The Lethality of Mediocrity

man-made
anti-life norms and artificial structures
to make you believe your life's worth a lie
feigned fallacies to keep you in the
leash to make you forget you just wanna die

ignore heaven, rule in hell
to be the order of one
the only one worth dying for
no one else, or...
lay low, stay the same
covered by collective shame
too afraid to lose your face
paralyzed by a thought of disgrace

brainwashed
followers of rules made by other
fools, created to control, forged to oppress
man's self-image,
a twisted reflection of regulated minds driven to distress

ignore heaven, rule in hell
to be the order of one
the only one worth dying for
no one else, or...
lay low, stay the same
covered by collective shame
too afraid to lose your face
paralyzed by a thought of disgrace

without lows there would not be highs
average people, mediocre lives

passing by in silence
supporting mental violence

ignore heaven, rule in hell
to be the order of one
the only one worth dying for
no one else, or...
lay low, stay the same
covered by collective shame
too afraid to lose your face
paralyzed by a thought of disgrace

aim, aim, aim, aim high
aim, aim, aim, aim high or cry
