Anything, Anyone, Anywhere (a Social Commentary)

And there's something I need to come to terms with
I move too fast to have anything with anyone anywhere
But I wish I could make them see I've never been that close
That's what convinces me there's something else; not this, not that

And it's not in the, all of the, foul muck we can think up
I wish it was, but it's not
Because I don't want to follow the rules; no, I want to bypass them instead
Have my laughs at how stupid said terms were to begin with

But i don't think I can do that here
First, because the other parties involved won't see eye-to-eye with me
And then, there's the penetrating glances if we do get caught
Yeah, it's too much of a risk, I guess, but I'm not afraid to hide!

Then there's the lack of communication that plays its way into all of this
Yeah, I'm not even sure the ones who've run away even knew what they just ran away from
It's a much richer life, but the dreams of literature just don't shine through
But it's happened every time, so is it just the year I was born?

These rules were set in place by a man, a sibling of all of ours
He's never actually said a word, but we all know what he's said
Well, I was on one end of the spectrum once; reachiing over from the other's just as hard
It went too far once before, so, I guess, I'm kind of lucky it hasn't again yet

If you don't understand because I'm only speaking riddles, then, I guess, it wasn't something you were meant to do
This isn't who I am; I wish I could break through the glass encasing me
Watching people and deciding against it is hard, especially if the decision spits in your face
Am I allowed to bounce back and forth, experiencing all the in-betweens, during my stay here?

Well, I've not done it before and I might've started late
Self-condemning factors have come into play, but it's also what they all say
I want to see things for the beauty in them and not for something else
But now I'm in this place alone and what did I start out here to do?
