Empty Calories

Are we all that fucking insignificant?
Hate to think that everything I experience and learn
Has no purpose or meaning

Why learn at all
When distractions are fulfilling?
Kinda like eating corn—
You won't be hungry
But still don't gain any nutrients

Why do we live like the soul was deadweight
And not the source of the power we each offer?

Man, it's scary to be you
In this day and age it's revolutionary
The shit you make, build, or create
Is the shit you will cherish at the end of the day

Living lazy is cool I guess
Safe and easy
Is that fulfilling?
Is that really your manifest destiny?

Questions I ask myself
Cuz I like to be lazy
Tell myself I'm thinking too much
And dismiss my radical thoughts because they're hazy
And I scare myself into submission
