We preached our creed with every breath we took,
So how’s that for a bold, subversive style?
We wear suits with that assassin look,
Dress like a princess but not a damsel
Distressed. We inscribe our skin with ink and
Metal like every body’s a book of
Blood, like by living we’re making art hand-
In-hand, like acts of rebellion are love.
We preach with the certainty of zealots,
Confident that we know the future, know
How to plot a moral arc, develop
A better world, put on a better show.
We moved our bodies like a symphony,
Every night spent beating back entropy.

I really feel like this is an anthem for the youth. It’s boldly honest.

High praise! I think there’s a part of me that’s always going to have the mindset of a pissed off 17 year old. ; )

As a pissed off almost 17 year old, it’s good to know that not everyone completely loses their connect with teenage rebellion 🙂
