Manufactured

Manufactured
Fake
Fake it till you make it
how many people are
fake it till you make it

Is their genuine
in this life of mine
seeing where you fit
place
you draw the line

our identity
is who we be
how we stand in the world
who do i see

where's our place
where's our place in time?
looking and observing
but I'm just not seeing
the spot where we being

the mark we leave on this earth
so what

Zoom out and you'll see
a world that is no longer flat
but rounded perfectly
into a sphere of land and sea
and we live in a real world
but it's all just make believe
how these beings and objects
bounce and affect me

Influence
everything is a stimuli
arousal, aggression
can it all be seen?
can we observe the forces?
no no way
no possibility
but we try
and we try
to draw lines in a soup
a simpler world
you just never knew

if you zoom out too far
you can see how far we've come
you can see our mark
and all that we've done

we're just one cell
amoebas in an array
that changed
and became today

But our level
our scope
is at whatever level we want it to be
how can we relate
inter-personality
interacting and changing
wasting but always conserving
mass and energy

open, shut

closed
or are we open
hoping that something greater
is coming
so we run and we run
and we work and we work
doing small things in this overwhelming world
demanding
sacrifice is the only way
little and little,
etc.
what can these all mean
but we live in our mind
and my world is the world
because I just can't see
and I'm stuck to only knowing what I believe
Beliefs of what i've been told
brainwashed but just not knowing
beliefs of a society
leading us the wrong way
but we can't see
because we live in our experience
what else can there be
gotta see it to believe
so sad that it's true
you can tell
and you can listen
but you'll never really know
how it felt
in that moment,
in this place,
in that time
this time of mine
this time in my mind
conditions are mostly controlled
we only know what we see and we're told

norms of a crazy society
in a world with many scars
scars of evolution
so rapid we can't see
or so long you just don't know

cause we live in a moment
we live in our mind
merely, in a world
of infinite

limits
limited
stuck

living in our moment
moving towards the unknown
only thing coming is the future
my future in this world
my future in my mind

seeing where i fit
perceiving
my being and
how it all connects
i don't know
i don't know
i don't know

but we search
and we search
because we don't know
how we're going to get to a place
that you don't even know

so you have to believe
imagine, images
glimpses into our future
believe the future will be bright
believe my future will be bright

lights on the spot
spotlight is your life
living in this spot

this situation
where we defined what's real
just one man among many
defining what's real
in this artificial world

manufactured
material, plastic

this life is fantastic
