I Am a God

I choose no masters
I choose none
As they did not choose me
To explore the inequities
I was just born into it
A glare at the sun
Would surely burn your eyes
A walk on the moon
Would cost you a lifetime
So should I stay grounded
Or allow myself
To fall into hysteria
Chasing the dream my feet
Are tripping on slick asphalt
I dare to reach beyond the void
That's been presented to me
What chance do I have
If I don't even try
Cuz i don't want to be
Destined to repeat
All the same mistakes
Of those who came before me
A steady trek in search
Of reasoning
The freedom of enlightenment
I dare to reach beyond the void
That's been presented to me
For I create my own
Envisioned configuration
I dare to reach beyond the void
That's been presented to me
I am a god
A gamble on life
Is a deadly investment
Pursuit of understanding
Leveling the playing field
Bridging us together
An invincible army
Saviors of the self
I dare to reach beyond the void
That's been presented to me
For I create my own
Envisioned configuration
I dare to reach beyond the void
That's been presented to me
I am a god

The Used

Suddenly a rumbling occurs
Followed by gusts of wind
Electric rain drops
And a cacophonic thunder
This storm's been brewing, consuming
One life after another
Conscious, fluid like the ocean
Spreading throughout the land
Carrying vectors of some illness
Careful if you swim in the deep
State of mind
For a great vacuum exists
That eats the blind
Gaping mouth gluttonous
Its hunger incredulous
The stream of consciousness
Has been compromised
Left unstable
Impressionable and
Socially deprived
For a great vacuum exists
That eats the blind
Gaping mouth gluttonous
Its hunger incredulous
Shape shifting disguising
As one who admired your story
But truly doesn't care
Just a passing random happenstance
Soon to be discarded
And forgotten
And as the hope you had once fades
Regret is all that now remains
For a great vacuum exists
That eats the blind
Gaping mouth gluttonous
Its hunger incredulous
Suckered by this
Vortex used up and
Left disappointed feeling isolated
Grim as it may be
People are indeed flawed
But this is just
The way of human beings
If we never learn
We're definitely fucked
And can never be
One world in unity

Beasts of Fiction
06:12

So close and yet
Oh so far
Is it all too much to ask for
Was it always going to fail
Can we build upon new pillars
Of fundamental principles
Can we truly forget the past
Or are we too submerged in the
Grief that it bore
Beginning of the end
The age of bitter men
Just over the horizon
And through some dark shit
Mankind finds reason
Looking back in terror
At the beasts of fiction
Is it maybe a possibility
Our next best version of ourselves
Gets high on looking back at us
In our frenzy instead of joining them
On the journey
Can we truly forget the past
Or are we too submerged in the
Grief that it bore
Beginning of the end
The age of bitter men
Just over the horizon
And through some dark shit
Mankind finds reason
Looking back in terror
At the beasts of fiction
Peering through the lens
Of time
Amused by the primitive labors
Of the times
Decades of institutionalized
Distress
Before the common sense
Compilation beset a new trend
We were once
More like animals
Or rather like the monsters
In our short tales
The beasts of fiction

Parasitic Advantage
03:45
|
|||
Of pathogenic infectious viral
Discourse
With a wide variety of travel
It takes a hold so
God damned effortlessly
Punishing natural growth
Replacing critical thought with
Emotional tithings
Ambiguity
And a lack of
Checking the facts
Give into the mold
But you'e not at fault you see
Cuz you didn't know
You were being taken
By an alien technology
A complicated industry
The faces never shown
Dispersing feverishly
Your temperature rising
The sick trickles out the side of
Your mouth drooling
The words slip through your fingers
Sending their vile messages
On repeat
Some part of you refusing
But still not there
Give into the mold
But you'e not at fault you see
Cuz you didn't know
You were being taken
By an alien technology
A complicated industry
The faces never shown
Parasitic advantage
Closing in on our senses
Weakened so clever
As if it were conscious
The proverbial virus
Fed through the
Interweb
Taken without
Prescription
We overdose
On this celestial
Ambrosia
Till the cancer
Becomes us
Breaking the structure down
Feeling defeated
All the time
Give into the mold
But you'e not at fault you see
Cuz you didn't know
You were being taken
By an alien technology
A complicated industry
The faces never shown
A blind attack
Intending to deconstruct
And resurrect
Divergence

Forever Torment
04:12
|
|||
In this withered state
Obstruction of sight
Tainted visions
Familiar by the millions
Conjoined by a
Smear campaign
Look here
See here
Be here
Fear their opinions
If they're not one of us
Then they don't give a fuck
A kind of tribalism
But not so tribal is it
When things change so frequently
Hate is a currency
Traded way too often
Afforded by the rich and
Silent minority
A secret society
Composing or conspiring
It always has been all the same
With no distinctions
A hint of new disgrace
Remnants of past disorderly
Conduct mildly changing as
Time would permit
But still keeping its shape
Recognize the stench
As it pollutes the environment
And leaves behind a foul taste
The same from a long
Time ago
We're in this moment
Forever torment
And it lasts for as long
As we accept
Some will pray and hope
That eventually things will be
More orderly
Staring out into nothing
As they give thanks
A hint of new disgrace
Remnants of past disorderly
Conduct mildly changing as
Time would permit
But still keeping its shape
Recognize the stench
As it pollutes the environment
And leaves behind a foul taste
The same from a long
Time ago

I've been tryna call
I've been on my own for long enough
Maybe you can show me how to love, maybe
I'm going through withdrawals
You don't even have to do too much
You can turn me on with just a touch, baby
I look around and
Sin City's cold and empty
No one's around to judge me
I can't see clearly when you're gone
I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights
No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch
I said, ooh, I'm drowning in the night
Oh, when I'm like this, you're the one I trust
I'm running out of time
'Cause I can see the sun light up the sky
So I hit the road in overdrive, baby, oh
Sin City's cold and empty
No one's around to judge me
I can't see clearly when you're gone
I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights
No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch
I said, ooh, I'm drowning in the night
Oh, when I'm like this, you're the one I trust
I'm just walking by to let you know (by to let you know)
I can never say it on the phone (say it on the phone)
Will never let you go this time
I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights
No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch
I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights
No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch
