Placate, Sedate, Eradicate

Load the burden across my shoulders.
Pour the effluent on thick.

Placate, sedate, eradicate.
Am I worthy to carry the weight ?

Wage a war
on my prone feelings,
anaesthetised and numb.

Placate, sedate, eradicate.
Strangely calm
when I should be enraged.

Placate, sedate.
Placate, sedate.
Eradicate.

Don't befriend
the silver screen,
as lons as others face firing lines.
Recline, relax
take it in your stride,
be the voyeur.

Tamed by rabid entertainers.
Engrossed in real life hell.

Placate, sedate, eradicate.
Only observing - I'm exempt.
