A Gaze Through My Reality-scope

Play

Take, take, take.

Leave nothing behind,

Buy, buy, buy,

Happiness is something that shines,

Love?

No you mean money,

Who needs to worry about others,

Their pain is actually funny.

PAUSE

When did we get like this?

When did money become King?

How could we lose sight of what's important?

When did love become giving the newest things?

We laugh at others pain,

We consume all that is in front of us but,

We are still empty,

Searching for something but not knowing what.

PLAY

Empty your pockets,

Empty your minds,

Empty your hearts of kindness,

You can't buy things by being kind.

FAST FORWARD

The world is now corrupt beyond repair,

If only we'd done everything differently,

We laughed at each others pain so much,

Before we noticed our friends were no longer there.

All the things we held prized,

Are now old and disgusting,

Whereas they once mesmerized,

Now nobody gets anything expect the rulers.

And on the inside,

The emptiness has only grown,

All the truly important things were thrown,

Away.

Friends, family, love and compassion,

Sold for shiny toys,

We still can't comprehend this noise,

It's silence,

No one to share life with,

If only we could...

REWIND

STOP

It's time to go,

And make a brand new future.
