Problems with Life

Why is my life so messed up?
Everyone is so fake
They're not true to themselves
they don't know who they are, for God's sake!

They want to be popular
the best of the best
they have to be pretty
better then than the rest

I just follow along
Walking silently in line
Trying to figure out
When will it be my turn to shine?

I wish I could show them
All that they could be
If only they'd open their eyes
And see what I see

They all give up their dreams
To follow along with the rest
Why don't they see this all just a test?

A test of our character
A test of our will
A test that will see
How far we are willing to kill

We're ruining ourselves
Destroying the real
Making everything plastic
Hiding how we truly feel

How long will this last?
When will they realize?
All the stuff that they do
Builds up higher and higher creating destructive piles

Why can't I just
open their eyes?
And stop them
from telling all of these lies

Be true to yourself
Be all you can be
Because someday soon
You are all you will see
