Equations

I never wanna be
 like they seem on TV
 they all just make us over
 into these shallow shells
 stumbling within the lines
 they have all drawn for me
 so little life feeding the notes
 regurgitate and write by rote
 we leave behind human creation
 now just ones and zeros
 now just equations
 ...
 mindless, endless, wasted days
 and here we stand with so much to say
 empty words nothing inside
 I fight alone, I try, I try to fight
 the generation of illusion
 ...
 I never wanna be
 these fools that I see
 they're painting by the numbers
 it's all they know to do
 please just set me free
 from the rules they make for me
 ...
 mindless, endless, wasted days
 and here we stand with so much to say
 empty words nothing inside
 I fight alone, I try, I try to fight
 the generation of illusion
 ...
 so little life feeding the notes
 regurgitate and write by rote
 ...
 mindless, endless, wasted days
 and here we stand with so much to say
 empty words nothing inside
 I fight alone, I try, I try to reach
 the generation of illusion
