life for rent.

you rent opinions and borrow ideas and,
run from "i don't know's" when scared,
leave behind the values you once declared,
but you'll pay it back with your next paycheck.
don't risk, or it will be your bitten up neck.
sometimes i wonder at all of the lies,
you conceal your truth and find all the eyes,
too hot to handle the heat in their gaze,
rather sit out than fight through the maze.

well you're weak-hearted, as the lion says
lack the courage to find your own ways
hold to conformity and leave intuition
sink in the sea from your own inanition
molded in amber, no bright animation
take out the color to find your salvation

so you rent opinions and borrow ideas
and you pay your bills on time,
give back interest on all your loans,
as long as you don't have to make the climb.
