Thing is we keep trying

Our whole life we're raging against dying

Being in the flow of living just to be

A whole world of love and greed

Circles surround us in emanation

Analogies of metaphors

Why do we keep score?

Priority and meaning are fabricated and demeaning

Make believe relieves us from reality

Extrapolated from intense faked puppetry

All I want is nothing

Free from everyone

Even me

Ideas bend to our will and then break us

Proof is inconvenient as we lie to society

Surprised when it's corrupted and reflects on us

Close my eyes as it comes over me

It's all just energy

inspirational
