Imprisoned

Do we really use our minds?

To lead the lives we lead today,

Are we not just mechanical beings?

Going round and round and round again,

From place to place without purpose,

We perform a task without a thought,

We imbibe knowledge without question,

Are we not mere imitations of each other?

Are we not mere reflections of our time?

A time where individual thought is replaced,

Replaced by monotony, replaced by regularity,

There’s no room left for originality,

No room left for innovation, invention and discovery,

We swim in popular culture, letting ourselves drown,

We live each day just like the other,

Not learning from our mistakes,

Not stressing on our successes,

We accept the mediocrity in our lives,

We accept the monotony,

We live in a sea of uninterested faces,

Slowly losing our selves

In meaningless chatter

We don’t know intimacy,

We don’t know compassion,

Time is never on our side,

As we rush through our lives,

Not really living.

I Alone!

Dave Matthews Band and this song have really saved me. Sometimes your hear songs and then they get "old", but this stuff is timeless..for real!

Live- I Alone

It's easier not to be wise
and measure these things by your brains
I sank into Eden with you
alone in the church by and by
I'll read to you here, save your eyes
you'll need them, your boat is at sea
your anchor is up, you've been swept away
and the greatest of teachers won't hesitate
to leave you there, by yourself, chained to fate

I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you
fear is not the end of this!

it's easier not to be great
and measure these things by your eyes
we long to be here by his resolve
alone in the church by and by
to cradle the baby in space
and leave you there by yourself chained to fate

oh, now, we took it back too far,
only love can save us now,
all these riddles that you burn
all come runnin' back to you,
all these rhythms that you hide
only love can save us now,
all these riddles that you burn
yeah, yeah, yeah

In the middle of it all

This is the absolute wrong time for me to be blogging. Well according to the world, its the wrong time for me to be doing anything but studying. Yeah...two weeks to my life changing ISC examinations and I honestly couldnt care less. It's actually pretty sad, I used to be the hard working, guilty feeling, crying before exams sort. Today I just sit in front of my open books, try to work and when I cant I shut them and go on to something more interesting...like living my life!
Exams mean nothing to me anymore, they are the most idiotic way of testing a child's knowledge and the fact that your whole life rides on just three weeks is amazing. Amazingly idiotic.
