pretty much nothing
increasingly, i have come to realise how fake the world is. i guess reality is too difficult to bear and people choose to live in surrealism, dreams and facade. businesses capitalise on these things. vicious cycle ensues and eventually, people realise that they have been living a life of nothingness. sad but true. and i may possibly embark on the path of painting these rosy illusions for others. it's funny how something so wrong can be acceptable once more people start doing it. moreover, humans tend to be drawn towards pretty, packaged things. even if the backs of their minds tell them all have been staged and none of what they see/possess is real.
i shudder to think about how in a couple of years, the pursuit of the better paycheck is going to make me blind to the values and morales and what is fundamentally right. because i can see the erosion of my principles already. can i acheive what i want without sacrificing what i hold dear to my heart? can i live with the deceit and lies to achieve material wealth? am i going to justify my actions when i know that there is little reasons for actually doing so? will i be able to look myself in the mirror and truly be happy with who i have become?

Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
Stand up and be counted
Don't be ashamed to cry
You gotta be
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
You gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day
Herald what your mother said
Readin' the books your father read
Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time
Some may have more cash than you
Others take a different view
My oh my heh, hey
Don't ask no questions, it goes on without you
Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace
The world keeps on spinning
You can't stop it, if you try to
This time it's danger staring you in the face
Oh oh oh Remember
Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
My oh my heh, hey, hey
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
You gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day
