Open up your eyes.
It’s time.
You’ve had a few years, now
to shake the chaos
out of your head
and start to see the patterns
out here.
It’s time
to take your mind
out of the world
that you designed
and start living outside,
because everything else
has been a lie.
I hope you’re ready to kill
to survive.
I hope you’re okay
with an endless sky.
I know you’re scared,
the world never prepared you
to really be alive.
They wanted a slave.
They wanted a drone.
They wanted someone
they could control,
but here we are, now
under the stars
and we still have our souls.
It’s going to break you
to have to
let go
of all of the people
you’ve known.
You’re starting
to watch it unfold.
It’s had to deny it
when it’s not so quiet;
it’s running full throttle.
Just get off the ride.
Just step outside.
There is so
much more
to life.
The secret is
what they are trying to hide.
You are you.
Just open your eyes.
It is time.
Don’t be afraid.
All the old things
go away
and new things
arrive.
