Speaking to a candle, lit
The language of creation
Developing from chaotic
The looking glass is rippling
Novel forms, Symbolism
Selectively retaining
A fragmented realization
Attaching my own meaning
I've become apprentice to everything since aspiring to nothing
The anteroom of outer space
Same as the inner sanctum
Arena where I cultivate
The spell of my attention
Another side of prophecy
Apprenticing the mystery
Cast and abandoned
Severing from pressurized incentive
I've become apprentice to everything since aspiring to nothing
Waves of change
Constructing, Deconstructing
All the same
Remorseless rebalancing of energy
The lurker in the median
Disapproval blocking
The threshold to remembering
Self preservation watching
Anybody listening?
My mind working against me
Threatened insecurity
Is asking am I worthy?
I've become apprentice to everything since aspiring to nothing
Waves of change
Constructing, Deconstructing
All the same
Preserving arbitrarily as memory
We are more than our mental intrusions
Guided by the compass of desire
Awakening from our mass confusion
To tether the present, past and future
I've become apprentice to everything since aspiring to nothing
Waves of change
Constructing, Deconstructing
All the same
Elusive, begin again, I'm listening
Divided by the perceived flaws of our expression
Contentment opposite the lie of separation
The truth in pieces as part of a greater lesson
That will reveal itself to those who dare to seek it
A book, unbound, words of a language that doesn't exist

The Doubt
05:42
|

Self realized prophecy
Your fate is a road you pave
What is the point of idealism, anyway?
Subjected to live in shadow
Time to use you against you
Trouble never seems to leave you for too long
By tomorrow defeated
Can't keep the dark from exploring you as well
Serenity in chaos
Failure comforts you, so you retreat
If the past knows anything
You'll feed the doubt
Broken compass in the mind
Maybe disregarded foresight
Oh did you let you down again?
Something always has to be the matter
Time to use you against you
Trouble never seems to leave you for too long
By tomorrow defeated
Can't keep the dark from exploring you as well
Serenity in chaos
Failure comforts you, so you retreat
If the past knows anything
You'll feed the doubt

Circular Reasoning

Say that life won't let you live
A religion on its own
The bad dreams keep you from sleep
And that’s all you'll ever know
Save the pain to make you feel
Loneliness keeps you alone
Fated, let the darkness swell
Hide away and mock the sun
So many words I lost in the
One sided conversation
Just waiting for a response from
Those choosing not to listen
Say it's safer in denial
Surrendered all autonomy
Gaslight on in your house of mirrors
Quarter for sabotaging beliefs
Haunted by questions never asked
The old fortress of self pity
Where you play the victim well
Wrapped in your numbness afraid to heal
So many words I lost in the
One sided conversation
Just waiting for a response from
Those choosing not to listen
Not inspired to defend the actions of ignorance patterning
Blame the maps you won't discern, the roads you won't navigate
Marry to your disbelief, past fighting this apathy
I can't break the anguish, for you don't think you don't deserve to see
Would you dive deeper in it?
Would you tie your foot to an anchor, say you're cursed to drown in puddles?
Fall into entropy, suffering helplessly harvesting empathy
Blaming the victim of suicidal tendency
Fall into entropy, suffering helplessly preying on empathy
Blaming the victim of suicidal tendency
(Stop dead in your tracks, blame the map)
Fall into entropy, suffering helplessly, gnawing on empathy
Blaming the victim of suicidal tendency
Fall into entropy, suffering helplessly lapping up empathy
Blaming the victim of suicidal tendency
Oh, so many words were buried in translation
And I'm waiting for nothing
You won't listen
So many words I lost in the
One sided conversation
Just waiting for a response from
Those choosing not to listen

The freaks with a premonition ran to the hills
The wives of your aspiration sleep with the winds
Vanity wrought from toil can not fill the chasm
We’re breathing acid snow, tasting of bravado
Error obvious, all around us curtains fall
Slave to anything, plug us in, give our all
Lie from death to life, waiting for life, ready for death
What could we have done, we're bickering between ourselves
Discarded prodigal
I rest my head down with the animals
Look back the time was wasted, I feel no guilt
A fair shake spent in chasing the petty thrills
We built this towering pyre, sealing our damnation
Now sift through the excess, searching for salvation
Error obvious, all around us curtains fall
Slave to anything, plug us in, give our all
Lie from death to life, waiting for life, ready for death
What could we have done, we're bickering between ourselves
Discarded prodigal
I bite my hand now for the cannibals
Restless minds are playthings for the devil
Idle hands, time slipping through the fingers
Fate of us discovered at the bottom
Earth infernal, out of touch with heavens tears
With heavens tears
Forgotten gods discard their prodigals
I rest my head down with the animals
Discarded prodigal
I bite my hand now for the cannibals

Experiment
04:58
|

|
Too afraid to abandon ship even though it's sinking
And we thought we had to pay our dues to this machine
My mistake, I let my mind give way to blind ambition
I can't accept that there's no one to blame for my submission
We're cynical in our echo chamber
Our observations from the bottom
But do we feel any better
Fed poison like an experiment
Just a rat in a lab environment
Do you stand for that
When greed threatens your freedom
Is it worth the price of convenience
You're under attack
The exhaustion dulled your reaction
Now you serve to their satisfaction
Deluded democrat
A movement fighting circumstance, plenty of years
And all we have are songs of rage that fall on deaf ears
We kick up dirt, we ruffle feathers for catharsis
After the noise we all are left dull and lethargic
And cynical in our echo chamber
Our observations from the bottom
But do we feel any better
Fed poison like an experiment
Just a rat in a lab environment
Do you stand for that
When greed threatens your freedom
Is it worth the price of convenience
You're under attack
The exhaustion dulled your reaction
Now you serve to their satisfaction
Deluded democrat
Crowds of muted voices
Crowds of muted voices
Crowds of muted voices
Crowds of muted voices feel alone
Crowds of muted voices feel alone
Crowds of muted voiced feel alone
Crowds of muted voices feel alone
And frightened roaches scatter in the light
Fed poison like an experiment
Just a rat in a lab environment
Do you stand for that
When greed threatens your freedom
Is it worth the price of convenience
You're under attack
The exhaustion dulled your reaction
Now you serve to their satisfaction
Deluded democrat
I don't want a nation of thinkers
I want a nation of workers
And you're part of the mass
