Get up, go to bed

Fill your time inbetween

We rank our successes in life

On how quickly time passes between sleep.

Work hard, play hard

Chasing after laughs and smiles

We look for temporary fulfillment

Something to make us feel good about ourselves for a while.

Touch, and be touched

Looking for positive attention

We hope to attract that someone

Be everything to a person with good intention.

No pain, no gain.

Wreck yourself up and spew
That people don't know how to love

If they don't fully agree with you.
 

Speak up, shut up

Too "unique" for devotion

We don't dare stand up for truth

When the cool kids preach a trendier notion.

Maybe we all need to just show up, and grow up.
What we've spouted out about has been said before;
Demanding acceptance and understanding
Or we'll walk, self-righteously, out the door.

Basing truths of the universe around self,
So, history repeats itself,
Repeats itself.
And we defeat ourselves.
