Most people will spend their
entire life trying to forget
trying not to feel
trying to run from the truth

TV, work, politics, religion,
kids, family, Wal-mart, hobbies,
time.... the days of our lives
filled up with junk, space, distance
between you and reality

And most people would rather sit in their
own filth than to wake up and do something
about all the time and money they've
spent on trying to forget

We are all dreamers, dreaming a life
that isn't really our own
commercials, shoes, flashing vanity, stuff
more stuff, crap for your crap

And honestly, I think it's time
time for truth, time for reality
time to wake up, snap out of it
stand on our own two feet

the world's not gonna change
with all of us accepting things
the way they are... like limp bodies
trying to clap at the end of a performance
we didn't really like

turn off your TV
forget your politics
I'm not interested in your
imaginary gossip, drama,
or how your parents didn't
love you enough

snap out of it... you are the only person
the ONLY PERSON here, right now
and its up to you to change
and in turn, to change the world

This world is but your looking glass
your thoughts are your commands
to this dynamic medium
called life

Most people are afraid of their own power
their own free will

Freedom is a dream that few
ever really actualize
they are frightened of what they might see
of what they might do

We are all born, masters of our own reality
until life's lessons teach us to close up,
to hide our love, to forget who we really are

remembering can be a painful process,
doing what others fear is a lonely path
but i'd rather be alone and free
than befriended and blind
