It seems to me that everyday We spend it running from something Running from nightmares rather than chasing dreams Desperately trying to find someone or something That can turn us away from this hideous race Where is everybody? It seems as if they live their lives in isolation Surrounded by their perfectly manicured lawns And their extravagant cars All these tragic lost souls trapped by their own greed We contain the seed of our own destruction Always running, rarely chasing Where nothing is true and everything seems limited This seductive dream of perfection is chasing us all The nightmare of not being exceptional We would **** our way to perfection Or at least society's perfection

An Interconnecting Isolation
It seems to me that everyday We spend it running from something Running from nightmares rather than chasing dreams Desperately trying to find someone or something That can turn us away from this hideous race Where is everybody? It seems as if they live their lives in isolation Surrounded by their perfectly manicured lawns And their extravagant cars All these tragic lost souls trapped by their own greed We contain the seed of our own destruction Always running, rarely chasing Where nothing is true and everything seems limited This seductive dream of perfection is chasing us all The nightmare of not being exceptional We would **** our way to perfection Or at least society's perfection
