initial public offering

start out thinking, then gone in the blink of an eye
paths to a past you en-statued for all of time
everything’s exactly how it was
nothing’s gonna change just because
always growing, a knowing and stable climb
disappearing, a permanent state of mind
everything’s exactly how it was
nothing’s gonna change just because
the temperature's stagnant
there aren't any bad men
no wires and no release
an endless horizon with no signs of stopping
and nothing's gonna bother me
not on sinking ground in a burial shroud
no mask to hide our perfect teeth
our initial public offering complete
