Li(V)es

I found myself
 3 years ago
 Didn't need meditation or
 Any kind of control
 As quick as I rose
 Sliding back into despondency yeah
 Nothing is permanent
 But change
 Do you visualise?
 Do you believe you'll make it right?
 Do you think you'll rise in spite of
 The great divide
 Or will you cower, cover your ears
 Detach until you disappear?
 This is modern life now
 And the stories they tell...
 You're in control
 Be your best friend
 Contentment is inside you
 It's not a place at the end
 When I am true
 To myself I find
 I find
 Life is my own design
 Our time on Earth is short
 They keep you working/drinking
 You're not thinking smart
 When you're only just surviving
 Question all; our lives, their lies
 They want you dumb and compromised
 This is modern life now
 And the stories they tell...
 Even with our eyes we see different waves of energy, different reality
 Everything around us is just interpretation
 Are you waiting for a revelation? For the summer? For a holiday?
 Or do you need to be told that death is on its way?
 And the stories they tell...
 We don't need the might of fear to bless us or forbid
 We know in ourselves whats good and whats destructive
 We don't need the threat of guilt to be good people
 If we can't think for ourselves, we can't live without help
 If we can't think for ourselves, we'll buy every story they sell
