Slide Show

Life is like a slide show
All the things that I know
And all the places I go
Through all the highs and lows

But wait, stop a second
If life is like a slide show
How come all I see is a blur
Lights streaming past my window
Rain coming down in anger
Moments come and go
Like a stranger
Through my open door
Lay in bed in a state of paraplegia
Mind in hysteria
As memories flood and overwhelm
Scents that make me nostalgic
Bring about vivid images
Cause all I see is all that's been
And now I'm just sitting and wondering

Cause life is like a slide show
All the things that I know
All the places I go
Through all the highs and lows

Now through all my life
I rolled that dice
Waiting for religion to take away my vice
But I'm still struggling
Angles are coming
The colors are changing
As the sky turns pink
Another day lost
Nothing gained
Seems as if I'm stuck, crying in vain
Societies elite passing judgment
As the homeless sweep the sidewalk they call their own
Look at humanity, how its grown
Now we're killing with guns instead of bows
Why, cause its all apart of our slide show
