Let me talk straight and apply some clarity
I realize you like complication and chaos
Your thought process is of a recently un-caged animal
Being young and open minded are typically good
Without the right application it is self destructive

Why do you continue to sedate your life
You thirst for something real and genuine
Yet you set your lens to blur
Quenching with useless suppression

Why desire nothing tangible, just illusions
A life full of double sided mirrors
Your favorite trick is disappearing
Magic hurts,remember the matches?

There is so much life you could give to this world
Why be an old unopened wine, selfish and closed
Your storm could bring air to failing lungs
Your flood would give water to the thirsty
Your beauty can shine life into a dying soul

When you talk people listen, so what are you saying
Why persist on a foundation of mud and sand
Putting so much effort in slipping and falling
Learn to stand and fight instead of falter
Want something permanent? Pour some concrete
