Being Human

We are all the same
Just in different stages
We're just great big animals
Locked in different cages
Happiness controls us
Authority's our leash
Always something in our way
Or just out of our reach
Always looking outward
Forgetting what's inside
Hollow, hungering for more
And never satisfied
Always in the moment
But still the past somehow
Always in some other day
Never in the now
Being human frustrates me
I'd wish it all away
But the moment that I did
I know I'd wish I could have stayed
