I can't resolve your problems
so why make me try?
it's no wander
the guilt you give me makes me cry
It's that rich sympathy within my heart
that mates it's disease
I have lost all my power
no power to please
it's because I am civilized
and everyone else is not
and I have realized
that I have been caught
and I beat this thought inside of me
I beat this thought inside of me
I beat this thought inside of me
I am drawing out to please
"I have lost the feeling now"
it's that sweet image within my mind
of the way that life should be
but you've lost all your power
all your power to see
it's because I am civilized
and everyone else is not
and I have realized
that I have been caught
and I beat this thought inside of me
I beat this thought inside of me
I beat this thought inside of me
I am drawing out to please
Please and Thank Yous
right into time out
the end is near
who is scared?
the fear is without
your please and thank yous
who lived the life?
who is your Jesus Christ?
You never lived the life
why am I surprised?
reasons of cause
embalm us all
life on pause
the righteous and tall
who are you people?
Are you civilized?
Close mind under one God that despises them all
He hates you!
Broken Revelations
Creation of modernization to make us feel untrue
Customization of consumer realization and give the truth to you
Religion of the blasphemy to make you feel like Christians
The fakeness of reality to create illusions
Lying in your fantasy
How do you know if the broken is hidden,
If the hidden may be broken?
How do you know if the heavens are real,
When all you conceal you can't feel
A: Faith
How do you know you, yourself aren't broken
Malignance of: to make troubles big
You don't know! The truth maggots are pigs!
How do you know if the broken is hidden,
If the hidden may be broken?
How do you know if the heavens are real,
When all you conceal you can't feel
A: Faith
Situations, motivations, habitations, stimulation,
formations of separations, toleration and revelations,
whole nation's relations, innovation and claymations
revelations actions...
Elixir
Inside your womb lives my darkness
You portray, betray all that breathes
The need to have the need to breed
The need to act out on all your greed
("golden elixir, golden elixir, My love potion resides within her")
Without a heart you may not bleed
Without feet you may not leave
Without waste you cannot live
With an artificial mind you can't forgive
Angel Toys
Burning thought: Tortures happiness
under purple sky smoke thickens
senses stricken and tears of joy cry
The ocean flows upon the shore with hardly a noise
Just an angel in the sky playing with her toys
The green and red reflect the light up the cliff
Water flowing down leaving trails of pink mist
There is a path up the hill for those looking for a better view
The plants on the shore sparkle with magic dust making them appear blue
These are distorted noises of children playing and the babies cry
Distorted rhythms of the beating of time passing bye
No one is aware that I am here! No one is alive
This is all just a fantasy of some place I'd rather be
Where I could see the beauty of it all...
New Religion
Everybody wants to be a victim.
Everyone worships pain.
Victimization a religion.
So let's worship the weakened strain.
with our empty brain
Don't take responsibility
Don't think thoughts through.
Blame your problems on an unseen thing.
when it comes it will blame it all on you.
let's experiment with love and hate
creation of the future makes us wait
the time is now the past has gone
the memories lost the worries won
hands have surfaced from the grave
crawling in the grave yard we are saved
from the world that threw us out
from the pain crying out loud
Insecure
(...security...)
You did this to me
You set me free
Now you're prying
Discourse your trying
Now I feel so insecure
Now I feel so un-pure
Why are you doing this to me?
Leave me alone, I'm happy
I'm happy...
I'm done (don't blame me)
Why are you doing this to me?
Leave me alone, I'm happy
Leave me alone, Leave me alone
Now I feel so insecure
Now I feel so un-pure
Why are you doing this to me?
Leave me alone, I'm happy
I'm happy...
I'm such a hypocrite
I did it the same way
I broke a tiny heart
Social life never the same!
Sadistic Tendency of Disdain
Take your pain from my wrist
How could I ever resist?
I am imagination
Forbidden fantasy
that is destined to be
In worthless congregation
Two beings forced together
Unholy spirit of heaven
Oppressive clouds are pulling in
Violation of hate
Never push to sedate
As I pierce through your skin
You wonder where I have been
You're such a waste!
Sensory Deprivation
Rain cloud captures breath
Sky of sin all over our head
All causing vacuums of death
echoing things that you said
My low motivation: I don't want to try
No stimulation: I just get by
Whimpering ferries are waiting
Up above the clouds are mating
Drawn with a pen of blood,
Portrait lady evil they stood
Describing ferry tales and vicious beasts
As their children begin their tragic last feasts
I want to be in an asylum
All strapped down I can't wait
To live a life of nothing
my goals burned down by my suffering
it's you I want to hate
Please take my blood, my heart, my feelings too
I will need none of theses things so strap them onto you
After all you need them more than I do!
No appreciation!
No appreciation!
No appreciation!
I don't be here! Paralyze me!
I don't want to move, then I couldn't screw up!
You are so naive to believe
That you are the center of everything!
Of everything!
