Adam Outlnd - Acting Fools

Strides in hedonism and efficiency mean our smoking, phone and food bring cancer we don't wanna see
Won't we do anything but face ourselves, reality
Smoke some dope, pop a pill, feel bombastic
Whatever it takes to keep yourself distracted
Confuse love with boobs and ass, especially plastic
Say bombastic, hit Insta for likes like you Mista Fantastic
While your soul rots inside you like a walking casket
Too many in this world today are just fighting for survival
Unlike refugees others choose to drown, in highs and alcohol
Constant noise of empty music, sex, tv series, games
Sports, party, workout, shop like it'll satisfy your pain
Yet we're proud of all these ways that we been covering our eyes
Cowardly addictions of distraction that we should despise
You know, ditching truth like our water bottles, feeling no guilt or sorrow
Too selfishly blind today to face the consequence tomorrow

Don't mean to sound dramatic, but we're acting fools
Too busy attempting vanity to admit the truth
World's melting, burning, dying and where do we go
Deny, hide, hate what contradicts ego

Truth is we love to hate and blame, even feel proud in doing it
As if it's honorable not cowardly to rather yell, shoot or bomb than listen
Angry rampages on the internet with people you ain't met
But you don't want to listen, understand, but yet think you're a hero
Shouting your incomplete opinion, empathy level zero
Same time becoming more and more like leeches
Just looking for what to take from each of us
While we despise humility
Only state that brings clarity
Healthier life perspective/philosophy
To see the holes in purpose and identity
No wonder depression's spreading faster than any wildfire
We got no clue or even a desire to know who we are, why we're here, or where's the real joy
Now even embracing broken mental health like show and tell prized toys
But you don't wanna fight for better
Claim a label, say it's nature
Intolerantly scream intolerance, as if tolerance is love, not enforced passiveness
To be offended by everything means you're weak and insecure
A warrior, nah, you know your life's true nature
You're the one selecting filters
You're the one skewing the standards

Don't mean to sound dramatic, but we're acting fools
Too busy attempting vanity to admit the truth
World's melting, burning, dying and where do we go
Deny, hide, hate what contradicts ego

Look around at our world, how long you think we got left
Potential countdown's on, so will you leave your days to theft
Will you do what actually matters, wake up and be alive
Or sacrifice your days and soul to trash that lies it satisfies
See normal's proved toxic, so why strive for normal
Tell me the state it's brought us is anything short of horrible
So what's the only thing that matters, why don't we ask the dying
No not you, but those who lived their lives, look back with regrets or smiling
Who did you love, how did you love, and did you live it well
So will we choose to learn and live this truth or lose our lives to Hell
