KEYBOARD CANNABILS

Another message at 2 AM

Another stranger thinks they know me

Funny how brave you get

When nobody knows your name

Is it something that I said?

Something written on my face?

Is it something that I wear

That makes you need to take up space?

You pick apart a photograph

Like you're searching for a crime

But every little thing you hate Was never yours to criticize

What did I ever do to you?

I'm just existing on your screen

You don't know the person That you're trying to make me be

Keyboard cannibals Feeding on somebody else's life Behind a little username You

sharpen every line

Keyboard cannibals Tell me,

what are you trying to prove?

You keep taking pieces from me Just to find something wrong with

you

Your profile picture's a cartoon

Your location says unknown

You type like you're invincible

But you're trembling on your own Every insult has a fingerprint

Even when you hide the hand You call me everything you hate

Then tell me I don't understand

You don't have to know my name To make yourself feel tall

You build yourself a throne online By watching other people fall

I used to read every word And let it live inside my

head I'd stare into the mirror And repeat everything you said But

you're just noise through a screen A voice that doesn't know me

And I don't have to disappear Just because you can't stand to

see me

Keyboard cannibals Still hiding underneath the blue You can keep your little

knives I know they're not the truth

Keyboard cannibals There's a thousand more like you You keep taking pieces

from the world 'Cause you don't know what else to do

Log off

Close the window

Let the silence fill the room
