Blind

Our life is not a life.
It's a puppet show. Spectacular.
Keep silent. Never rouse a strife
Be the same as others or be similar.

Be just a sheep in a numerous herd
Play innocent, play weak
If you speak, they'll just pretend they never heard
So it's better if you never speak

You're so blind and so is everybody else here
They had jabbed your eyes and silenced your opinion
Look around, everybody's brainwashed, dear
Your face says 'fine' but your soul wants a rebellion.

Stand out! For your own's sake, stand out!
I beg to differ from the mass.
Save your cloud-castle! Run! Shout!
Or your notional fetters will forever last.

Open your eyes.
