Wilting away in the back of the mind,
an Ideal such as Modesty rots.
Respect, Manners, and Responsibility
No longer exist in the consciences of Society.
Material needs strangle the needs of the body.
They turn Women and Men into Self-conscious monsters.
Low-fat this and Sunflower oil that, Does that come sugar free?
newer "healthier" things just keep coming out...
Is there really a reason to have that fridge full of Low-fat yogurt,
just because you're trying to loose a couple of pounds?
In school you're taught to be yourself,
but the reality isn't that at all.
Kids are themselves about as close as an actor is thier role.
Pressure builds up on those poor fragile frames
Parent's just don't understand, they say "When I was young..."
and don't realize they're hurting thier child.
Ignorance is not always bliss.
Not knowing or choosing to ignore,
Ends up killing the Plain Jane,
She had an inferiority Complex...
she just wasn't good enough.
Not taking the time or pushing it away,
Only pushes John Doe further...
further...
further away from any one he knows.
He falls into a make believe world,
where only his blood can stop his pain.
Wilting away in the back of the mind,
an Ideal such as Humanity rots.
Life, Love, and Death
No longer phase the consciences of Society.
