strive for mediocrity hold the truth "we are one in just the same" but you're broken, you are the enemy nothing to prove except for nothing in itself keeping dry, keeping dry now with such a prophecy you can drop and discard all the dreams you may have had for the dead, for the simplicity for recycled distant memories, so bland keeping dry, keeping dry more of you showing through open mind rise and shine among the barely breathing among the once so desperate slaves you sat and watched the night sky in fear of open space. and undetermined thoughts galaxies and stars made you wish for womb eternal the broken image of your heart and in your hands such limited potential: unjust yrd gnipeek flesti ni gnihton rof tpecxe evorp ot gnihton ymene eht era uoy, nekorb re'uoy tub "emas eht tsuj ni eno era ew" hturt eht dloh ytircoidem rof evirts.

your profit is a lie abundance does not exist in order to take someone must give for every dollar you make reach in, pull the bread from the gut of a starving child now smile...now smile...now smile how fucking vile. you are in denial you associate happiness with a place that is drowning in bile sell your soul for a place that is based on hate seperation, and lies now smile...now smile...now smile how fucking vile. your own blood is not the only blood on your hands! you are just another link on the chain, just another link on the chain the chain that chokes this world the chain that chokes this world! shame: is stepping on others to rise to the top shame: is fucking the earth for a corporate job your own blood is not the only blood on your hands

What precious memories we weave to be overanalyzed and complicated to be inspected deep for flaw to be torn for fear of entrapment what precious memories we weave to be burned for fear of disease. What precious memories we weave to be cursed for justification the warmest breath of the coldest shoulder I drown in a sea of potential reasoning what precious memories we weave bittersweet umbilical defeat. Torture: the lack of response. Each day is an open door lingering in the hall of forgotten homes we wait for transgression to bring us closure Torture: the lack of response. Wait for the impact but it never comes around. Wait for the impact but it's lost and never found. There's a hope, it is swinging I can see it way up high hallucinations of a better tomorrow those self-induced little white lies. Just can't seem to give it up somethin's gotta give lost among the waves pull me in. and the ties that bind disintegrate linger in the air a formless, sunken feeling like something once was there. to pull me out.

We put locks on all the doors we let our fear reign as lord god we got to pray to keep us safe just give em' hell, give us faith because we hold fear, we hold truth steady now, don't make a move... steady now... All else fall down- to hell, hell He's got something, she's got something, you've got something up your sleeve, and.... I hold myself, I lie in wait I hold my tongue, I hesitate What is casting these shadows? All else fall down. Follow. Fear is why I follow.
