If you feel like getting out
Get out
If you feel like breaking down
Break down
If you feel like you're alright tonight
Don't forget that you're on borrowed time tonight
Don't you get it why we close our eyes?
You're so aesthetic that it lulls our minds

Do you feel like it's enough enough?
Do you feel like you got it rough?
So rough
Do you feel like you're in touch?
A touch
Do you know why you're in such a rush to lush?

Don't you get it why we close our eyes
You're so aesthetic that it lulls our minds
Wake up and smile now
You don't get it
It's so poetic
I fall in love with your vacant eyes

I don't want to get stuck in this hole
I don't want to get stuck in this hole

Let's take a second and think about that last line. How many of you have said that same thing about your life, job, hometown, or relationship? If you answered yes, then let's go back to the beginning, and figure this out.

In last weeks writing, we talked about passing trials and tribulations. You need to make a decision, and stick with it. But, make haste, for we have little precious time in this world to make something happen in our lives that will inspire others. Do not get caught up in what's trending now. Close your eyes, and focus on your dreams, and do not let the hollow, meaningless things of this world put you into a shallow, translucent state, where you are held back by an uncertain fog, a haze of fear that clouds the once certain purpose you had in this life. Once you are taken captive by something shiny and beautiful by this world’s standards, you are forever malcontent, always needing more to satisfy, more, and more, until the final rest is upon you.

This is why we close our eyes, and set our sights on something greater than this world has to offer. Otherwise, we are put to sleep, strung out, and weary from the race to fill our lives with as many things as we can, that we think will bring us happiness.

We try to wake up, but we can't. We've fallen in love with the empty promises, and shiny things of this world, and we've dug our final resting place. But there is always hope, that maybe, just maybe... someday we will wake up, and rejoice, and be lifted out of our holes we've dug ourselves into. Every place is what you make of it, and you decide whether this place is a hole you are in, or whole with you in it.
