Everybody is a liar.
The world is a stage afterall;
And we are the actors,
Playing stupid fools.
Be it puppets or masters
On strings of disasters.
They hold the script...
Yet, you have no lines-
Silence!
Now do the mime!
Don't cry,
You already know the moves!
Just follow the trends
Like the influencer told you.
Ignore the ringlight,
Strike a pose
Never mind where those views go.
Bring no friends.
Smile,
Don't let that filter slip.
It's all pretend.
Do as they say
You'll be fine
Just obey
If you raise your voice,
I erase yours.
Encore encore,
On the empty stage
Rewind...
Did you see that?
Deny deny, deny
Ignore what you see
Instead-
Tickets please!
Buy, buy, buy!
Put your snacks on credit
Hold the camera steady
It's just a parade;
Nothing too deep.
Don't worry...
I'm not mad at you dude...
Boohoo.

A Letter to the Firestarter
Dear Firestarter, We can all see you, we've been watching you since you began. In case you didn't know we were here before you and we will be here after. We witnessed your rise, your setbacks, your guilt and your lies. We witnessed you start the fire.
