One day I awoke from my dream
Reality conditioned me to hate
For the pleasure, for the pain
For the remembrance of a love long lost
Few people have the energy to think
It’s easier to survive by the skin of your teeth
To work pay your taxes and die
A dreamer feels the pain for what we have all lost
Society keeps us in our places conveniently
Reality grounds us to accept relentlessly
I questioned, I thought
Now a shell is all that remains
I think I’ll get a job and move to the ‘burbs
Defeat is life with no compassion
