The Better Life

I'm heading for the other side

Where the light is always right

Where we don't have all these heavy plights

And the loving overrides

And tho' I'm told this time will never come

I want it anyhow

I'm going towards the better life

And I'm ready for it now

Pent up like water in a dam

Angry like heavy metal songs

Messed up like all this news of guns

That like to get drawn

Seeing the problems here at hand

Caught up with useless news and posts

Helpless and feeling like a ghost

Wearing nice clothes

In these modern times

where we're disconnected from

Ourselves and this land

And we're always on the run

Can we turn about and notice what we are?

Living beings in the stars
