Stand Apart

You've been asked to
come home tonight, to
speak your heart out;
to vent off those vibes,
which make you want to
silently snuggle into yourself.

Come, and establish yourself now.
Come, and sing out your soul.
Stand, apart, for what you know.
Stand, despite the urgent show.

You've been asked to
sing your song,
with hopes that you
will sing along
in the gullies of shame,
in the heart of blame.

Be there, when we ask you;
be there, where we want you,
be ready to dance to
our commercial tunes.

You've been asked today
to get naked, and to smile.
You've been asked to pay
the cost of cameras.
But the mirror isn't as
dark as it seems.

Come, and establish yourself now.
Come, and sing out your soul.
Stand, apart, for what you know.
Stand, despite the urgent show.
