This reality cripples us, leaves us mamed, our five physical phrophets lead us astray. Through my hatred i rise in flame, i swear to live another way To do what makes you happy, a simple vision, persecuted by every religion. A dog that will not chase the stick, institutionalised, then rehabilitated with a kick. Defects from the human production line, riddiculed, never given a chance to shine. I eludicate this point to you, are you kind? look again, ignorant and blind.

dearest, its about the fact that we are not allowed to live the way we want because someone else has an idea on how it should be done

(line 5) religion restricts the things that makes one happy
(line 8) someone who dosent want to follow set rules is made to do so
(line 10) cripples are constantly persecuted
