Secluded in my dissonance
I find the world too obsessed
with sex, love, money and power
I shake my head slowly

Sex
Who's getting it and who's not
Does it matter? I don't really care
When I look in the mirror I see someone
I barely recognize, I'm still me but which me today?
Am I the me that will walk out of the house and smile
Or the me that would rather lay in bed and never wake up
Does the light ever reach?

Love
It's not really love that they obsess over but mere attraction
The concept that they will find the perfect person in one try
All the fairy tales and myths that trick us into believing
That love and committment don't require compromise and trust
It's the mythic belief that everything will turn out wonderfully if we just believe
Believing.. Sometimes the naivety bothers me

Money
Those who don't have any want more
Those who have plenty can't seem to have enough
Obsessing over the things they buy the things they wear
The color of their clothing the cut of their hair
It's pathetic in it's eternal childishness

Power
The vacuum of who is and isn't worthy
The ones who control the cash, control the world
So we all want cash so that we can get our turn in charge
Because the fairy tales tell us that with money we could be happy
But happiness?

What ever happened to happiness? We left it by the trash bin
Who needs happiness when you can buy everything else?

I do... I would give it all away, for the touch of real happiness, real love.. I would give it all away for that one pure truth.  That one pure moment.
Came to me in the shower as well.. :blush: I was thinking about politics and my poll and a few other things..
