It is all very different from
What they make it seem.
We’re promised to be made rockstars
And own billion dollar companies
From people who’ve long
Given up on such dreams.
It’s all bundled up in their records
Somewhere, and in their journals
To stim their self-esteem.

Put on your favorite talk
Show or open up a magazine,
Or simply go out for a walk
And hear the world’s quietude scream,
And you can’t help but know that
It is all very different from
What they make it seem.
