Take Note!

Write this down!
My conscience is a spiral
Of taking notes, a paper trail
Deception casts the shadow
Shallow masking men of power
Would you believe the words they say?
Or nap the fever to its core
Though I won't hear the whisper
That separate the rich from poor
Reach through the liars,
And find your desires,
Created equal but not true
In an instant fleeting persistent,
Told we could never fill their shoes,
This world belongs to us now,
The old have strayed the way for young
I beg your ears for an instant
Heard teaching motions have begun
Taught straight to disassemble
Motion capped what use to be a soul
If you’re so smart you hear them
Why do you always run?
So scared and fault complacent
Beseeched with pictures and cartoons
If lessons take a beating
I want to see flesh black and blue
Reach through the liars,
And find your desires,
Created equal but not true
In an instant fleeting persistent,
Told we could never fill their shoes,
This world belongs to us now,
The old have strayed the way for young
I beg your ears for an instant
Heard teaching motions have begun
If war is just what you want
We’ll give you something to record
Good luck and try to palm mute
Open hand, closed fist, and ignored
Won’t be ignored
Not with this, not with this,
My conscience is a spiral
Of taking notes, a paper trail
Deception casts the shadow
Shallow masking men of power
Would you believe the words they say?
Nap the fever to its core
Though I won’t hear the whisper
That separate the rich from
Reach through the liars,
And find your desires,
Created equal but not true
In an instant fleeting persistent,
Told we could never fill their shoes,
This world belongs to us now,
This world belongs to us
This world belongs to us now,
This world belongs to us
This world belongs to us now
The old have strayed the way for young
This world belongs to ### ###, now

Euthanize these feelings
I’m running out of steam
Count to three and close your eyes
Recollect everything you see
Is this a passing motive?
Is this a pertinent show?
Sitting and sliding sideways
Deeper in the bullet hole we gooooo
Gooooo , straight up
Mistakes made twice
Hold the assumption
I’ve paid it once
Torn the bill to peaces
Lessons
Are hardly worth caring for
Loosen up
And mesh the images
We
See
This stack of bones
It lays behind the walls of white
As simple as it seems
Lust is what holds the
Handle that you use to sling the dirt
And now
Blinded with the sands inside
This hour glass
Are tilted
And parted
To entertain the guests
They are arriving
And now
Answer the dooooor
Knock Knock Knock
Knock Knock Knock
Knock Knock Knock
Knock, Knock
Count back from three
And recollect what was just shown
Did you see the motive?
Is it meaningful now?
Did you see the motive?
Is it meaningful now?
Is it meaningful now?
Sitting and sliding sideways
Deeper in the bullet hole we go
Mistakes made twice
hold the assumption
I've paid it once
torn the bill to pieces
Standing and griping upwards
Climbing out
Pushing up
Making moves
We know,
Loosen up
And mesh the images
We
See
Loosen up
and mesh the images
we
see
Leave your mind aside

Ooooohhhh
If I had more years,
I would act the way
I always speak
Getting just one clock
At least see this
prize to fill
what is kept
Breathing in us all
seem to follow, wrong
even with the notice
Tired and degrading
So far and yet so long
I found a way
to distance
fighting off
your tin soldiers
strength means less
cause means more
touch what isn't meant
for your filthy hands
ohhhhhh
you're right
I'm digging out
where I put myself
when I choose to fall
I found it again,
I'm standing
the tip passing,
of single, pressed within
a cause to win
I'm ready
Ready for you to sell me
it's not right
you're screaming
screaming for
seconds added to life
desperate clash,
shattered all
If I get lucky
proper dots on this roll
when life changes
it appoints
the masses to conform
when the world stops
when our eyes cast
and when we all stop
killing each other
ill taste,
the breast of mother nature
take a second
never let the guard
sleep his watch
closed and in
not screaming
sold the copy rights
a cause to win
I'm ready
Ready for you to sell me
it's not right
you're screaming
screaming for
seconds added to life

