Left to right
Side to side
Scales balance the rising tides
Humanity
Side to side, extreme beliefs
With no reason or identity
Covering up scars and scratches
Running around, a deafening sound
All to ignore reality
Balance brings brilliance
But we sell disharmony
When we sleep, when we breathe
We will ignore certainty

All around, up and down
War with sound
Brought down
To the depths of my soul
All I say is "farewell"
To who I was, who I could be
If only I knew what I ever was
So much noise, all around
Going mute, turning around
The choir bleeds with sound
Wailing now, flailing around
They have the world
They want the universe
All I need, all I desire
Peace with quiet
Quiet with peace

All the hate
All the rage
I wonder, deep down
If it was never anger
Sadness maybe?
A rage against what cannot be?
Who did they want to be?
Under the surface
Tortured souls
Begging for love
That will never come home

Fighting to move forward
Only takes us back
Aggression without direction
Brings us closer to destruction
Director of chaos
Archbishop of hatred
I would cry out for peace
Humaniy does not know what it means
Species destroyed
Nature discarded
I know now
It will soon put us to rest

In a modern era
Past problems persist
For as long as humanity remains
Our nature will persist
Violence and virtue
Greed and generosity
Paradox of a paradox
With no direction
Creating their world
At an individual's discretion
Wanted, but never desired
Easily discarded
For the sake of gain

Creativity, palatability
Delicate balance
With a potential for sanctity
Humanity's identity
Obsessions with the past
Spawn vicious cycles
That they grew to know
Through a blind perspective
Which they could never behold

Leaders of the past
Led the people
Now we have vernacular
Sharing stereotypes
Discrimination on different stereo types
Old like a commandment
Commanding like a caesar
Shaking like a seizure
Ruling in leisure
