Third Eye Blind

I'm caught in static;
paralyzed
with no control over my own life.
I've given up freedom for protection,
and safety.
I've traded excitement and happiness
for familiarity.

I know the pieces fit,
and the world keeps spinning without me,
but I can feel the tremors building;
I can sense the pace shifting.

The world is getting angry,
and she's about to explode.

Bound and gagged,
I'm nothing more than a cultist,
hellbent on change.

Time to flush it all down.
I'm sick of swimming with the flow,
tired of keeping up with the herd in
so steady of a current.
it's time to break free and fight the rapids;
I'm swimming upstream.
Far too long have I followed,
like a sheep to the perpetual slaughter.
Far too long have I journeyed,
searching for a salvation that will not come.

All this rebellion has exhausted me;
it's time to break free and conform.
