PLACEBO
If everyone was the center of the world
We would pull ourselves apart
If everyone was holy
If everyone was sacred
Who would we run to?
And who would want to pray to us?
I shall please myself anyway I can
If life is an illusion anyway, what’s the harm?
If your attention is a placebo
It would be the sweetest distraction
I will run from what ails me
And crawl back into the warmth
Of the bubble that I call my world
If everyone was the center of the world
We could keep the rest to ourselves
We could walk the quiet beaches
We could walk for miles
We would never ever have to run
You are the center
Yes, you make the world
You make my world so big
