Time I Had Some Time Alone

and I feel fine

Anyone else would have sidestepped the trap

You want to argue til I come undone

I tried to tell you, the whole world is flat

Like it or not, we revolve round the sun

Everyone's laughing til everyone cries

You don't understand the hate that you bring

You're breaking my heart with all of your lies

No one can tell you - you know everything

This one dimension is all that there is

No one can tell you the world is on fire

Can't be all that deep - the Earth is a disc

"Alternative facts?" - a deadly quagmire

I don't have time to consider your proof

Father forgive. They know not what they do.
