5. Statis
1. Absorbed
They can’t see who you really are
The potential to go really far
Will you conform, absorbed by the norm
What do you see when you look at your life
Inner joy or bitter strife
Will you conform, absorbed by the norm
Do you know you are different
Real unique not equivalent
Absorbed, by fear
Absorbed, by trends
What do you think when you follow the herd
Do you dream to be free as a bird
Will you conform, absorbed by the norm
Absorbed, by fear
Absorbed, by trends
Every man sees things differently
Courage to resist another trend
There’s an alternative way to be
Not to give them the money you spend
Free from the shackles of mediocrity
Pursue your individuality
What are you trying to accomplish
Do you bow to their decree
Be free to roam as you please
Heed your heart and be free
Do you heed the corporate hype
Do you get pegged as a stereotype
Will you conform, absorbed by the norm
2. Calendar
Notice every day go by
Knowing what you didn’t try
Numbers flashing in your head
Worry replaced it instead
Looking across the waters
Pondering what’s waiting there
Blurry vision can’t tell though
Don’t know, but can’t be aware
The blend between the now and then
Won’t comfort the next day
Anticipation will stay
The glory of a moment
Like steam will evaporate
Life’s flame will suffocate
The friends of past are long gone
The unknown mist won’t clear
Always waiting for some peace
Sails are up and it can’t steer
The blend between the now and then
Won’t comfort the next day
Anticipation will stay
The glory of a moment
Like steam will evaporate
Life’s flame will suffocate
The pages flip by the wind
Every day turns into grey
Always searching for the truth
Anticipation will stay
The blend between the now and then
Won’t comfort the next day
Anticipation will stay
The glory of a moment
Like steam will evaporate
Life’s flame will suffocate
Waste time on speculation
Come to life’s invitation
Excusing your life away
Boredom and despair will stay
Remember vitality
Now there’s insecurity
The dreams function as escape
Out of touch and can’t relate
3. Perpetrator of Dreams
They live in constant fear
They repent their feat
Their sins are crystal clear
At night it will repeat
Through the sleep into the dreams
Cuts in deep, planting the screams
Growth will no more avail
Conscience will torment
‘Til it will prevail
They’re on a descent
Through the sleep into the dreams
Cuts in deep, planting the screams
The evil thing that they have done
Will be passed on to their son
What once happened in the past
A shadow over them is cast
The past has come once more
To anguish the peace
Can’t remove the spore
So they can be at ease
Through the sleep into the dreams
Cuts in deep, planting the screams
4. ....At the Lowest Point
Compromise and neglect
Redemption of introspect
In vortex of wailing doubt
From a well of confute spout
The truth held in grave stealth
Touched by the dragons breath
Segregated, at the lowest point
Locked in a vice snare
Paralyzed, at the lowest point
Dormant and impaired
The wretch that struck on your soul
Your scarred pride takes it’s toll
Fear of the lasting sorrow
Consequent of what must follow
Break lose through recession
Cast away all submission
Segregated, at the lowest point
Locked in a vice snare
Paralyzed, at the lowest point
Dormant and impaired
Ridding your mind of contradiction
Rescind and delete the rejection
Revolt upon the condescending
Rightfully your life’s impending
Fearful of what is not known
The real ego can’t be shown
In blackness myself must hide
Naught to show the darker side
Fear is strong and will arise
Shattered soul in disguise
Segregated, at the lowest point
Locked in a vice snare
Paralyzed, at the lowest point
Dormant and impaired
5. Statis
It has stricken with pain
By the instigation
They’ve been driven insane
Wipes out deviation
Anyone who comes, has come to stasis
Place of denial, stagnant oasis
Put in isolation
Confined to solitude
Voice of desperation
Gagged, choked, silenced and mute
Anyone who comes, has come to stasis
Place of denial, stagnant oasis
Into this idle hour
Passiveness gains it’s power
Nobody will ever change
Viewing all difference as strange
Embracing monotony
Clinging to uniformity
Discomposed by new ideas
Inadvertent to the tears
Discarding diversity
For all perpetuity
Progress will never prevail
This society will fail
A whisper is a roar
The words are unspoken
Unlocked remains the door
Dormant ‘til it’s broken
Anyone who comes, has come to stasis
Place of denial, stagnant oasis
