Human Dissatisfaction
no matter where we are
everything is so damn far
our hearts yearn for something more
while everything we are given is disquised by a whore
it starts when we're young and so alive
only to have our parents turn everything into a dive
authority disiplinary doesn't end there
only now blue is the color they wear
certain things are supposed to give us a lift
whether it's from a bottle or blunt, it never quite fits
just take a little more, that's all we need
but eventually we turn to something with a little more speed
it's the tingle we get when a hand runs down our side
it's the exhileration we feel when there's nothing left to hide
we surrender ourselves to the utmost satisfaction
to a feeling they say will release all your tension
the lights finally come back on and we're all alone
stripped of everything we once were, no where is home
left feeling alone and hollow
our hearts ache for we have nothing left to follow
realization sets in and it doesn't sit well
for our entire lives we have been under a spell
we never have and never will be fully satisfied
the only thing left to look forward to is the day we die.
