Absorbed

They can’t see who you really are The potential to go really far Will you conform, absorbed by the norm What do you see when you look at your life Inner joy or bitter strife Will you conform, absorbed by the norm Do you know you are different Real unique not equivalent Absorbed, by fear Absorbed, by trends What do you think when you follow the herd Do you dream to be free as a bird Will you conform, absorbed by the norm Absorbed, by fear Absorbed, by trends Every man sees things differently Courage to resist another trend There’s an alternative way to be Not to give them the money you spend Free from the shackles of mediocrity Pursue your individuality What are you trying to accomplish Do you bow to their decree Be free to roam as you please Heed your heart and be free Do you heed the corporate hype Do you get pegged as a stereotype Will you conform, absorbed by the norm

Notice every day go by Knowing what you didn’t try Numbers flashing in your head Worry replaced it instead Looking across the waters Pondering what’s waiting there Blurry vision can’t tell though Don’t know, but can’t be aware The blend between the now and then Won’t comfort the next day Anticipation will stay The glory of a moment Like steam will evaporate Life’s flame will suffocate The friends of past are long gone The unknown mist won’t clear Always waiting for some peace Sails are up and it can’t steer The blend between the now and then Won’t comfort the next day Anticipation will stay The glory of a moment Like steam will evaporate Life’s flame will suffocate The pages flip by the wind Every day turns into grey Always searching for the truth Anticipation will stay The blend between the now and then Won’t comfort the next day Anticipation will stay The glory of a moment Like steam will evaporate Life’s flame will suffocate Waste time on speculation Come to life’s invitation Excusing your life away Boredom and despair will stay Remember vitality Now there’s insecurity The dreams function as escape Out of touch and can’t relate

They live in constant fear They repent their feat Their sins are crystal clear At night it will repeat Through the sleep into the dreams Cuts in deep, planting the screams Growth will no more avail Conscience will torment ‘Til it will prevail They’re on a descent Through the sleep into the dreams Cuts in deep, planting the screams The evil thing that they have done Will be passed on to their son What once happened in the past A shadow over them is cast The past has come once more To anguish the peace Can’t remove the spore So they can be at ease Through the sleep into the dreams Cuts in deep, planting the screams

Compromise and neglect Redemption of introspect In vortex of wailing doubt From a well of confute spout The truth held in grave stealth Touched by the dragons breath Segregated, at the lowest point Locked in a vice snare Paralyzed, at the lowest point Dormant and impaired The wretch that struck on your soul Your scarred pride takes it’s toll Fear of the lasting sorrow Consequent of what must follow Break lose through recession Cast away all submission Segregated, at the lowest point Locked in a vice snare Paralyzed, at the lowest point Dormant and impaired Ridding your mind of contradiction Rescind and delete the rejection Revolt upon the condescending Rightfully your life’s impending Fearful of what is not known The real ego can’t be shown In blackness myself must hide Naught to show the darker side Fear is strong and will arise Shattered soul in disguise Segregated, at the lowest point Locked in a vice snare Paralyzed, at the lowest point Dormant and impaired

It has stricken with pain By the instigation They’ve been driven insane Wipes out deviation Anyone who comes, has come to stasis Place of denial, stagnant oasis Put in isolation Confined to solitude Voice of desperation Gagged, choked, silenced and mute Anyone who comes, has come to stasis Place of denial, stagnant oasis Into this idle hour Passiveness gains it’s power Nobody will ever change Viewing all difference as strange Embracing monotony Clinging to uniformity Discomposed by new ideas Inadvertent to the tears Discarding diversity For all perpetuity Progress will never prevail This society will fail A whisper is a roar The words are unspoken Unlocked remains the door Dormant ‘til it’s broken Anyone who comes, has come to stasis Place of denial, stagnant oasis
