall be the end Of our friendship Relationship Ship, ship, shit, ship

Silently, silently The words steep Violently, violently Sink into me

I find others tiring to be around Am I doomed to be alone? I find myself difficult to love Though I gotta say I don't hate it this way

Isn't it more comfortable to let yourself go Than forming your physique to their critique Can't you hear the cries Coming from the mirror There's a sloth With an awkward blackened smile It's fine you can't love yourself But can't you love a sloth?
