Transparency

Knuckle Puck

tell me everything you’re feeling as of late 
the things you’ve done with the friends you fake. 
as if anyone asked in the first place. 
where’s the sustenance in being ostentatious? 
your life is governed by news feeds and notifications 

and what better way to harbor pity 
than telling everyone who passed away 
and how much they meant to me 
like it’s a competition 
you should learn to keep to yourself 

and all i want is for everyone to be aware of 
their own transparency 
instead of practicing modesty 
you plaster your life on cell phone screens for all to see 
i guess you’ll never get it 
nothing’s sacred 

fed up with this generation of too much information 
there isn’t anything social about it 
because of the way you regurgitate 
your bullshit into cyberspace 
spreading ignorance like common plague 
i can’t stand it 
it’s pathetic 

and all i want is for everyone to be aware of 
their own transparency 
instead of practicing modesty 
you plaster your life on cell phone screens for all to see 
i guess you’ll never get it 
nothing’s sacred 

nothing's sacred.
