I
envious of traits in other people I'll never see in myself
of positions, stations in life
I try not to watch the tv or the radio
the lies inundate me
I'm just a mortal, just wanna be adored . . .
popularity makes it easy to swallow your pride
so why don't I feel alive?
all this sensory overload deadens the nerves
my spirit surges in solitary
in a society hellbent on pushing you down
its hard to comprehend the desire to navigate a crowd
II
in society, I feel absolutely like a fish out of water
it's always unexpected
just when I feel I've started to assimilate
someone makes me feel like an anomaly
when I feel I've become even slightly normal
an action
seen in my eyes as abnormal
yet applauded
brings me yet again to the realization that I'm an outcast
people tend to bring me down
the way they act, the worlds a stage for farce
no one really knows, but they sure try to put on airs
those of us that DON'T
catch hell for being honest
consumerism is a culture of deceit
I could sell you the world with the right pitch
but I have no desire for that
I don't want you to see me through a window
I want you to feel the way I see the world
I want it all
with you
