Our outlook is bleak but the moment is grand
+
To be told we're independent is not enough.
+
We should strive for autonomous thoughts
+
And your pride in you conformity is sickening
+
This useless praise
+
But this desire for focus triggers abuse
+
Of an endless sense of insecurity.
+
We grasp at endless questions for a sense of hope
+
It's not so simple to sit and wait
+
We cannot embrace our roles blindly
+
They're assigned
+
They are assigned, based on the fact that we will accept
+
Minds are in suspended animation
+
Due to an attachment to this established lifestyle
+
My existence will not be dictated like a reading from a book
+
I will not be predetermined.
+
Our outlook is bleak.
+
When approval is all we crave and the moment is grand.
+
Your pride is sickening.
+
In your conformity.
+
But this moment is grand.
+
We should strive for autonomous thoughts.
+
Approval is all we crave!
