I love life in all its forms I break free of social norms Back in the day of the dorms I lived with my head in my phone Nobody was home Blind to reality Stuck in virtuality A slave to impulses that came from without Trapped in a cave during famine and drought I’d look at the sky and I’d scream and I’d shout Asking why, never understanding That the silence was the answer I am but a tiny dancer In the ballet of the stars The great atomic shuffle The cosmic rainbow truffle Showed me how little we are Showed my how to fly to mars How to view life from afar But closer than ever Showed me that I am my own Mount Everest I could strive to be the most Whateverest The most sarcastic, the cleverest But instead I decided to care To give death my best death stare Flew into the depths of the death star Found there was nothing to find So I reclaimed the dark parts of my mind I set it free Open for you and me Allowed it to simply be My mind is like a liquid It will take any shape that it fits in I no longer force it I let it course, let it flow Let it go where it wants to go Some answers we may never know So we might as well enjoy the show
