2 Billion

2 billion people in the world and we have the audacity to think we matter

where did we get the balls?

in reality we don’t really mean anything at all

and yet some of us are still waiting for the fall

to keep the walls from caving in

watch every word come out of our mouths like a f*****g cartoon 

making sure we never sin. 

God Damn. who the hell are we?

walking on this world like we DESERVE to be.

like its our RIGHT to live and be alive

but what is life if were living in a lie, living to die?

a fabricated existence built around material goods and a faith in the unknown

only to keep the fear of what is already known buried deep inside

nowhere to hide, this atmosphere is paper thin

in reality were simply just a speck of dust drifting in the wind

so ill succumb to the world around,

 ill become a slave simply to survive

find a job get a girl settle down, with the hope ill feel alive

but if I succumb ill surely die

Ill go to school and become a slave to a financial lie

find a job that’ll get me buy smoke a little weed and get a little high

forget all about my s****y life and my pay that sucks

find a girl who I will inevitably hate. but at least she sucks

cause how can you find love in a haystack of lies

were living like f*****g flies

were born into a system... a well oiled machine

that produces a generation of zombies obsessed with what the’ll never have, stressed out of their f*****g minds

It’s obscene. 

The American Dream?

its a nightmare and thats the f*****g truth

but fighting the system? its no f*****g use.

so maybe theres nothing to being human and maybe theres nothing at all

I’m coming to grip with the fact that were all alone on this deflating ball 

and now i too find myself waiting for the fall

It's true I was raised christian

but I’ve developed a habit of habitually sinning

and I don’t know if jesus could see us or if he’d even bother to free us,

or if he should

cause even if he could

do you think wed see him behind all these material goods

do you honestly believe we deserve to divinity that we were born to crave

how many lives have you bothered to save

face it, were all just a bunch of f*****g slaves

paralyzed by the chains of our minimum wage

and i wonder,

 if everything that created me

will be satisfied with all that i created, all that i came to be 

its insanity and I’m slowly bleeding out

slowly figuring out, theres no ryhm or reason to this game

thats why were all insane, thats why were willing to believe theres a reason for this pain

maybe were all alone, maybe were born to die

maybe theres no other reason

no reason to be alive

but we take what we’ve been given and forget the things we bought

before we rot, learn to love the things we got

and before we turn to dust, you must understand

there is a reason for it all, it does not revolve in the hands of all powerful god

It's all a facade were taught to fear what we love and lust

So before we become one with this lonely cold earth crust

Understand one thing: it's just you and I and Us
