Lost Within the Machine

Hey you, looking at your screen, Lost within the machine Do you see them? Hey you, always on the move, Always have something to prove, Do you see them? Hey you, forget all the lies we've been told Let's Rise above and no longer be controlled. Hey you, clueless just like me Always longing to be free, Will we get there? Hey you, with your mind always racing Caught inside your seriousness Do you love this life? Hey you, don't we all just want the world to change? Look into yourself, leave this culture trap And don't let it derange you. Though this is only temporary. We overthink it all And Take it to seriously. No matter what we do It seems we're not so free. While the rules get drilled into your brain. Hey you, staring at your reflection Caught in the endless self inspection Have your found your purpose? Hey you, deep within the stress With life turning into such a mess Can you see you shouldn't worry? Hey you, let's come together and help our world suffer less In oneness we thrive, separate we melt into our distress.
