A.	There was gravel in her shoe and she took it off just to
get it 
She cries out to the world but she’s terrified so she
hides from it
The monotony of life has cast a bitter shadow
And she can’t find the sun

Sometimes she’ll forget what day it was
Because it’s been so much like yesterday
She’ll look out the window as each car goes by 
Wondering if they all want to die
Would they all want to die? Or are they numb to society and
living like zombies?

B.	Shelly… Dear Shelly… We care
Your antinarcissism won’t get you anywhere
Everyone is miserable, but I won’t ask you why when you
said
“If you’re afraid to die then why the fuck were you
born?”
We don’t know if Jesus died that day and Mary was probably
a whore

Catholic freaks don’t eat meat on Fridays 
It’s because they have to sacrifice something
But who cares anyway, they still get to eat chocolate on
Easter
And indulge their cravings
You want to get your ass kicked one day so you won’t
become a second zombie
You refuse to answer the phone, it’s pure evil
And there are only dazed mind controllers on the other side

Shelly… dear Shelly… we care
Spontaneous human combustion won’t get you anywhere
Shelly… dear Shelly… don’t run away just yet
One day you’ll be free, then you run out to the sea
See the reflection of the sun and realize
Beyond society… there is more
