Our lives in rewind
Under a spell
Can't change the outcome
It's hotter than hell
For some its rebellion, acting like hellions
Control, the illusion
A perfect confusion
Will tear us apart

Dreams are like missiles
Shooting off stars that only seem real when we're sleeping
Otherwise, hope is a joke
Just a word someone told us to believe in
I don't quite make the cut for a cookie cutter mind
The nonsense turns us blind to the truth
It merely worsens and no one grows
The seal of approval succumbs us in our youth
Yet, it's love that swears up and down, she can't lie.
And yet, it's love that will also divide
Put a thorn in the flower of time
Forgery is our demise

The camera is on,
But this ain't supposed to be the Truman show
Democracy is expedient
We're all taught to be obedient
To cover up the lies
That demonstrate equality
An imaginary truth
Clinging to the ruin
That is one part social media
And the world's exposed like a tragic play  written by Shakespeare

I won't end this here

But like men in the woods
Running from fear, chasing their frustration
Over unfulfilled potential
Is detrimental to the truth that we can't see with refills of pills over music's healing
Life is gravity bound
The expectation far outweighs the truth
I pour this wisdom
From the hollow holes in my heart
