Since when were reflections one sided
I try to piece it together
But my thoughts remain divided
How can perceptions exist simultaneously
When we only voice our opinions to convince others to agree
Who are we to define reality
Aside from what we see on tv
Accepting the submission
That comes without permission
When we buy into the picture
Sticking our key in the ignition
Too bad no one told us this ride was automatic
We try to listen for directions but can't hear beyond the static
That comes between our thoughts and actions
Creating security
False satisfaction
Still we claim individuality
Yet we would eagerly trade it for mortality
Death can wait
As we compress our emotions
Concentrate
We eagerly drink from society's potion
Unaware it's only a placebo
The effect is the same
As long as we don't know
