Promise me nothing. I'll expect the same at best. This ain't no test.
I'll be buried with the rest. Call it a waking. The four winds blowing in all sides.
River running through your mind. Shelter here within eye. The swiftest dagger and
the maker bites his tongue. Dying to be loved on a journey back to dust.
Mouth without mind. Tongues that race without repress. Unconscious mess.
No passion or sacred quest. Solace is coming. Soon their hearts will all breathe love
and rise above. Like pillars under the sun.
All faith in man is washed away.
A virus drowns their thoughts with plague.
The wicked rule in the wickeds game.
What light that's left is hidden in shame.
Attention to where you're putting your energy.
Attention to words the sentence is leaving you.
Attention to whys the question is who are you.
Attention to time your patience is beating you.
Humble the slave of modern day.
For a system failed in every way.
Intrepid moves direct and true.
A restless mind calloused and blue.
Attention to now this moments serenity.
Attention to how this moment will carry you.
Attention to where your footsteps are leading you.
Attention to breath your spirit is freeing you.
Lower your head in shame. Never forget where you came.
Regardless of what's been said. Your actions have spoken instead.
Desire the disease the lie. Only the strong could survive.
Suductively shackled embrace. Seducing the mind with a taste.
All faith...
Attention...

Shedding of skin.
Shedding of skin. Parting ways with the old. No room for drama. Fed up with excuses.
My kindness abused. An easy target. Your reasoning shallow. What could have been.
Only a mask of my making. Eliminate the doubters. The selfish designers.
Using the selfless to gain. Shame on me for removing my blinders. Seeing things how they are.
Am I to blame when the bending finally breaks?
And to the ungrateful. The pleasures been mine. I won't harbor hatred that sucks my life.
Before I depart here. One thing you should know. The fruits from a victim won't nourish your soul.
See no distinction. Your heart as mine. The courage to fear. Worthless severe. Fatigued Bond of hope.
Confusing inner scope. Share with me no less. Pounding hearts confess.
Am I to blame...
Cower not to your words as weapons. Unmoved by the glares of heathens.
Sitting here in silent memory. Searching for that glimpse of clarity.
Am I to blame...

Cold black plague. All in vain. All will be around you.
Smiling all the way. Auto da fe'. As a force that moves you.
Do you really wanna know this? Do you really wanna see?
Do you really know you're blind by all you believe?
Do you really want a process? Do you wanna see faith?
Do you really wanna take these things to your grave?
Happy ever after and the shadows on you. Whole is where the heart is.
Raindrops fill spaces till all is wet. Tease the thoughts you sow. Remember to forget.
It is not of your goals. This path of mystery. The preperation of souls.
Spinning of webs to be. What light is found in darkness? What power found outside you?
What guidance do you need to dance in hearts only whisper?
All has been taken. The martyrs want my blood. I remember where I begun.
All is just righteous. Till the fingers on you.The guilletine slams down fast you'e through.
Raindrops fill...
I once was me. I once believed. I once could see no wrong. I once was taught.
I once could feel. I once did feel so strong.
Clothed in vanity. Blind insanity. Bound by tragedy.
Cursed by clarity. Lost in parody. Vile calamity.
It is not of your goals...
Cold black plague...
Raindrops...
Yeah. Is there anything you're not gonna bitch about?
Your negative spreads like wild fire.
You know everything and nothing. We accept but can't forget.
Stop your bleeding. So easy fingers point. I close my eyes and drift away.
I once was me...
Clothed in vanity...

Good Morning. Good morning I wake to a storm. Drifting like spirits through common and norm.
Always explore the insides the out. Clearing up vision and sweeping out doubt.
Breathing in life and living it well. Dealing with bullshit and angels that fell.
Good Evening. Good evening the suns sinking low. Parting lke waters so your mind can flow.
Karmic the comics cosmic the divine. While kundalini's rising up your spine.
No hiding from self ego peels away. Laft standing naked separate from mans portray.
Moon. Follow where I go. If I'm indoors you wait outside and glow.
Sun. Shine on everyone. From this place I've only just begun.
No hiding from self...
Moon...
Breathing...

Who would know me if I cut you for fun?
Your backwards thinking till everything comes undone.
Who would hear you if I cut off your tongue?
Exit inside. The time is passing. The answer is within the storm.
Excel in pride. For change is constant. Only the moment to achieve.
Who would know you if you cut me for fun?
My backwards thinking till everything comes undone.
Who would hear me if you cut off my tongue?
When messages come in waves they slip into your brain.
Just a fragment of all. As is the leaves that fall.
Open and you'll incline. The present feels just fine.
I feel the need to grow in the moment I will go.
Who could stop us if we chose to move on?
The lack of reason in a world of disgust.
Who could stop us if we killed them with love?
Burn. Burn it down. Flames bring it to the ground.
Bleed. Bleed again today. Only theater remains.

Credit. Burn it to the ground. Lender. By his ways you're bound.
You will know what is real.
Cleansing. Cleansing of the mind. Wake up to realize you're blind.
You will know how this feels.
Cycle breaks to form a new. Shatters all you ever knew.
You will know.
Bless me father. Take all my pain away. Unveil the illusion. Production in its grace.
We walk upon murdered grasses and paved roads to make hard faces.
We talk about lost discussion and trade roles to fill void spaces.
Weighs me down this killer of me. Shadows my presence. Shatters my dreams like failure.
Corrupts my thinking. Turns off my heart. Turns my eyes outward. Body falls apart.
Lays me down this pillar of grief. Covers my essence. Covet my relief
Distorts my thinking. Turns off my heart. Turns my eyes outward. Body falls apart
We walk upon...

