From the beginning your mind is stuck in the most elaborate maze ever made
A maze designed by us
Its up to you to get out
Its up to you to be free
But how do you get out of a maze that you cannot see?
You don’t know your in it for most of your life
You wander around in a constructed system of delusions
And you call it living
Never knowing it isn’t real
It feels real enough to you
But the best delusions often do.
Screens full of misdirections illuminate the paths you take
Your willful ignorance blinds you from mistakes you make
But you start to feel numb
You start to feel hurt and then the panic comes
We built this maze ourselves
To consume and live off our impulses
We did this to ourselves
We thought we were building heaven
But instead we made hell
Now in a hellish maze of the mind
With a ticking clock
Fighting against time
You must take up arms against ignorance
With the only thing you can throw into the ring;
Your balls and your mind.
Maybe some people were made to think
While some people were made to sleep
For our dreams while we sleep
Is just a another layer of the delusions
Rooted somewhere down deep.
You must choose to wake up
To cast aside the comforts that blind you
You must use your mind to break out of the cage
For maybe someday
you’ll use your courage to escape
and be to free of the chains that bind you
The mind is the maze and the mind is the map
Society is a cancer
Culture a trap
Peer pressure is the snake
Squeezing the last of the individual
The last of you
Until your gasping for air
The snake losens its squeeze
Your peers aren’t done with you yet
They decide to let you breath
You must stand as an individual
You must rely on your ability to learn
To adapt
To grow
And somehow
Some way
You’ll navigate through the maze
Or maybe
You’ll choose to stay the same.
No.
The mind must fight the mind
In a constant battle
that will go on forever in time
To shrink or to shine?
To live or to die?
To swim with the current,
Or turn around and try
Just try
Try something
Even if the current roars back
Even if you have to swim with everything in you
Swim
Live
Choose life
Choose to try
Don’t let another second go by
For the dark side of your mind
is always there
Ready to try again and again,
always.
The battle is constant
The delusions
the darkness
the maze
the squeeze
The chains
The trap
And the pains
They will drown you if you let them
Do not let them
They only die when you die
And today
You will not die
Today you will fight
And tomorrow too
This is the battle that you must choose
Choose it
I beg you
Think
Believe
Escape the maze
And see the world for the first time
See it through your own eyes
And make sense of it with your own mind
But the clock is still ticking
And we are all short on time.
So get to it.
The fight against you started from birth
You must fight against it
And this is your curse.
