With open arms. Superior morality. The mind to hold the other down. Thirst to be quenched on the souls of the family. Step into the light, let the truth ring out. To be seen and heard, beyond a shadow of a doubt. At all costs, for honesty. It’s not lost on me the Irony You claim to have neutrality. But instigate such anarchy. You must believe your virtue shields The shine so bright, the view reveals. Scream as loud as you can, for as long as you can Anything to defend, may the loudest win Lies are your armor. Made to disguise how you falter. Misplaced your faith. Lies, to suit you. Volume doesn’t make you right. With open arms Superior morality The mind to hold the other down. Thirst to be quenched on the souls of the family. Step into the light, let the truth ring out. To be seen and heard, beyond a shadow of a doubt. Reflection lost to silhouette You went all in, to soon regret. They’ll say it’s fake,you’ll say it's fake. Anything for the cult, hear them all cry wolf. A distraction, meant to provoke a reaction. And you fucking bought it. Is it hard to conceive? Maybe what you believe, Isn't true. given time, given proof You can’t cross that line. Is it hard to console The ideas you were sold Aren't true, given time, given proof You can’t cross that line.

Can you please make sense, either for or against All the crimes we must commit I can’t explain, these days, this place Do we grow ever more insane? Do the ends justify, All the means, and the lies? Does the path even lend? To the goal or the end? While away all alone. So to say, seeking answers. For the gain, for the goal. For the change in the path here. No I can't believe I ever hesitated, oh this place. And I struggle with your struggle, oh the fear upon your face. Instinct or will? The urge to fight, to kill. overcome with fear. Then sharpened to a spear. To give up. Or give in The line is very thin. Take a look within. We are the enemy Within this frame, Is it safe or even sane To believe the voice within. It can’t explain, this path, these claims. There’s no more room inside my head. Do the ends justify, All the means, and the lies? Does the path even lend? To the goal or the end? This the bane false control. Is it sane to cut loose fear. With no anchor to hold. Chart the waves ever after. No I can't believe I ever hesitated, oh this place. And I struggle with your struggle, oh the fear upon your face. Instinct or will? The urge to fight, to kill. overcome with fear. Then sharpened to a spear. To give up. Or give in The line is very thin. Take a look within. We are the enemy Save me from myself anyway Save me from this hell. Save us from ourselves anyway Save us from this hell

More than just slightly does this slight grow within me. Unsightly, blinded, binded murky hindsight and animosity. What once flowed from this heart, Has turned ever so slowly. What seems a world apart, Corrupted unwittingly. This gift has been replaced. A poison now takes its place. Holding tightly to your memory. Held so long and tight that I fear I have become petrified. The count of your betrayal, the rhythm of your crime. The two way mirror, the lens, the focus bends on one moment in time. What once flowed from this heart, Has turned ever so slowly. What seems a world apart, Corrupted unwittingly. Twisted to dislocate. This monster now takes my place. Scolding fiercely, blood red blinds me. Cannot let it stand, unreasonably I'd have things rectified. And never start again. True nothing stays the same. How quickly hearts can change. Till nothing pure remains. Let end the dreams that bind The death of which I could not hide. Desire now malformed and twisted inside me. Viewed through the shroud, the vale, beyond the pale, kaleidoscopically What once flowed from this heart, Has turned ever so slowly. What seems a world apart, Corrupted unwittingly. Is gone.

I cannot wrap my head around your lack of sight. Woefully understated, Ahab the whale was proven right. You’re so obsessed with your own voice. Scorch the earth, salt the grave, laid to waste, beneath the waves, Strike em first, strike em dead, let the rest rise, above the red. Our path is an open book, Take a look. But there’s not much to tell, It all goes to hell. That’s just the chance that you take, Oh the choices you made. If you’re not so afraid, Go on turn the page. How can you act without forethought, thinking your right. Blissfully unaware that, you closed the book on our last goodnight. You’re just as blind as the rest of us. Scorch the earth, salt the grave, laid to waste, beneath the waves, Strike em first, strike em dead, let the rest rise, above the red. Our path is an open book, Take a look. But there’s not much to tell, It all goes to hell. That’s just the chance that you take, Oh the choices you made. If you’re not so afraid, Go on turn the page. To the ending. How did you think this would all end? Time to wake up. Scorch the earth, salt the grave, laid to waste, beneath the waves, Strike em first, strike em dead, let the rest rise, above the red. Our path is an open book, Take a look. But there’s not much to tell, It all goes to hell. That’s just the chance that you take, Oh the choices you made. If you’re not so afraid, You really should be afraid. Of your ending. How did you think this would all end?

