Society Gates

Humanity is conformity

Conformity is society

Society is this reality

The faces that saw me

And the angles that warned me

They told me to run

And dispose of the gun

I could have escaped

Be gone with no trace

Instead I just stayed

Within societies gates

Cos I can run but I can’t hide

And I must justify

The way I live my life

Until the day I die

I live within these gates

I cannot go against

So I must see it through

There’s nothing left to do

They said I was crazy

And they called me a fool

But words cannot change me

And my respect for the rules

I may be part of the system

But if I could rule this land

The rules would be different

But I am just one man

So I wish I was under a tree

Far away from society

Where the only truth in me

Is the soothing sound of my own entity?

While my other voice is free

It expresses words of plea

To return to a stable form of reality

But I’m inside of that tree

That tree is inside of another tree

The perplexity is infinity

So I will just chill with a spliff

I can run but I can’t hide
