"To follow the dream
it gets harder and harder"
time to bestow our beauty
time to rinse off the rage
which keeps us trapped
in some convoluted cage
contaminated with chaotic confusion
drowning in delusions and doubt
no one hearing the silent shouts
for help as we run around
hopelessly surrounding
ourselves with lies and
a low sense of self
levelling our health
wishing for wealth
as death creeps
so stealthily
unheard, unseen
like when the machines
take Control as they've already
begun to warp our minds and distract
us from ourselves and everything else
"this species has amused itself to death"
Take a deep breath
Like it's the last one left
it gets harder and harder"

Ouch...saddens me that this has a feel of solid truth woven through it. Self-sedation is gonna be our downfall. Get lost in media, in games, in fiction...anything to avoid looking it in the face. I keep a wary eye on reality and a balancing toe in distance...tricky. But truth is truth.

This species has amused themselves to death.. that line hit deep. It’s sad that it’s very true.

Me, too, buddy. I played the Wall so much, I know every word. Funny story, my introduction to them was a mistake. I liked a song called Wishing You Were Here by Chicago, but didn't know who sung it, and I saw the album Wish You Were Here, by Pink Floyd, so I bought it thinking it was the song. It wasn't, but I fell in love with Floyd then, and they became my favorite group. lol. It's good to be a goof sometimes!
Thanks HUnter.
