What do you want to do?

What do you want to do
Who do you want to be
I’m trying to find out
Who me is
Who I am
Who am I?

Just close your eyes
Don’t shut them too tight
Be aware of your surroundings
You should see no light

Who are you
If the structures aren’t in sight
If we can’t see the world
In our clear black and white

Does conflict still exist
If we can’t perceive the fight
You may think they’re wrong
But they think they’re right

The next time you open your eyes
Try to question the lies
Can you hear the cries
Try to remove the disguise

If life is all relative
What’s your real size?

My world is over
After I die
We have to ignore certain things
We have to deny

It’s too bad that
You can try and try
but social norms
are hard to defy
I guess nobody
wants to be that guy

all alone,
outside the crowd
those actions
those feelings
are not allowed

If you are too loud
Everybody will think
You are too proud

Some think we’re selfish
And sometimes we are
Our sense of entitlement
Definitely reaches too far

With an ego too big
You see the world
Only through your eyes
Life is your prize
Ignorance can thrive

With every bump in the road
A problem can arise
But it’s ok
We can devise a disguise
We can believe a lie
We don’t need to know why

We get to make up
The rules we live by

We are so wise
We only see the surface
Do we care what underlies?

We see the world through our own lens

Our world is perceived
How do we deal with
All the stimuli
We have received?
Can true understanding
Be achieved?
Can this wonder ever
Be relieved?

This artificial world is given meaning
I’m born into the preconceived
Have I always been deceived?
It’s hard to know what to do
It’s hard to believe

But it’s just me in this body
This mind, this soul
This me
I didn’t choose to be here
But I am
And
Day after Day
Year after year
My life’s journey continues
I live on my frontier
Ever engulfed
by all this unneeded gear
I will expand my mind
I will always persevere

Signals and signs
Are never too clear
Can’t believe
Everything I hear
Current conditions
Can always appear severe
Are we in control?
Can we choose what we fear?

Would it Even Matter?

I wish I knew what you were thinking
I wish I knew what was going on in that mind

If I could just hear the voice inside your head
If I could just know what you’re feeling

Would it even matter?
Decisions are never made for one reason
There may not even be reason at all
Would it even matter?

We don’t know why we do the things we do
And we just stopped asking

We go along with the masses
We're tempted by the fleeting passions
And allow our emotions to dictate our actions

Accepting this life is hard to do
With all the hypocrisy in front of you
