I really think that the human condition
is the most depressing thing in the entire fucking world
right now i feel so strongly
so awake, aware, so feeling
it's all there on the surface, that drive and desire
i can see the meaning, for a second believe
that my life is worth more than
a million hours gazing at a tv screen
but even so, deep down i do realize
that come tomorow, come even an hour
i won't feel like this anymore
no matter how many times i repeat inside my head
that these thoughts are who i am, that it's so good to be unnumbed
i'll still wake up feeling empty
i wish i could somehow hang onto these moments
take that sad scene i clung to and replay it again
i do understand how small and uninfluential i am
but that's what scares me more than anything
i am too little to hold onto the hurt
to anchor it on the shore so i can see it, graze it
make it my everything
so instead, i adapt and fold
i become part of the mass and machine
i go to school, i interact
stupid small talk, careless laughter
but the irony is, i don't hate all of it
there are times, where when i lose myself
i forget i'm even in pain
that i don't fit this mold
that it's only a game
i truly feel happy
just simple human happy
and it's so crazy because i can reach this other end of the spectrum too
when i write, or when i do these drugs
when i'm alone
i feel so extroidinary
like lightening and glass
where i think to myself: from now on things
will never be the same
and even though i am so wrong every time
in all of those moments i really try to mean that
i realize because of this hypocrisy is inevitable
i am caught up in the middle of a road and an extreme
sometimes it's so much easier to be emotionless
to just sit in front of whatever they put before you
and just fucking take it, live in the moment
go to sleep instead of escaping
but at night, this part of me that fights comes out
where i want to write, where i want to dream different
when the motivation comes out of hiding
i know this is the me i am proud of
but she always disappears in the morning light
i can't hold onto her, she's too elusive
that slippery balm of human condition
is raining down her shoulders
reign over me
