We live in a world where life is measured by the accumulation of acceptance placed upon our digital hearts.
We live in a world where our own satisfaction is fabricated.
Still we move on, cold and empty.
Sever yourself.
Set yourself free.
Our footprints are left in the sand.
Our lives are left in the hands of a king, a lord, a god.
Ephemeral bouts of elation.
Self-indulgent liberation.
Our words are engraved on the wall.
A euphoric leap with a ruinous fall.
Crash down to earth with your social dependence.
Embrace the delight of a new-found transcendence.
Sever yourself.
Set yourself free.