Slow, the fog rolls. Obfuscating. Days, remembered. Distant, hazy. Nights, feel borrowed. Fractured, mending. Cold long for home Please just leave me alone. Left to my inhale the vice Such escape seems nice Counting the days. All have passed in a haze I will know you face but your goals i cant place Your eyes convey such sympathy. Why care, who are you, what Is this place. Why play this game, whats in a name. Eyes closed, world gone, Disintegrate. Long to see the face that is my own. Be gone trickster, you can't have my mind. All around me shadows plot control. I'm forsaken, shattered is my soul

I hear the sound of madness. I see such pain and sadness. Some raise their hand and call for war, and Much more. From whence this stark decline did opinion's rise. March out the Ark divine your dominion rises. With no care for the line you lead. The truth cut and served up to us line byline. Starving for more than you offer in your bread lines. For no cause for no truth. Are you? Righteous, do you wield your sword. Will they rise to the call, or do I for this myself? Not a hand could be raised, just to escape from this hell. I hear your weapon, used to instigate. Misdirection is your friend. Hold off your judgment Hold out for what is right Hold on to your hat. The die is cast so just sit tight. You just can't help it You shit the bed and curl up every night. The finger pointed, castigate the mirror to serve blame right I hear the doubt in your words. No room, you simply push the absurd. and move on. Instrumental The evidence bore out but you can't abide. The cornered boar about face won't run an hide. To a place we're no light can be seen. You double down on lies and double up the peril. The trouble now decried fix from a double barrel. Unconcerned with the consequence of your accusations unfoundedness. For no cause for no truth. With guilt will you? Righteous, do you wield your words. Will they rise to the call, or do I see this myself? Not a hand could be raised, just to escape from this hell. I hear your weapon, used to infiltrate. Misdirection pointed in. Hold off your judgment Hold out for what is right Hold on to you hat. The die is cast so just sit tight. You just can't help it You shit the bed and curl up every night. The finger pointed, castigate the mirror to serve blame right. The frame, in doubt. The horde of sheep. The fire burns wild. Take aim, they shout. Take the sword and cut deep. Take ire and tie a noose to hang a child… ...no doubt. No truth, no hope, no sleep. No wired last hour hail Mary pardon dialed… ...to rout. To wipe the blood we weep. Too dire, the blade comes down once riled. Look to the hour, look to the hour. I just can’t care anymore, no more. There’s no one to blame but yourself. Will they rise to the call, or do I see this myself? Not a hand could be raised, just to escape from this hell. I hear your weapon, used to infiltrate. Misdirection pointed in.

Cannot trust that which I see with my own eyes. Truth is mischaracterized, and it's by design. Claim I know my brother is cousin to a lie. Try as you might, you would form a connection. Feeling as if you have set upon stone. So much alike, but they're just out of reach. And you're ever alone, ever alone. Oh for the difference and for the distance. We share in the heart and blood and bone. Say that you will. Why stay in silence? So drunk on confidence So high on our false purpose. Search for some common ground Some truth we all believe in This isn't anger, this is outreach, make you understand. Each one a world unto ourselves A monolith. Contradicting this nature we have within. So intriguing though sometimes it just wears thin. Empathy alone, it doesn't make us kin. Hard wired need or simply a construct. Still feeling as if you have set upon stone. Truly connected or is it the truth. That you're ever alone, ever alone. Oh for the difference and for the distance. We share in the heart and the blood and the bone. say that you will. Why stay in silence? So much is said, not much is learned. Hearing all the words but not what’s inferred. We live our lives, within our minds, lacking in substance. Avert our eyes, to our own kind, ignoring our distance.

Don't be so distraught. Take a breath Child. The width and breadth Child. Fact is, you're with child. Don't mean to sow. Any discord. Utterly utter discourse. Of all of your recourse. Take the time, don't turn away. From all the possibilities. Stand with grace. Stand and face. The whole of the human race. And I won't pretend That I understand. The weight of the day that you make this choice. For the ones who would judge, never give them voice. Accept the truth now. Take the reigns child. The blood and veins child. Can't wish away child. It's a fork in the river. Time to consider. To weather or to wither. Weather or not to deliver. Take the time, don't turn away. From all responsibility. Stand with grace. Stand and face. The whole of the human race. And I won't pretend That I understand. The weight of the day that you make this choice. For the ones who would judge, never give them voice.l And I can't say That all will be made to see. Hope you know that I love you, whatever you come to. Best regards, best regards. Hallowed soul, apropos. I don't envy the shouldered load you bear.
