I just don't know what it is you want to see
I'm becoming convinced its just about a fantasy
Writings of romance and of worlds that could never be
Discarding a healthy dose of reality

Yes yes, I know, this realm of the real is what we live and breathe
And yes of course it's all too easy to get up and leave
But I know in my heart that the system was sent to eternally deceive
And we all are affected in our own way by the grotesque we perceive

I too would love to frolic in the summer sun,
Through fields of dreams I would run
But my sights are fixed on what we have become
And how to survive as it all becomes slowly undone

As a global entity, a universal race, how are we to succeed?
If upon each other we continue to feed
Into the misty haze of the future, our history does bleed
And Earth shall reclaim , when our time on this planet we do exceed

Drifting on fragments of fractured reason
On a tangent trajectory cruising an insatiable instability

Sanctioned sunrise with its surreal surprise
Escapism now justification for the fool who invested, entrusted their truth to a bunch a wolves

Malfunction has entered the realms of mathematics, it has been force fed multiplication

So apparent, ambience has absconded, the Parthenon has perished, the Coliseum has collapsed,

Sanctuary, a penitentiary, high walls of glass shards,
Imprisoned, individuality, no way past these guards,

Prosperity without profit, punished and ridiculed,
The desire to abstain and refrain from normality, its fire is fueled

Black holes in our black souls
The apparent dictation of darkness has demands
Brush strokes thicken as anger and depression merge on the sea of prosperity
From so much gain there runs a path of two car crash societies
The more we sing dance and indulge in our delights, then so many more shall wait outside in the pouring rain, sodden in defeat, rusting with age,
Monolithic silence fills our empty worthless chambers, electronic obesity feeds our deformed dimensions, our cold fragile hearts, grafted to the  glaciers,,
Black holes in our black souls
Charred embers drench the walls
Suffocation came about as toxins breathed became the diet to provide to sustain
We evolved but evolution has left us behind, and in its fiery tail we scrape an existence, only its a disturbance,
White noise wisdom surrounds , played to unwanting ears in unfamiliar sounds,
Black holes in our black souls, crazy freaks with their hands on the controls, and all the while , we sit dribbling, with a strange smile

Kicking and screaming
void of dreaming
into this world
I was tied and hurled

It was horrible and cold
I stood bold
a dark and meaningless day
and I have grown in a strange way

A witness to the prohibition
with sour ambitions
travelling pillar to post
wondering if I am my own host

With no options but survival
you can excel amidst the unfruitful
planning for death
counting every last breath

Lost inside a dysfunctional touch
it hurts so much
this existence of animosity
a belief in an atrocity

Life is banned
no reason to understand
a sea of sand
the harvest of the ******

So busy saving the planet that we have overlooked our own salvation

With plans in motion we try to turn the tides of the ocean

So distant we are from our unifying solution

To keep us on the tracks of our evolution

We save icebergs , animals and trees

We stand by and watch as we do to each other what we please

We take and squander so much to satisfy a variety of tastes

With so little thought as how to replace

What you want, and what you get,
haven't managed to come together yet,
there's crossed wires, there's misinterpretation,
a mass of misguided expectation

What you get falls short of acceptance,
brings on an obsession with reluctance,
searching and fighting for the golden prize,
the one you stare at with clouded eyes

What you want has regressed
all that's left has never impressed,
you came, you saw, and walked straight out
nothing there really to write him about

To find a way to, perfectly ,,
think with feet fixed terra firmly
where days simply blend
and your mind doesn't twist and bend
no daft excuses with eyes glazed
awaken and be blindly amazed

What you want and what you get,
some of us haven't figured it out yet,
want not for much
and surprise shall become your greatest friend,
want just for wants sake
and you shall wait until the want for an end
