Awareness

I can't see through every lie 
The only truth I know is dying
Isn't that a sad thing to say 

But anything is hard to believe 
When everything isn''t what it seems
what I used to know doesn't matter anymore

Actions speak louder than words 
but intentions are what rules this world 
but the intentions pay no attention to the world

There is one thing I wish to be 
it's very simple I want to be free, 
but I don't even know what that means 
I thought I did before

I can't deny what I see 
smiling faces made of misery 
bank statements gained from poverty, 
I see compliance instead of anarchy

What I'm saying isn't too surprising 
I know that people realize there just to scared to 
step outside their narrow mind  
they're poisoned they're paralyzed
