from a secure perch it is easy to forget we’re part of the world
for some, the purpose for why they are here is just to support something
how others see us is not as important as how we see ourselves
what we leave behind tells the story of how we choose to live our lives
just because we’re warned that doesn’t mean we won’t make a bad decision
if we could predict the future, there’s still a chance that we’d be surprised
we quietly show our tribalism by the icons we select
the truth doesn’t hurt unless you’ve been relying on dishonesty
we can search for peace but it’s much simpler to make it where you are
we’ve learned to believe that there is an award for living in a cage
