And you hate me And always will I know there're laughing But it feels more like A thousand daggers when You know the gist And not the details Whatever happened to being yourself Or your own worst enemy I'm sorry if I get it wrong These eyes are no longer my own The world is no L word anymore It's just not big enough By everything, unhinged- Money and dead leaves Spider-webs and shattered glass Light-bulbs and nooses Hangers and trees Scarecrows and Jesus Atlantis America Animal AI Shoelaces and hangman- It's all I see In a sliver of the multitudes of me While duality's making a killing And the devil plays with more DNA And I wonder how long endurance Can outlive truth Take control Spin me up and away But don't spin a web Don't play with my head Please don't conform With your ears and your eyes Use a little more brain, a little more spine Then again, all my heroes Have gone to milk cartons Or simply have gone away And while I speak my mind The hypocrites scream diatribe But words are all I have And I'm just a crazy pariah So what do they care My world is coming to an end And I'm not supposed to tell them What nobody knows The tome is heavy The message is light But I no longer have the luxury Of distraction I need purging But they just want to get clean There's too much I can't forget And tons more I can't remember And the whole world seems to know the latter- Slashed and diced Brain on a platter If there's really room in the end Maybe I shouldn't worry But is there room for truth? I don't want to solve the universe I want to solve my forgone youth And I rather hang with the crucified and poor They don't have time for videotape and black magic- All that's tragic No guilt No innocence Just trying to survive the next ten minutes Pregnant mind Keeps rewinding Going backwards in time to the Opposite of life So forgive me the delve, the dare And maybe the wrong These questions and methods replace Bullets I don't own And the chamber is always full

And you hate me And always will I know there're laughing But it feels more like A thousand daggers when You know the gist And not the details Whatever happened to being yourself Or your own worst enemy I'm sorry if I get it wrong These eyes are no longer my own The world is no L word anymore It's just not big enough By everything, unhinged- Money and dead leaves Spider-webs and shattered glass Light-bulbs and nooses Hangers and trees Scarecrows and Jesus Atlantis America Animal AI Shoelaces and hangman- It's all I see In a sliver of the multitudes of me While duality's making a killing And the devil plays with more DNA And I wonder how long endurance Can outlive truth Take control Spin me up and away But don't spin a web Don't play with my head Please don't conform With your ears and your eyes Use a little more brain, a little more spine Then again, all my heroes Have gone to milk cartons Or simply have gone away And while I speak my mind The hypocrites scream diatribe But words are all I have And I'm just a crazy pariah So what do they care My world is coming to an end And I'm not supposed to tell them What nobody knows The tome is heavy The message is light But I no longer have the luxury Of distraction I need purging But they just want to get clean There's too much I can't forget And tons more I can't remember And the whole world seems to know the latter- Slashed and diced Brain on a platter If there's really room in the end Maybe I shouldn't worry But is there room for truth?
