Your happiness is determined by brittle green paper,
Society has taught you to be as shallow as water vapor.
This life is passing you by and you don't even seem to realize,
You're drowning in this community's rules and lies.

Nothing more than a mannequin in a window,
And your mind consists of 75% ego.
Oh, where did that creative mind go?
Without a mind of your own, you can't say no.

Now you're all alone taking the final drag of your cigarette,
Wondering how this could have played out in retrospect.
There is no one left as a guiding light,
When you're alone, even the days become nights.
