Being Human

We are all the same
Just in different stages
We’re just great big animals
Locked in different cages

Happiness controls us
Authority’s our leash
Always something in our way
Or just out of our reach

Always looking outward
Forgetting what’s inside
Hollow, hungering for more
And never satisfied

Always in the moment
But still the past somehow
Always in some other day
Never in the now

Being human frustrates me
I’d wish it all away
But the moment that I did
I know I’d wish I could have stayed