You will not know when I aproach and what's to be. I will not be cordial.
Physically drained. Sadness my pain. All that is not what it was.
Truth was distorted. Failure a friend to the end. Judgements a slow poisoning.
Only few will finish. This illusion of freedom. Didn't see the beginning of the end.
No hard feelings. The angel descends. Judgment of man. Covered in sin

Once upon a dream. I saw the day the light died in me. Forever to seek the eternal peak.
An infinite wait disgusted Irrate
Foolish to mourn the day. When life is abound
Passing you by I looked in your face. Barriers walls fear empty space. Tragic the system
The culture we yield. Hide among walls in coffins we build.
Follow but lead the way. Do without thought.
I bring them life all they see death. I give them light and they choose dark.
Bare me not another day with old eyes.
Reward in diligence in spite of you. Sing our silences.
I used to think you thought like me.
Every moment sacred. Only the true remain. Product of disdain. Instrument of pain.
And with heavy hearts we sing. Move on don't stop never faulter.
Everybody's time will come. Another chance to fail.
You're carrying all the weight. The burdens all you.
Reward in diligence...
Every moment...
As your time quickly passes. Swallowed whole by the masses. In that hole you will remain.
Farthest from love. Harvest of none.
Men not fit to lead us.
They all think they know the truth.
Be at one with perfection. Kings of hate have no direction. For in that hole they will remain.
Farthest from love...
There is no control.
So many ways. So few the days. Yet idle are many.
Dark are the days. Heavy with pain and broken are many.
Searching for wholeness in all the wrong places.
Compete in a world of false hope and false faces.
I move from experience to experience.

Water refine me. Distance secludes me. Power supress me. Thinking define me.
Death toll will rise as I sever my ties. I'm a lesion seeking a body.
No more mistakes. No more cut breaks. No remnants for those that forgot me.
You'll call it faithless. Yet scream for more.
You need this drama. It feeds your whore.
So here we are in the is of the soon. All that I beholds.
No love to last as I bury the past. I'm a servant without a savior.
Living with fate. Death is your date. I'm a serpent swallowed by anger.
You'll call it tasteless. Then beg for more.
No quinching this thirst. It's faith no more.
So here we are in the is of the soon. All that eye beholds.
Senses collide with a corrupted mind. I'm a bullet seeking a body.
Powerred by thought. Scabs on the heart. No reason for me to forgive you.
You'll call it...
All that I beholds
Speaking without words close no doors organize and execute
Self inflicted conscious wander no frame of time you and sleeping thoughts
I'm attracted hailed by something held by nothing me and distant thoughts
Something takes a hold being guided to break the mold
All that I beholds...
Speaking...
Self inflicted...
I'm attracted...
Now my tongue won't speak no more. Everythings been said before.
For the eye of heart is straight. Ride those feelings all the way.
All of that which eye beholds.

Disgust. The tasteless vision. Testing patience. To do what you have to. Another day, another death. I'm dying to get here. Under the wing of shadow. Try to do the right thing. But the wrong reverse me. So I vomit your name in vain. It magnifies my being.
Your sacred distracted. Thoughts of narrow cursed you.
You are the product. So be the weak. You can sell me all your bullshit cheap.
You sense my presence. I can't save you all.
I am the shepherd. You are the sheep. Bow your head and kneel before me.
Corrupt. Unthreatened menace. Preying weakness. To gain on the half truth. Another leech, another debt. We're buying into fear. Under the crutch religion. Try to choose the right thing. But the wrong perverse me. So I covet your name as pain. Justify my thinking.
Corrupt. Discust. In God we trust
You are the product...
Disgust the tasteless...
We're fucked.

Hey. You wanna be less than nothing. Keep on thinking you can't win.
Paid. Don't take your life for granted. Toss your burdens in the wind.
See through eyes of new beginnings. Never stopping at an end.
You want a fantasy. I'll take your life for free. You can have all you see.
If you'll just wear this blindfold for me.
What I say. You wanna pull out from reason when they're laughing in your face.
What's it take. To make the fake ones cower. Wave the truth into their face.
Wanna see if they can withstand the pressure when the victims don't hold back.
Now I see self. Earth is your wealth.
Waking up before the sun the while I wait might never come. I dream I climb evolve to die
expand retract take in give back.
Presence of death brings life to us all.
Servant of slaves till death makes you fall.
Vanity is this all we can recall.

Blind my eyes they see but blackness. Am I lost? Things that haunt were previously thought.
The fire cannot be wielded. Fear driven slave. Think it is so. I becomes we. Everything is in time.
Endless music in you. The heart cannot be shielded. Screaming silent grave.
Madness stirring deep within. Enraptured by the words of men.
Your actions. Everything has choice. Lack Focus. A muffled inner voice.
In life there is no control. In death you're on your own.
Losing and gaining control. The eye is wiser.
Breathe and play enjoy your stay. Before they come and take it away.
Swallow the moment invade their space. Heart wave burns deep into space.
Opportunity missed. Already away. Better judgement when seizing the day.
Dismiss me from failed decisions. Purposely hurt strategic incisions.
Shoveled the mess expect to progress. Learning to live with less.
Scared of the chance you might be confronted with an unplanned circumstance.
Watch a parasitic mind. Asleep through all alive.
The evening shuts their eyes and they can dream again.
Worlds apart from sane. All will fall away.
Walk amongst the blind and bare their scars sublime.
Fragile. So many ways to die. Broken by the faith in lies.
System. Gonna burn it down. The present is all that matters now.
Watch...
Bitterness forming opinions hastily just leave it be.
Constantly put in your path it matters not what you think of me.
Change your thinking sever ties of doubt just passing through.
Unattached to blame outsmart the game focus on what's true.
Find it hard to dictate everybody's mood.
Message unheard deceiving the word I'll go mute.
