Locke & Loaded

"Two unconnected, discontinuous segments of consciousness are not part of the same person, but belong instead to two different persons."

 

Lived many wretched lives

But this one takes the cake

Life is but a trial

Remembered most for your mistakes

Out of your reality and out of my awareness

I was dragged by my naked collar

The mystic became violated

As the deity asked for a dollar

Apocalyptic visions come

When I dream by day

Cognizant of many things

But the mystery lies in wait

Their interpretation is prevailing

But they are blind to its function of power

They think the concepts of light and truth

Can be found in a beautiful flower

The sinners wait with bated breath

Measuring my faults on a scale

But the second coming's coming soon

Only He can judge me where I failed

Have enough chaos in me

To produce a thousand dancing stars

You have your way and I have mine

The right way only exists on Mars

Security of conformity you choose

But I was not meant to have that choice

I am just a highly flawed individual

Searching for freedom and a voice

Constantly seeking a fortress, a lighthouse

But I know this must be in solitude

Exile is where I belong

The path home always eludes
