Travelogue (free) 02:59
the urban man travels walking through trees of infinite energy strapped tight to a soul of conscious and unconscious thought he journeys through the hallowed abandominiums of space and time the wanderer is completely unaware of his mystical nature blinded by temporal concerns, he stares up at the ceiling awaiting the sleepful rebirth he so desperately hopes to avoid this gentleman is confused repeatedly falling short of his own faith held beliefs nothing seems to sooth his suffering he becomes enticed by delusional illusions injecting heartache falling prey to the snare of infatuation sex drugs and rock and roll all leave the wandered ravaged with unfulfilled impetus he redoubles his efforts to close the void he gets lifted he gets small he goes down he eats out he plays out he works the crowd he gets so out of his mind, he tricks himself to believing the world is a fucked up place the wanderers mistrust of society reflects his own insecurity insecure like a cat in a cradle disturbed by his self loathing unable to change the wanderer finally admits that he is lost i am no more an individual then you are we have been socially constructed little do we know, how little we know
