The lesson pt.1

The alien landed in a forest of green  
and it reminisced on life in the machine  
in time.  
Flashes of fading visions shot across the skyline.  
The alien looked back on the dreams  
and it thought to itself,  
               existence is an enigma,  
                  the universe is deep.  
 
It disguised itself once more as a stranger,  
turned his back on the woods and set out for civilization.  
 
Hold on, hold on stranger.  
 
As you add it all up  
the blood and the spirits shed,  
there's an invasion of hatred  
and an invasion of egoism in each sector.  
As the governments fool the people  
and the people lose sanity  
and sanity doesn't exist  
as we battle with vanity.  
And is it any wonder  
that we've lost humanity.  
 
He said, "people, people reality is a scam  
why must you keep on killing yourself to live in misery?"  
And the biggest egos of all  
and the broken spirits in space  
"Don't let us down, you're a good species."  
"Time is illusory  
existence is an enigma,
the universe is deep,
death always creeps  
 as one's cosmic cycle from within seeps."
 
 And we've found ourselves here  
in the land of green,  
back to learn the lesson we're always second guessin'.
