However It May End |
Oh it's looking like a lost cause
Beyond today
A code of confidence
Setting a precedent
Stay in a present state of mind
With no permanence
No matter of consequence
There's no future to rely
Designs that confine
Pressure til the end
All eyes will define
However it may end
Oh it's looking like a lost cause
Beyond today
Have no evidence
Acting in my defense
Of how the forces will align
While not in the present tense
Becoming evident
Of an eventual demise
Designs that confine
Pressure til the end
All eyes will define
However it may end
Designs that confine
Never to condemn
Forever to defend
However it may end
More scars appear on my face
Causing more scars in the future state
A lost cause of the past
Looking like a lost cause in the end

Zero Days |
No needs
Nothing to lack
No more dilemma
Wipe the slate clean
Of anything to remember
So much to be removed
Nothing to be improved
With no place left to be
Nothing left to see nor hear
Forever gone without a trace
Everything to be erased
Recede
Wave the white flag
No new agendas
Agree to turn it all back
To another era
Nothing more to lose
All will be renewed
With no place left to be
Nothing left to see nor hear
Forever gone without a trace
Everything to be erased
Nothing left to be
Nothing left to feel nor fear
Nothing left to ever save
No reason left to wait
Zero days
Out of options
The cancelation
Revelations here today
Zero days
Sum of actions
And complications
The subtraction
Judgement day
Out of options
The cancelation
Sum of actions
The subtraction
Judgement day
It's time to turn it back
It's time to reset the clock
Time for the acknowledgement
That its all for naught
And reach the final stop
Time for the establishment of the global plot

Off the Grid |
There's a solution
It has been defined
It has been proven
It all has been tried
With disillusion
I wish to resign
There's no confusion
It all has been put way behind
Have no illusion
Don't have to react
No more intrusion
No counterattack
There's no confusion
A resolution
I'm off the grid
Off the grid
Ramifications
Care less about your words
Off the grid
Out of it
The realization
Care less about the world
Self-realization at last
A restitution
I'm not undermined
With an infusion of presence of mind
Not in seclusion, no longer confined
It's an exclusion
Of everything that's been declined
Self-realization at last
I have surrendered at that
Part of this dream, apart from this nightmare
No one can tell me what it's all about
Whatever's real, whatever's falseness
I just keep waking, nowhere to be found
I have surrendered
Off the grid
Off the grid
I voice no concern
Don't care about your words
Off the grid
Out of it
None of your concern
Care less about your world

Divide and Conquer |
There's no relief
There's just regret
Want to forget
Just can't believe
Really don't want any part of this
Just another bad experience
But what's positive or negative
Maybe it's all just relative
You can't go through life without these conditions
Divide and conquer
You can always rely upon opposition
Faith and sorrow
You can't go on through life without some division
Divide and conquer
You are gonna do time inside your own prison
You only see what you gotta get
You cannot get what you cannot see
Always forced into compromise
Always have to make the sacrifice
Things are not what they seem to be
Living in a false reality
You can't go through life without these conditions
Divide and conquer
You can always rely upon opposition
Faith and sorrow
You can't go on through life without some division
Divide and conquer
You are gonna do time inside your own prison
Search for justice
Search for truth
Based upon your own values
Search for justice
Search for truth
Based upon your own values
Search for justice
Search for truth
Search for justice
Search for truth
You can't go on through life without some division
You are gonna do time inside your own prison
You can't go through life without these conditions
Divide and conquer
You can always rely upon opposition
Faith and sorrow
You can't go on through life without some division
Divide and conquer
You are gonna do time inside your own prison
Search for justice
Search for truth
Search for justice
Search for truth

Forced into Tolerance |
Inequity so rampant today
Unacceptable
Is what we expect
Forced into tolerance of what we disdain
The irrational is how we exist
Someone comes around and make some sense
They are labelled, then disgraced
Caught in the ignorance you try to explain
The ideology we must tolerate
Don't you dare tell me
Again you tell me
I don't care if you insist
Don't you dare tell me
Don't fucking (ever) tell me
That it is what it is
Forced into tolerance
Stupidity is trampling me
Unreprehensible
In its effect
Morphed into prevalence to what is proclaimed
It's the radical illegal success
I am shut down to protect my defense
But I'm disabled, I must abstain
With all indifference you have to refrain
The admirable is something to shame
Don't you dare tell me
Again you tell me
I don't care if you insist
Don't you dare tell me
Don't fucking (ever) tell me
That it is what it is
Forced into tolerance
Don't tell me that it is what it is

Interbeing |
Global ethics
Ignored on earth
The chasing of wealth and pleasures
Cause world despair
Poisons and toxins
What we're breathing
False ideas and attachments
That we believe
Mindful consumption
Nourish the seeds
Pure existence
Interbeing
With no indifference
End the suffering
Pure existence
Interbeing
The nutriment of consciousness
Patient and persistent minding all your steps
With all the tension to relieve
Causes and conditions rigidly
In an irritant environment
Conjure and consideration to reflect
Not many things for us to reach
A good amount of certainty, simplicity
Total wreckage
It will return
The racing to wrong endeavors
That's what's preferred
That we're facing
Shadowy schemes run rampant
We're under siege
From any attachment
With no indifference
May I be solid and free
Nourish the seeds
Be safe from injury
Free from any entrapment
End the suffering
Mindful consumption
Nourish the seeds
Pure existence
Interbeing
With no indifference
End the suffering
Pure existence
Interbeing