All in speaks to me,
Like it knows my name,
Take too long to drink
And fascination fades
A point of view,
Is just your ego,
The pills you take
Won’t cure,
Memory
You'll see it in that place
Built for forgotten
And chase the last
Words that were emotion
Let’s feed the cattle
And create no more
Let’s tear desire
From your needs
Once building motion
Became your end
Now you belong (Revenant)
All men dream but not equally, those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity, but the dreamers of the day are a dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible, This I did.
I feel this isn't a part of
What we yearn for
I feel this isn't a portion of
What we could be
Please ask more questions
Please lift more people up
Take no excuses
And find a means
Speak to me, know my name
Let's feed the cattle and create no more,
Lets tear desire from your needs,
Lets tear desire,
Lets tear desire,
Lets tear desire from your needs.

Farewell
04:40
|

I’ve had my share of falling out,
Disappointed my presence to understanding
I take responsibility now,
In a choice, that was made for me
Giving thanks, lasting too laaaaaate
Is what marks this
old intention?
Disrupt the flow, and use three words
You were the pressure I so need
At last the moments gone
And I think back to when you left me
Resituate the point,
when you decide
I deserved a second chance
They couldn’t take my answers
But you read me like an idea
Not distaste but actual feeling
The love is there, even when you’re gone
The love is there, even when you’re gone
I was my darkest fortress,
And the addiction lacked the courage,
The false attempts at living,
The brave recoil of tension
Cast out from all I knew,
Adopted by the best of us
The best of life, truth in notion
As I carry on
I pray these simple words and notes
Will rise to your position
You’ll hear them with your heartbeat
And know
It’s easy, I breathe
I dream
I’m alive
Because of you
Believing life is made of choices,
I was deaths first pick,
But you won the coin toss
With strength behind your smile
Leaning towards love
It’s just a word
But the result
is still the same
I’m still the same
I pray these simple words and notes
Will rise to your position
You’ll hear them with your heartbeat
And know
It’s easy, I breathe
I dream
I’m alive
Because of you
I’m alive because of you
Farewell

Love told me once,
I could be anything in this world
I could spot a liar, from distances away
Did these words make sense,
when you heard my cries
wear the collar, to make this peace and kindness
fall away when left, to existence
Be safe if
you can't escape
your useless end
I will take what's mine,
and leave the rest to the filter,
that sifts through, your bullshit
changing the way that I move
changing the way that I think
changing the muscles, that move
when, I, breathe, in
burning the hole
burning the fabric
flawed from the start,
evil doesn't exist
And I leave this precipice, behind
Easy to change at the sight of, history
All the years of violence, makes us right
Or is simply that we,
all want power
we simply are what nature intended
human, for the sake of, being human
crushed into, a mold of currency
Right, Wrong
Background noise, to the voice behind your eyes
break through, break something,
All the pieces aren't intended to fit
Life's not a game of puzzles,
you can't track it down with ink
Life is short and sad, the only winners are the men
who seize their own, giving, side
And I leave this precipice, behind
Easy to change at the sight of, history
All the years of violence, makes us right
Or is simply that we,
all want power
We all want power
Right, Wrong
Sadness, Happiness
Life, Death
Beginning, end

Are We The People?

Yeeeaa stuck
Now
I can't be me
I can't see the world
The way it was meant to be seen
Fake glass
Fake image of the
eyes
At last, at least
preamble in folly
More to learn
More to dread more to lay back
The pockets deeper thaaaan
I own
wheeeeennnnn
Cast of cooper
you're a bid
we're a bid for
theeeemmmmm
the royal they
the folly is no names
the ruse is no blame
swimming underneath
did you forget to breathe
what is this air?
don't elaborate
Won't be on my way just yeeet
list forward and whisper
the liquid in my ears
you're shallow
what I swallow in spite
you're empty
the story ends, we die
We doubt
We die
we die in doubt
All of us infected
all of us received
So why am I the Only One Who Knows Your Game
Again
Can't be me
At last see the world
How it was meant to be seen
Fake glass
Fake image of the
eyes
Preamble in strife
More to hope more to take back
your pockets empty then
Comparing the Feelings of Remembering
Knowing the pressure Is our gain
If I could lay them down and simply walk away
There's high chance you'll trip me when I turn
And, Still I turn
