Distraction

No real purpose in all these years spent
time passing by like our lives are for rent
expectations from people who really know nothing
maybe they have it figured out but then why cant they show me
information so useless when we don't know whats missing
so we go through the motions and keep on dismissing
looking in the mirror we don't like what we see
it gives us no answers about our humanity
we are searching for a question but who would we even ask
and if our time is so valuable why can't we get it back
everything dies and we all suffer
if we're all breaking down why can't we help each other
if knowledge was freely shared and we all had one vision
maybe we could get somewhere or even know the mission
we do good and bad just to get reactions
it's easier to avoid the truth so we live for our distractions
