Open Your Eyes, Child! The World Is Changing!

Connectivity is overrated I should say,

Because I’ve noticed how we all act.

No one understands this isn’t a game,

we shouldn’t wear a mask.

Yet there they go, the Morgan’s,

Walking to their car.

Strapping on their masks,

Going to dance with the Smiths under the stars.

 

Where is you elegance, my dear,

I must admit I watched it drown.

Carried away by the layers of gloss,

The lipstick isn’t as stunning, you like a clown.

Yeah I know, I’ve heard it all before,

I don’t understand and I never will.

But still I find this so confusing,

The pounds of makeup are only creating a larger hole to fill.

 

If you could, would you run away,

From this place where we feel we must be fake?

Pack our bags and head out west,

To the shore where there are no masks to make.

Cause I don’t think I could stay another moment,

All these words are contradiction to the truth.

I’ve fought all my life for something solid,

But every night I lie awake, thinking, “If only I had proof.”

 

I want proof, something tangible,

I want facts, something I can read.

But everything is breaking down,

Everyone is given fabrications still they feed.
