Drifting

Drifting
but yet still standing still
Escaping
but yet I stay home
Revolutionizing
but yet I work for the status quot

I have freed and saved the world
four times over in my mind
but cant save myself from loneliness
I've dated only the finest and purest of women
and dreamt of love in far away places
but I don't even date around my home
I plan to start my own business
and made my city become world class
but continue to work mind-numbing jobs
I've conquered the west
and freed Africa of colonialism
but yet fail to read about my own culture
I've drank the finest wines
stayed at the most luxurious locations
but until a month ago, I still shared a room
I have a villa in southern Italy
and a loft in Rio
but I haven't left my hometown in years

because
I am...

Drifting
but yet still standing still
Escaping
but yet I stay home
Revolutionizing
but I still work for the status quot
