Human
In a Distracted and Lost Generation
To they that loathe their dreams to be below the stars
Speak to your soul and It will show you what you are
Pinch your cheek while you see the world’s grandest scheme
Finally realize that you grow with what you believe
Everything around you is exalted
The world has thought your thoughts
People have conquered your dreams
But who are you?
You are between the thought and the idea
Never seeking a step to engage
Wondering in the glory of those before
Entitling your mind to worldly things
The beauty of the world’s extremes
Bears you a resentful longing
Coated by a precious plated knowing
That this is it
What is life if we aren’t great?
The world tells us that we aren’t mistakes
Only if we are special
Kindling the man’s torch eternal flame
This is the original sin created by humanity
That we abandon what it means to be human
Destroying our own lives
To discover what it means to be alive
But if you believe
Accepting all that you lack
Embracing the mediocrity the world says is bad
Your choices can still be reprieved
