ill do whatever i want, im a robot

in a world where nothing's remembered unless it's famous we would sell our souls just to write our names on the sidewalks of glamour before the concrete dries. we know our promised land awaits and we will do whatever it takes to get there. it doesn't matter how many necks we have to snap or back we have to stab, nothing will hold us back from our chance to shine. friends are just a commodity after all. you may not know who i am and i can't say im really too sure either but it's the price you have to pay to be as adaptable as i am. it's really a simple game, just become whatever they want you to and forget having a definable identity. like the moon has mastered the lycanthrope so the limelight has become our manipulator. we pledge our hearts to relativity in order to avoid conflict. we soak our hands in grey and our lives are dripping in ambiguity. is this what it is to grow up? sometimes i doubt my own maturity because im still hiding under the sheets of my childhood. im not afraid of the dark, im just afraid of what's in it. have we turned the lights out so we can sleep or just to hide the monsters we have unleashed? this is the life we have chosen and this is the path we walk. what we thought was bringing salvation is actually the harbinger of our destruction. we have escaped the reach of the lion just to be greeted by the jaws of the bear. in all this mess we have forgotten our primal need for veracity. not everything is black and white but this color isn't as beautiful as it looked at first. it's starting to fade and so am i. this is the place i always find you. unwavering and standing true while i kneel on skinned knees with my face in the gravel. you are unchanged amidst the hoax that i have to live for. with selfishness deeply entrenched in my heart, you are the catalyst for life.
