Just a Generation

I thought about my life and then I thought about the knife
Thought of everything that I should've done right
But there's no such thing as wrong, and no good deed lasts for long
The momentum from the spin is just fucking me up
Everything comes around but it's got some extra weight
Every second faster, and more is at stake
Every smile is fading and every grim stare begins
The apathetic general of the rising nation
Follow that model and you'll be like the others
Marching in line as nothing seems to bother
Fuck World War Z cause we're already zombies
Nothing more spectacular than watching t.v.
Sitting in front of the screen and doing nothing
And going blind in the mind from this shit?
Is it worth it? I guess we found the piper
Enticing the minors to live with him forever
Just a general generation of a genuine contemplation
Apathetic to relations and the minds across the nation
No food for thought, and man everyone's starving
The rice and the grains are getting drowned out by the barley
The neurons are fading and losing sight of nirvana
And the line is getting harder to see
I don't know if I crossed it, or if there's a new one drawn
It seems so far away either way and so long
Getting thicker every minute, and getting grayer every hour
The years become seconds as I try to climb this tower
Maybe when I reach the top this world will look different
More beauty to appreciate and less visible contagion
More mind over matter but what matters to me
Is less of the danger of trying to live free
Free from all the judgement, and thoughts of society
Free from the chains that I willingly believed
Would help me either way but they just served to hold me back
The links are getting hot and I'm bound on this track
No way to get up I've fallen and I can't
But little did I realize I could still stand
But now it's a fact, I know it more than most
Not tryna boast but admit it you know
Barely anything, it's the ignorant era
Arrogance and ego and a war on terror
