High Standard

Standing in the emptiness with no direction

Being observed by people, expecting perfection

Mind and soul are programmed with high standard

Every movie is scrutinize by overprotective wards

They force you to play by their rules, their game

Disregarding those who will put you in shame

Living this life is like living with demons

Evil beast injecting pills of hallucinations

Staying inside their zone will lead you nowhere

Struggle now or say life is not fair later

Untangle the misdirection, aim for freedom

And live simpler life in your own small kingdom
