Dear 2025

by Ned Doon

on Fair Park (2018)

There's 8 billion of us and none of them matter
As far as I'm concerned, you're all dead when I die
This world just exists through my eye, sorry for announcing you'll die
But it's shitty we abide by such time, the fear of running out, so go to sleep, and say "goodbye."

Like you do every night, where were you before this?
Like you do every night

I'm 32, living in Texas
Not much of anyone, just like you
They've told me, I'm a few things, I don't know why
Perhaps to be kept busy, worried about a Capital I

I see, my existence plays out for me
Tell me what I will be, while believing that I am free
History tells me this is our prime, I'm lucky to be alive
It's the current year, 2025

Where we lie to our lovers to stay in love
Change behavior to be accepted
Accept authority over experience
Experience nothing because of what you've seen, on every god damn screen
