Everybody Smiles in Photographs

And if we judged the world on Facebook and Instagram

I guess the world would be a happy place

And if we judge the world on FOX news and the New York Times

I guess the world wouldn't be so great, a disgrace

And if we judged the world on photographs

Everybody is smiling

And if we judge the world on the holocaust

Everybody is dying

And if we judged the world on Twitter and TMZ

Everybody is f*cking crazy

And if we judged the world and 

we just looked at you and me

I guess the world is crazy

And if we judged the world by looking in the mirror

I guess we wouldn't be able to take the sadness

And if we judged the world on Harvard and Penn

Everybody is using drugs, and 

just putting too much pressure on themselves

And if we judged the world by you and me

I guess the world is irrational

And if we judged the world by alcoholics and potheads
I guess everybody just indulges

And if we judged the world on Einstein and Schrodinger

I guess the world doesn't even exist

And if we judged the world just looking at the roses

Then everything would be fine and dandy

And if we judged the world on all the strangers

I guess we'd smile and take their candy

And if we judged the world on all the homeless people

I guess we'd cry ourselves to sleep

And if we judged the world on all the soldiers
I guess we'd think most people have discipline

And if we judge the world on Rock and Roll
I guess we'd think everybody takes everything for granted

But if we just stopped judging the world

and looked at ourselves in the mirror

and we looked into the eyes of our children

and we believed the world can be a better place tomorrow.

If we just believed

If we had faith in our fellow man

but no, we judge the world based off of MTV, 

the real world, road rules, rappers, athletes

we're just so busy judging

so busy placing blame

too bad lady liberty is blind

I guess i'm so f*cked up that I forgot

or too young to realize

cause if we just looked at all the parties and 

all the balloons and all the people

what would we even see

if we just looked at ourselves in the mirror

and stopped acting as if

would we realize

that the biggest joke

the biggest joke is on me

if we just stopped for a second

and we closed our eyes

and we tried to comprehend

could we?

we couldn't

we can never understand

the horror

the tragedy

the sadness

the holocausts that take place everyday

but what do i know

you're busy judging me

and I'm busy putting too much pressure on myself

just putting too much pressure on themselves

right because that's what we like to

just put all this pressure on ourselves

like diamonds

but we're like diamonds in the sky

but what do i know

you're busy judging me

and i'm busy trying to change the world

when i should just be worrying about myself

who knows

maybe god knows

maybe god can tell me why

maybe one day he'll tell me why

but one day i'll be gone

one day you'll be gone

but the world

well who knows

maybe the world will still be turning

maybe the music will still be playing

who knows

i asked an angel in my dream

and she just stared back at me

poof 

she's gone

i guess it's like that

nobody will ever understand

life is what you make of it

life is what you choose to be

life is whatever you want it to be

if you want life to be a bitch

then get high everyday

pretend like Jesus did it

who cares

but if you want to make the most of it

or you want to make the worst of it

it doesn't matter to me

or so I say

i like to think

it should only matter to you

and nobody will ever understand me

but i never told you to understand

i just want you to realize that 

everybody smiles in pictures

so don't judge the world by 

facebook and instagram

twitter and tweets

judge the world by the scars and the regrets

the scars and the regrets

because life is one big mistake

well not really but...

so make the most of it while you're still here

imagine a world with no mirrors

imagine a world with no photographs

would you like the reflection staring back at you?

would you like it

would you love it

would you put no one above you

i stopped asking the world for love

because its a cold world

with cold wars

world war 1, world war 2

1,2,3

revolutions everyday

but we just keep on keeping on

we just perpetuate the past

perpetuate the future

pretend like life's a present

preparing for the future

picking meticulously

trying to pick out the patterns

that have some meaning

that have something in them

all these objects that surround

all these places that i go

all these people that i see

it's not even people

it's just faces

it's just eyes

just eyes

staring back at me

rarely

just eyes

rolling away

rolling in the distance

rolling in the deep

rolling eyes

wasting my time

but time you enjoy wasting

well that's not wasted time

right

they say you gotta know when to hold em

you gotta know when to fold em

you gotta know when to take them for a ride

but what kind of ride is this

a drive by

the way i live my life

one moment at a time

one second

one instant

life's not filled with a book of faces

and instagrams

instantaneous reactions

instantaneous solutions

in an instant we expect the world

in a 140 characters we expect

tweets and twitters

something truly profound

but the world is round

and i lost touch right?

