When is enough enough?
What doesn't kill you just makes you tough?

I agree fifty percent

Sometimes I wish for a simple life in a tent




Creative financing brings worlds to shambles

Dead presidents kill the earth and destroys animals

I really want to bring a child into the world

I don't find this one suitable for my little boy or girl




Now humans are defined by a chip or stamp

Watching computers replace humans makes my heart cramp

Confidence of our race is shattered and they're hopeless

They want to be heard, but don't feel important enough to carry their voices.




They don't maintain

They post selfies looking vein

Online diaries of millions visible to millions

Then get mad cause it's available for internet villains




Go to a movie

The scene starts to get groovy

Because this theater doesn't have the commercial reminder

Someones cell phone screen lights up like fire




Cell phones are security blankets

They're our binkies

Our dolls

God forbid your different and don't answer all calls

You can't not answer your phone

It's okay to be patient and busy,

I'll call when I get home.




Working 365 a year

Not worth it unless your interests are sincere

Years go by,

You'll wonder why

Why you never stopped

The money drop never stopped.




It's easy to stay

Easy to keep a routine

Easy to do the same thing day by day

I'm sorry to ruin your little parade

At some point, you'll have to awake

There'll be too much at stake

If you choose to avoid it you'll die

In those last seconds, you'll wonder why
