(You Think You're) John Fucking Locke

The most common insecurity is our destination after our conscious fades away.

The biggest factor in how one molds their existence,

Is nothing more than a distraction from what is really important;

Who we are in the present.

I know in my heart the life i lead now means more to this world,

Than any "reward" i may receive after death.

I know this to be the truth.

I refuse to sacrifice the life

That i've been given in the hopes of something greater,

When all i need is right in front of me.

Because i believe in man, i believe in myself, and nothing else.

I can't put my faith in uncertainty.

While there's still no proof of validity amongst the old familiar pages,

Which to me are nothing more than fucking words.

I will choose life over faith, and i will put my trust back in myself.

And then i'll be free.

Together we can eliminate the worry and the fear

From the minds and hearts of our fellow man.

I know in my heart who i need to be.
