The Boy Vs. The Cynic, Chapter one, page one.
2
I'll start from the top...
3
I'll embrace dreams again when I can breath again
4
And at that point I won't be needing them
5
It became clear to me that I was fighting a war I couldn't win.
6
You don't make it on your own merit
7
Only royalty inherits the kingdom
8
And that's a system good intentions can't help
9
Your courage is not good here so don't try to excel
10
What a sad day when you realize nothing can change
11
The revolution didn't leave you it never came
12
There will be no parades, no royal balls
13
Just long days topped off with last calls for alcohol
14
Go to sleep wake up and repeat the same routine
15
Smooth skin dressed with wrinkles and brown eyes with dark rings and entertainers sing of extremes that don't exist for you or me
16
When real life is reality TV no wonder our youth don't believe in anything
17
It's all a joke there are no heroes just those of us with high hopes
18
It's just not that simple
19
I'm not trying to save it all I just want to create a ripple
20
And even if one individual is affected it's monumental with an unusual perspective
21
That's beautiful in essence
22
Traditional thinking won't suggest this
23
Is life really that precious?
24
Well yes it is
25
But there will be no celebrations or congratulations
26
No pat on the back just your mind intact
27
And the freedom to feel your heart beat at the speed of life
28
Go to sleep tonight knowing you did it right
29
And rest easy outside of a system that resents you for not doing what they expect you to do
30
Psychologically wear you down and then they make the suggestion that you get on a prescription to deal with your depression
31
Anxious lazy temperamental obese
32
That's what money makers like to call a disease
33
And they'll be looking for or creating new problems with profitable solutions
34
To solve them but you won't get any better you'll just come back for more
35
Until your medicine drawer is filled with unreliable cures
36
And that's the way of the beast
37
And I can't do nothing about it
38
I could shout it in a room that's crowded but I doubt it'd make a difference
39
So ignorance will be my disguise cause 21st century America likes its witchcraft civilized.
40
Cuz 21st century America likes its witchcraft civilized.
