The Beautiful Letdown

“When everything inside me
Looks like everything I hate
You are the hope I have for change
You are the only chance I’ll take…”

“I dare you to move
I dare you to life yourself off of the floor
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before…”

“I don’t belong here
I don’t belong here
I will carry a cross and a song
where I don’t belong.”

We were meant for bigger things…it’s so obvious. Why else would man build a boat and dare to prove that the world is round? Why else would we achieve the unachievable and build a rocket to go to the moon? Why else would men and women risk their lives to fight for freedom?

We live for this world but somehow come back empty handed. We obtain possessions, thinking we can somehow “own” the world, control it, but we fail miserably. We look for empty satisfactions, immediate gratifications, only to come back to the place we started and see that we have less than what we have started.

We truely have lost ourselves.

Spoken.
