There’s a middle age man he is combing his hair
Glares at the mirror for the youth that isn’t there
It escaped him like poison and he drank it like wine
He never new the consequences at the time
Do I know them…..Do I know?
So society’s poisoned by the phone and the web
Watch the people live their lives without leaving their beds
Just a spectacle for our entertainment
I start wishing there was more to life than just this
But what……What could be more than this?
Everything is ready at the click of a mouse
No one will speak not even in their own house
So they start to forget that they even know the sound
Of their voices when they say hey I love you
They’re lost in their muses
But they’re false and they’re proud
Of the things that they think show about them
But they really say nothing and I’m feeling quite sad
Don’t you know…. You could be so much more
I say hold up a fist to the flame in the sky
And block out the light that’s reaching for our eyes
Cause it would blind us….blind us.
Well I’ve stopped taking time out
To consider these thoughts
And that’s a lie just as true as
I like missing shots
I’m confused…..I’m lost…..Who I am?
We’ll I say hey try me on
Maybe we’ll be the best of friends
or pass through my life
Like a dream through my head
Let’s see if…if I can do this…
But all I have for the moment is a song to pass the time
A melody to keep my humming constant
I rhythm to set an example for these lungs
So I don’t give up and start falling fast asleep
A darkness so permanent that eventually I will greet
