Straws Of Grass

It amazes me how dependent you are on worldly things
How truly you can't breathe without your daily dose of trivial
How can you stand yourself, being so blunt and blind
Losing pace, you actually froze in time

You couldn't tell a straw of grass from your bills
You can't remember your latest thrill
You'll always cower behind crosswords
And hide from anything that might hurt

Your meaningful discussions, I reduce them to nothing
Since nothing is exactly what they are
How can you not see that
How can you not see what you are

You've always been good at keeping yourself busy
Your way of protection against late night thinking
You fall asleep and leave the real issues awake
That way you bought yourself another day
You avoid the notion that being saved
will eventually take its toll
It will eventually have a price

Listen to your laughter, it's so hollow
I can see through it, it's so transparent
Like your dreams of tomorrow
Those are just your automatic reply
To my inquiries about ambitions

It doesn't matter if you claim to be happy now
It doesn't matter how you feel about your life
You still created it out of your own contempt
And gave it your holy bliss and consent
Isn't that hypocritical, how can you deny
You've become a reflection of everyone else
And still you make time to mock them all
As if you were better than them

But you're not, you're just like them
You're just someone who gave up on their beliefs
For the benefit of the most conventional kind of life
And without any interest in me
Without any effort for me

You wouldn't even be alive without me