Blood Out of Stone |
I do believe that it will not change
I do perceive that I am not to blame
All of the remnants that are left inside
Fully function to my own demise
Call me, say I am manic
Installing the erratic
Starving of my inprovement
Stalling of any new movement
Implore me to dissolution
Ignoring
There's no solution
Don't call me so enigmatic
Ignore me
I won't have it
Tension is what has been building
Tension is what I've been feeling
Intervention
Don't know what is needed
Don't know what will stop the bleeding
Attention
Is that worth pursuing?
Apprehension
What am I achieving?
Don't know what will start the healing
Will you agree that this life is strange
Do you agree that it is all a game
At the junction, just can't decide
Make an assessment where to arrive
Exploring the problematic
Always unsympathetic
Crawling
I'm only human
Drawing the same conclusions
Recalling the illusion
Restoring all confusion
Longing for the dramatic
Warning you to panic
Tension is what has been building
Tension is what I've been feeling
Intervention
Don't know what is needed
Don't know what will stop the bleeding
Attention
Is that worth pursuing?
Apprehension
What am I achieving?
Don't know what will start the healing
I think it's impossible to help you get blood out of stone
Why am I responsible for saving yours, but not my own?
What gives you the right to feel untitled
To all the world and what it offers
What gives you the right to feel untitled
To all that it suffers?

Operation of the Moral Law |
You're given the gift of your own volition
Tenacity on course with determination
A passionate directive to receive
Audacity to go to the extreme
You got the gift of your own solution
With the consequence firmly your reject
In opposition to what's morally correct
Refuse to take responsibility
Then behave in hostility
Reason, the age of reason
Contemplate and profit
Operation of the moral law
In the age of reason
Concentrate deposits
Operation of the moral law
With reason
Given the gift of your own volition
Capacity for thought, your discrimination
A rational motive for belief
Ethical and motive to achieve
You got the gift of your own intention
Reason
Without reason

The Whispers |
Now the dark is hidden
Here is the shadow warmth
A very clouded vision
Basking in the sun
I remember rainfall
Washing away the dirt
Waiting for the night fall
Keeping me alert
The whispers
The whispers
The screams in the dark
Listen to the whispers
Beating on the wall
The whispers
The whispers
Screams in the dark
Listen to the whispers
Can you hear the call?
Now it's time to visit
Where shadows are always shown
Where everything is driven
By forces so unknown
Take a walk at midnight
Don't go back 'til dawn
Never to see daylight
Walk right through the storm
I do remember when
I didn't care to blend
To your environment
I do remember
When I chose to defend
And never compliment
Your point of argument
The whispers
The whispers
Screams in the dark
Listen to the whispers
Beating on the wall
The whispers
The whispers
Screams in the dark
Listen to the whispers
Can you hear the call?

Self Righteous Indignation |
A victim
Of the system
Who gives a damn about your needs?
Won't listen
To criticism
Disgust for everyone who cheats
My heart is cold
I cannot pray
I can't look away
What may unfold
In all dismay
Just total disdain
Self righteous indignation
My self righteous indignation
No wisdom
So distant
A great sense of shock and grief
Existence of symptoms
Distaste for everything that cheap
It's always known
All the demands
The open hands
Have no control
What you don't have
Gets way out of hand
Self righteous indignation
My self righteous indignation
The fall
Take the fall

Rulers of the Collective |
The hopes and fears
Of all the years
Are with us here tonight
Let's make it clear
We all hold dear
Some useful enterprise
All things considered
Have we delivered?
The blood and tears
Were so severe
To make it pan out right
Right
One cause
Of the collective
Cause
Rulers of the collective
One cause
Of the collective
One cause
Rulers of the collective
What we have here
We will endear
With all who qualify
Let's all adhere
To our careers
Personal sacrifice
All things considered
We will deliver
One cause
Of the collective
Cause
Rulers of the collective
One cause
Of the collective
One cause
Rulers of the collective
All things considered
We have delivered

Compulsive Future Projection |
With the burden of the past
Compulsive future projection
Creating the anxiety gap
Step out of time dimension
Compulsion to live
Through memory anticipation
Oppressive it is
No certainty of protection
Forget your life situation
Compulsive future projection
No time just this time
It lies in this here moment
Say yes just say yes
Say yes to the present moment
Impressions you give
To everyone that you mention
Oppressive it is
No certainty of protection
Impulsive to live
In continual apprehension
Obsession relived
Staring at the ceiling
Staring at the clock
Future projection
With the burden of the past
Compulsive future projection
You want the insanity back
Your thoughts are your invention
Compulsion to live
Through memory anticipation
Compulsion to miss
No certainty
No protection
In continual apprehension
Obsession relived
Forget your life situation
Compulsive future projection
