In silence, we watch shadows pass
they shape our thoughts and feed the farce
Moulding lives to fit the lies
that see us strive, conform and die
And scared of what we do not know
we do not move or seek to go
But idle in their well known forms
find safety in such practised norms
There is no need to speculate
the shadows teach us fear and hate
Breed small world views and selfish thoughts
dispense with troubling shoulds and oughts
It matters not what's right or wrong
so long as we all nod along
While voices preach invented truths
to justify each new abuse
As newborn Gods, those few rich men
close liberty's gate and lock the pen
Embrace what once seemed quite absurd
they are the path, we are the herd
In barless cages, through blinkered eyes
accepting corporate sponsored rise
The missing light upon that wall
...an absence which now stains us all

When will I learn, to start living for me?
How do I become all that I've ever wanted to be?
Where will I finally, draw that line,
and stop pretending that everything's just fine?
Why is it so hard letting go?
To accept your just somebody, that I used to know.
I got too lost, I forgot to love myself.
Now I'm living, half alive in this hell.
This isn't my destiny, this tiny barless cell.
If you ever cared at all, it's very hard to tell.
Anytime I try to talk to you, you only shut down or yell.
Now I have to choose to put me first,
No matter how much it will hurt.
All the while I've done all I know how to do,
You've been too busy doing you.
I guess what I've always heard is true,
You cant keep loving someone who doesn't love you.
