Somewhat blank
Day-dream more than "live"
Feel somewhat out of place
Don't know what else I have to give
Something's gonna give
The world is too unstable
I sit silent
And wait to tip the scale

Too much tension
In this air
I wonder how much longer
They can smile though despair
No one even cares
Just laugh it off
Don a mask
Point a finger
Lie through teeth
Make a dollar through a flask

So busy stuck on others
Forgetting the source of this life's screening
Most just can't admit
That they haven't found a meaning
On the outside well presented
Inside
Endless screaming
Always working
Always scheming
A life reflected by demeaning

Watching backs
Paranoid
The mirror
Just avoid
Elevator cable snapped
As bunkers all collapse
Yet a few remain intact
Left with no way out
Held in Nature's grasp
Beyond a shadow of a doubt

Darkness.
No lights
No Sun.
No Moon
No stars
No vision
None.

Can't fly away
Can't call for help
You cannot run
From cards you've delt
Life treated like a game
All the rules end up the same
Cheaters never win
There's no one else to blame

Reciprocation
Devastation
Don't you hold your breath
Disrespected death
You get no rest
You've never tried your best

Always ignored
What's widely known
Don't disrespect your home

Give a cackle
Until it's nothing
As empty as within
Just don't forget
Between the laughs
That cheaters never win

Where's the power?
Where's the skill?
Fabricated for the easy-way
Illusion is illusory
Tomorrow's not today

Watch what you say
Dont misbehave
And ask yourself
Who's the slave?

Live your life
According to others
Sadly
It's what I see
I sit silent
Watch and wait
For the powers that will be

Reciprocation
Orbital
I simply blow a kiss
Have finding out...

Ignorance.
Isn't.
Bliss.
