Playing Off The Story
by You and I· from The Curtain Falls
and i'd like to say it to you. directly in mediation. from tightly fit packages. i'd build mountains to get away. all the same. run inside where it's safe. and you're still there. you got me i know it. drop the pill. and i swallow. i could make these words so beautiful. if only you let me. though we think we're different. we're still the same - contradictions. we still buy it.
this is something the watchers wait for: image, not a reality. 30 second education, glowing box babysitter gets a failing grade. high on the transmission. eyes o.d. on TV narcotic. manufactured culture. generation restless in motion. put on 3-D glasses to see bullshit up close.
now i see more than ever before. thought control as the billboard says not to fight persuasion. our lives lay in the hands of a profit quota. exploitation thrives and they hide it from our eyes. as the profits rise, and keep diminishing our rights. that's what they feed us and we accept it, we're forced to play the part again.
