Cognitive Dissonance
04:18
|
|||
You deem it worthy
Your actions aren't contrite
Not much longer will you last
When all you feast upon is spite
You take with one hand
While shitting in the other
Upon your own filth
You will smother
When belief and desire conflict
The tension will rise
You can feel it
Acidic sick
The light left your eyes
Cognitive Dissonance
In the wake of your once and for all
With the flames of mistakes licking up the remains of your soul
For the sake of the end
And oppressed
Follow no man
Just clean up your fucking mess
Standing dangerously close
To the edge
Towing the line that you've crossed before
Nothing but the shell of a human
Shattered on the lips of demise
Take a bow at your final
Curtain call
I call it consequence
Cognitive dissonance
You can change your perception
Reality as malleable as you can bend it
Everyone is a villain in another's story
So be the hero in your allegory
In the wake of your once and for all
With the flames of mistakes licking up the remains of your soul
For the sake of the end
And oppressed
Follow no man
Just clean up your fucking mess

Paradox
03:42

Save your patriotism
For the souls of
Forgotten wars
Say your prayers
Into the night
For the ones who died
But continue to lose the fight
Learn from the mistakes
Of our past
Or be condemned to relive it
Surely I'm not the only one
Sick of spinning my wheels
It's all so twisted and jaded
Some kind of ass-backwards paradox
The paradox of tolerance
To be intolerant of intolerance
You can't respect an opinion
That is fueled by elitism
Step down from your
Imaginary podium
Equal grounds for those who
Bleed red
Somewhere we lost
our inner child
Wild is the thought
That there was a moment
in our lives
Where hatred was unknown
The only thing we sought
Were friends to build and play
Another human to create with
To deploy our freedoms
That is the whole fucking reason
Caught all for naught
Funny how the ghosts
Now linger and taunt
You can't reason with hatred
For the sake of hatred
There is no progress
For those not willing to learn
So give out the wake up call
The paradox of tolerance
To be intolerant of intolerance
Or be pushed into the safe space
By the tolerant
The race of humans
Is exactly just that
Human
You can't reason with Hatred
For the sake of hatred
There is no progress
For those
NOT
WILLING
TO
LEARN
So give out the wake up call
Reciprocate their reflections
upon them
Let the whole world know
Blind hatred isn't welcome here
Make them feel the terror
Of their own actions
There is love for the hated
Punishment for supremacy
The wrongs can be put right
Before it's too late

I won't sleep tonight
There's too many
Whispers on the wind
Tales of the forgotten souls
Still so real to themselves
But still opaque and alone
You've gotta find a way to say goodbye
Close the chapter of energy left behind
Leave the ones who no longer serve you
Not everyone deserves to know
The real you
The real you
And I thought that the sleepless
Would lend an ear
Life eachother up from the
Shallows of fear
Here's one for the stricken
Let's sing a song for the damned
We're one in the same
So let's light the flame
Burn this motherfucker down
I won't sleep tonight
There's too many
Whispers on the wind
Tales of the forgotten souls
Still so real to themselves
But still opaque and alone
You've gotta find a way to say goodbye
Close the chapter of energy left behind
Mmmmhmmmm
Leave it all
Leave it all
And I thought that the sleepless
Would lend an ear
Lift eachother up from the
Shallows of fear
Here's one for the stricken
Let's sing a song for the damned
We're one in the same
So let's light the flame
Burn this motherfucker down
Burn it down
I'll take it
I'll twist it
I'll burn it all to the ground
I'll take it
I'll twist it
I'll burn it all to the ground
Burn it all to the ground

The monster inside
Death of self loathing
Rebirth through
Consciousness suicide
Meeting in the middle
Just to watch
It all dwindle
Down a wrong path
Which we were never
Supposed to go
The liven'd ones
Are the spirited ones
Individuals in their precision
They do it for the glam
Put another body on the slab
Another body for incision
Disinformation
Ignorance
Bliss from the divine
Narcissistic
To think that you
Are the only ones
Left crying
What do you remember
Behind the gates
Of your mental block
How loud is
The metronome
Of your internal clock
Time is nothing
To the spirit
Living their
Multiple lives
Learning in
Every dimension
Disinformation
Ignorance
Bliss from the divine
Narcissistic
To think that you
Are the only ones
Left crying
What do you remember
Behind the gates
Of your mental block
How loud is
The metronome
Of your internal clock
Time is nothing
To the spirit
Living their
Multiple lives
Learning in
Every dimension

