We're all members of a certain conformity,
But singled out for our abnormalties.
We're built up just to be pushed far down.
Heaven looks an awful lot like hell from this ground.

Why do we try so hard when at the end of the day
our dreams become tarnished mistakes we make.
We take the medicine they feed our lips.
We're just playing a part in their script.

We're mixed around and molded into one,
And it straps us in chains, no where to run.
All this must have you be thinkin'
Why can't we just be different?

Shaykul Islaam ibn Taymiyyah: It is sufficient to note that one of the effects of love of a member of the opposite gender is enslavement of the heart which is held captive to the loved one. So love is a door that leads to humiliation and servility. That is sufficient to put one off this sickness. [Majmoo&#039; al Fataawa 10/132]
