Pull the curtain from over your eyes
See beyond the constructed lies

Stop your judging and demented cries
Of those whose point of view you deny

Feign ignorance to the truth you will not see
Watch the tide rise as common sense recedes

Hunker down in your dogmatic cocoon
Only to emerge and naive buffoon

Logic and science are trickery and bewitchment
Such are the thoughts of the ignorant  

Stick to your beliefs and fears like glue
For you read it in a sacred book so it must be true

Ask no questions and deny no absolutes
See where that takes you if you are so resolute

Watch the world crumble around you and blame the devil
For hes the creator of all ills and evil revel

Watch the powers that be consume and destroy
As they take away all living things health and joy

Pretend I offend your moral code
But deep down inside you fester with hypocritical mold

To NOT ask questions and seek new ways
Is to annihilate the future of all earthly days

Starry eyes starry skies
I listened to those whispered lies

celestial bodies destined to collide
destined to destroy the core inside

magnetic attraction with a deadly extraction
you left a black hole in my heart with your reaction

icy hands and icy lips
we're two galaxies stuck together in a death grip

Where do I go from here
"who am I," is ask myself
who is going to care like he did
where do I want to go

who do I want
"where can I find him," I ask myself
where should I look
who can I trust

why did I do this to myself
"what have I become" I ask myself
what should I do
why do I feel this way

What will the future hold
"why cant I be satisfied alone," I ask myself
why should I need him
what will it be like without him

where do I go from here
but into the unknown

When I hear that electronic chirp of sophisticated miniature machinery
I get excited because I think its you
I shouldn't
I have a momentary notification of
heavy disappointment when its not
You poke around my brain
There is no reason for me to feel this way
I know only artificial rays of light entering your eyes
You shouldn't hold such high status in mine
I am nothing to you in actuality
and you should be nothing to me

I sometimes sit and think about how I wouldn't mind if the world ended
I know its wrong of me to say that at face value, but deep down inside I know we all think it
not that the earth itself should be destroyed into oblivion, but the opposite
that the world should live on
and the cancerous growth of humanity should be cured
its a pessimistic way of looking at things , I know, but I cant help but feel this
short ride of ours on this planet is careening out of control
I'm not a nihilist or an anarchist or an environmentalist
nor a ******* for that matter
I'm not afraid to die because I believe I will no longer exist when I do
but the pointlessness of it all and the blatant disregard for others,
other species other lives other kinds other minds
disregard for the future for cleanliness leads me to these thoughts,
that a septic surplus has arisen on this singularly magnificent gift
of life in this one and only known universe and we sit here ******* all over it...
I sometimes think it'd be best if we all just left

I dug myself a whole
when I gave you my heart

ever since then I've done
nothing but fall apart

so much time and so much shame
to have wasted my life an someone so lame

I take solace in being free
why there's so much fish left in the sea

atrophied and out of practice
I update my relationship status

cold and naked like a newborn
cut from the womb with a knife

I am a fresh soul once again in this unforgiving life