Exhumed

Round and round it goes
Taking all the names
Of every motherfucker
That I know
When you're sick
You hide it quick
Before they pickup the scent
For once they do
Then it all comes crumbling
Crumbling, tumbling down
Take a look and get lost in space
Nebulas to wrap you up
The ships come down to suck you up
Lights come on that hypnotize
Light come on that hypnotize
But real eyes
Realize
Real lies
So is that all that you've got to say?
An empty eye that takes the breath away
Lost in a lonely downward spiral
Good luck finding someone
To take you after
To take you after
The kingdom will fall
Everything is eventual
Find a place to go
Succumb to the natural unknown
Find a deeper meaning
Find a better truth
Dive down and be you
Find a deeper meaning
Find a better truth
Dive down
And be the eternal you
Finding the edge of time
Where reality crumbles
Into the folds of light
Where will you choose to go?
Where will you choose to go?
Where will you choose to go?
Take a look and get lost in space
Nebulas to wrap you up
The ships come down to suck you up
Lights come on that hypnotize
Light come on that hypnotize
But real eyes
Realize
Real lies
The kingdom will fall
Everything is eventual
Find a place to go
And succumb
To the natural unknown
Find a deeper meaning
Find a better truth
Dive down and be you

Trophy

It's a dangerous happening
A tale as old as time
The bullshit
Hypocrisy
Sorry excuse for a human
The worlds worst pantomime
There is no room for your kind
Your mental capacity rivals dog shit
Outdated ideology
Intelligence levels are hard to find
I'll use it as motivation
The words spill from my lips
Before I can even spit them
You say it's to be expected
Some people even say
We ask for it
But I don't hear anyone
Asking you
To take your dick out
And whip it
It's time to rise
Rise
Do no harm but take no shit
When equality is issued
Then that's the day we'll quit
It's time to rise
Rise
Do no harm but take no shit
When equality is issued
Then that's the day we'll quit
You say it better
With nothing at all
You say it better
With nothing at all
You say it better
With nothing at all
Fuck
You say it well
Better when you say nothing at all

Why
Are we persecuted
And judged
For
For taking god to task
This isn't a passive state of worship
You can either
Become a god
Or sit around
And wait
For fairy tales
To come true
I'd rather believe in myself
Than hang on to the words
Of someone like you
At least there is
A real sense of
Stability
No longer relying
On your credibility
I am the fire on water
The undoing of your conditioning
The shadow that lurks
In the balance
Forget all
That you have known
Embrace the remembrance
Answer the calling
Of purpose
No longer obsequious
Even gods are mercy
To the fates
Time to shut up and pay up
Coincidental consequence
Watching the light of hope
Leave a child's eye
When that's what
Brought forth your
Demons in
the first place
Revert
Back to
The simple
Binary
Complicit in complacency
Pretending that we rotate
While we are stationary
Envelope the duality
Soon they all will crack the code
Leave all the ash post haste
Leaving no breath of fresh air
For the rest of humanity
For
The rest of
Humanity
Leaving no breath of fresh air
No longer
Obsequious

Hail Yourself
03:33
|

So we don our digitized armor
In hopes to someday matter
Maybe change our perception
Create our own reality
Live a life of truth
Pay none of your time
Give none of your thought
To false idols
Highlight reels
Of the social media
Comparisons
Well dig yourselves
A little deeper
Idealization
Feel it all
Getting a little steeper
You are your own
Hail yourselves
Give breath to your will
Unravel your path
Give what you can
Be the light you wish to instill
So we don our digitized armor
In hopes to someday matter
Maybe change our perception
Create our own reality
Live a life of truth
Comparisons
Well dig yourselves a little deeper
Idealization
Feel it all getting a little steeper
You are your own
You are your own
Hail yourselves
Give breath to your will
Unravel your path
Give what you can
Be the light you wish to instill
You are your own
So hail yourselves
