Dilute us down
Delude us too
The solvent isn’t solving anything
Only making us lose
We are water and bone
Soul and unknown
Chemicals compound
Then break and disbound
Solutions splattered
Spineless tattered
Our volumes broken
Experimental fools

I try to remember yesterday
When I thought about tomorrow
All the paths in front of me
with dreams I could borrow
I longed to be limitless and perfect in my sorrow

Will I regret my collage of memories
when the lights go out
will I sell myself a story
a novella of nothing
so I can avoid human doubt

No one knows
But some believe
Round and round
When it’s your turn
you let go and leave

When you know
and you don’t speak
that evil dilutes
your truth
Eroding
Decaying
People are pawns
Someday the Queen will fall
And when the kingdom is made of bones
there will only be dust for you to stick your head into

I can slap you with words

or recite the most seductive soliloquy
you've ever heard

these talents are hidden in a trap door
kept in a room where I hide
my heart's core

It's a secret treasure
not meant to be disturbed
if you rattle the cage
you'll feel the purge

and my judgement will be deserved

I can help you realize your dreams

Tell you the course the action
plot the star chart
to things unseen

my moral navigator is set
to detect what others don't always see

forever observing
serving
hoping
yearning
for the heart of humanity

Luxury versus necessity
makes man a commodity
Sell your soul to reach a goal
Then parade around
a show for all
The rats race each other and fall

Vanity versus humility
makes man a monstrosity
the robots are built beautiful ugly
they shine and blind the eyes
but rust within
a devil's disguise

Frenzy versus responsibility
makes man a fatality
We **** each other in effigy
raising our causes on pedestals of mass stupidity

Responsibility
Accountability
These are foreign words for blind eyes and deaf ears
We have gadgets to make our lives better
Where is the soul tracker?
The humane bit?
It's his fault, his problem
We have no common sense

We don't care who we step on as long as we come out on top
We hurt ourselves in the long run
Running circles that never stop

We are hamsters on a wheel and the universe laughs at us
