a brief history of the future
Singer:starset
this place is a desert for the mind
void of emotion and barren of thought
most minds here have long since atrophied from lack of use
it waited flatlined for the next rushing jolt of synthetic stimulation
the real world can't compare
even if it were allowed to
the real world leads to seeing the world for what it is: a prison
all my life i've been a prisoner
cowering at the idea that i might be capable of unique thought
terrified of what my only instincts might lead to
so how could i blame them?
but it hasn't always been this way