i'm floating somewhere off the ground

but i feel so grounded

like a circuit

like a system

like something you would never understand

life is filled with sadness

life is filled with pain

life is filled with the bitter

so you can understand the better

Cause if we judged the world on Facebook and Instagram

I guess the world would be a happy place

but the world isn't a happy place

blind optimism can only take you so far

in the world of the blind

we think the one eyed man is king

nah it's worse than that

cause in my world

the world is blind

and the blind man is king

oh man 

i stopped living life

looking for jewels and royals

cause im not impressed

i get upset

not depressed

as i watch the world rewind and regress

but i digress as i often do

because if we judged the world on facebook and instagram

then the world wouldn't make much sense

because everybody smiles in photos and photographs

but the world is so complex

it's so much more than graphics on a screen

so much more than windows and lions and linux

the world is so complex

but we think it's so simple

and its a complex problem trying to simplify things 

no matter if they are simple or complex

but i digress as i often do

cause if we judged the world on facebook and instagram

well you know everybody smiles in photos and photographs

no, im good i dont want to work for you, id rather work for myself, ive read enough books to know you have no idea what you're talking about, and more importantly at least i don't pretend like i know everything, i just know a little bit about a little bit, and i don't mind knowing nothing, do some research and stop believing everything you read, 75% of all statistics are made up (including this one) b/c theres lies, damn lies, statistics, probability, psychology, psychiatry, lawyers, finanial guys, and then there's the devil so be fucking careful with what people who claim they are doctors, lawyers, advisors, investors, venture capitalists, friends, tempory or permanent take what people tell you with a grain of salt because people love to hear themselves talk.

because just like the rest of us the person your asking for help from well they have no clue what they're doing so use your brain - it's not anger, it's not resentment, it's not pesimistic, it's called realistic optimism, so be mindful and keep your eyes open and your head on a swivel,

i know where i am, i know where i'm going and i know how to get there, and they say you only live once, but really you can live a thousand lives, you only die once, so be careful and treat your mind, body and soul right,

and words have power, so don't use them to hate, use them to love, listen to good music, put on sunscreen, do shit in moderation, but don't smoke too much, don't fuck too much, don't drink too much and you can love as much as you want, but don't give them everything if they can't handle it, b/c most people don't want everything, they just want enough to make them feel warm and gooey inside, so you leave them wanting more and they'll want you forever, but if you love someething set it free

and remember once the mutual benefit is gone, they'll be gone just like any other relationship, so love your family, appreciate your friends, try not to fuck too many people over, and be an asshole, cause remember do unto others as you wish they would do unto you and it's easy to point out the saw dust in my eye, but it's funny that you can't see the log in your eye, if you need help don't be afraid, just ask someone you care about to listen, and don't think they'll have the answers, because they won't they'll just have a couple nods and a hug and that's all you can ask for from a true friend, and true friends are hard to find, but family will be there forever.

and the people that knock on your door when you want to be alone just want to see how you're doing so maybe wipe away your tears and let them inside, or leave em if they reallly care they'll be back one day, but you never know cause everything can be gone in a day, one wrong turn, one wrong move, and poof your existence is swept away and you live on in the people that think they knew you

love unconditionally, but be careful, because love hurts like a mother fucker, it hurts more than friendship, it hurts more than family, but love works, right, but what's love got to do with it, this is just life, so live it

Manufactured

Manufactured

Fake

Fake it till 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

brainwash 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 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
