People never make moves deemed unacceptable or against the rules.
And the ones who do get punished for it, ordered to "shape their lives up."
Each day is exactly the same, moving from space to space
Black white, black white, black white.
One dreams of a life with no limits
An existence without legalities or consequences
A world where people are who they want to be and do what they want
Void of criticism and cynics
We're all wrapped up in our safety nets.
Afraid to jump, scared of what may be waiting at the bottom of this mountain
What you don't realize:
You're safety nets are useless, for most of us have prior obligations
These are the obligations that tie and gag us
So that we have no where to go, no way to speak
And when we finally cut that rope from our limbs, and rip the cloth from our mouths.
We remain with those obligations, for that is all we've ever known.
Either out of naivety or love, we are all held back from our true and utter dreams.
And over and over you ask yourself why and how?
It's time to stop asking questions
Face the truth.
I am but a pawn to everyone, in this chess board of life
Day to day is another movie, pawn to here, pawn to there
I'm just waiting for the players to realize I'm more then an empty object
And there isn't eight of me. Only one.
