Instinct
The first thing you did when you were born was take a deep breath of cold air and scream at the top of your lungs.
Put down the screen.
There is a whole world out there that will cut you and scrape you and bruise you.
The balance is immaculate-a line between pain and pleasure so fine
Learn to enjoy both
Enjoy everything
A starving man always sits down to a feast
Teeth are tools
Hands are tools
Eyes are tools
What does that make you?
You put yourself in a prison
With the things that you think will make you free
Look at you with all your toys lined up in a row
You will beat my head in with a stone when I try to play too
Would you like a million dollars?
Ten million?
How much money will it take to make you happy?
Drugs coffee cigarette opiates filling up the void
Piece by piece
Stay on the conveyor belt
How much more beautiful does the world becomeif you would only look closer
