conscience

Its dangerous to believe in the illusion That is cast by your ego and altered by the masses You buy the clothes and drive the cars You sip the drink you fuck the girl But in all this  Where are you? When did you lose sight of your dreams When did you stop learning about yourself and where is your happiness Not the alcohol induced smile of consumed ignorance  But A moment of genuine gratitude of life Society has lost its heart, too afraid to feel again So they masquerade as monsters But i know these beasts well And they also bleed when wounded The stains will wash away  but the metallic scent lingers
