social life
   

so many conversations around me
lost in the present tense
so many think things are important
at their heart and soul's expense

so many strong willed confusions
locked in their singular minds
so many are not listening
so many choose to be blind

and still they make conversation
and still they pretend they can see
and still they deny they are feeling
and still they imagine they care

and they wonder why
they don't get close to me
but it's just a control thing
they don't really want to share

torn between wanting a savior
and fear of giving up control
they place their faith in invisible things
that they can control
and sacrifice their soul

torn between wanting a savior
and fear of paying the toll
they place their faith in material things
that they can control
and sacrifice their soul

baby can you understand
I don't want to touch the hand
of anyone who lies in love
or hides it below or above

I don't want to touch anyone
who does not love herself
for that is an energy vacuum
that's bad for my health

there is only so much healing
that my love can do
I can only start your feeling
the rest is up to you

everybody wants an answer
through self-pity or pride
but the answer is the balance
you can only find inside

torn between wanting a savior
and fear of paying the toll
they place their faith in material things
that they can control
and sacrifice their soul

torn between wanting a savior
and fear of giving up control
they place their faith in invisible things
that they can control
and sacrifice their soul

and I watch their bloated bodies
accepting their self-destruction
consuming their social poisons
waste is their mass production

and I see so many lives based
on denial and assumption
and I am anti-social for
wanting no part in their mass consumption

and still they make conversation
and still they pretend they can see
and still they deny they are feeling
and still they imagine they care

and they wonder why
they don't get close to me
they just want a normal social life
they don't really want to share

torn between wanting a savior
and fear of giving up control
they place their faith in invisible things
that they can control
and sacrifice their soul

torn between wanting a savior
and fear of paying the toll
they place their faith in material things
that they can control
and sacrifice their soul
