Thoughts, ideas, hopes, ambitions
  Sincere in declaration
  Or merely token gestures?
  
  Think for a minute...
  
  The pressures we emphasize
  Are pressures we all have to bear
  And opinions and feelings we should be able to share
  
  But are we slowly crawling up our own arse?
  
  Has the influence drawn from positive expression
  Now lost it's strength to external tips on fashion?
  
  And if our music serves as a means of communication
  Why should so much emphasis stem from competition?
  
  Slow down and think...
  
  Are our hearts still there?
  Is enthusiasm burning?
  Has integrity surpassed
  The stage of reviving?
