The Bet

We're overwhelmed, insignificant, we gamble ourselves, We're waiting for, well... anything that will help. To keep us all impressed and the fallen blessed even when depressed recall its all a test we're all upset when we've lost the bet we all digress when there's nothing left We're damaged and manage to barely understand it we're famished with anguish barley speak the language continue to be obsessed with how we're suppose to dress containing our interests conforming us to less... clinging to self-worth the whole time upon this earth continue to just work, no hopes for a rebirth. We've created our own chains with no power to ever change we've been sheltered from the strange blinded by our pain Yet we still remain. we can break out of these chains! Teach the world to change! we can build a better shelter that only keeps out rain. we can embrace the strange, we all remain the same, gambling in out brains... lets help us win the bet, lets help us win the game.
