An eye for an eye is universally considered to be justified But you'll find that everybody's blind and nothing's changed, not a single mind Hear the gear suddenly grind to a halt but refuse to acknowledge the bind Sittin' dead center of the dumpster fire proclaimin' it'll be fine In general we prefer to pretend to be blind You can't get off this ride, I still tried, found myself tied to life for life with no guide Cried for just a pinch, wasn't given an inch, never made a sound, in that silence is where hope died Beaten down by everything around, can't hide the tanned hide or tattered and torn pride Misty eyed and sleep deprived, insecurities weaponized by myself for myself, individualized personality traits willfully lobotomized to fit in with them other guys Expertly hypnotized to pull the wool over your own two black eyes Don't question why a lie and the truth are on the same side, like both sides never tried Confusion spreads world wide, a close encounter of the mindless kind Unchecked pride in a prise for the loser will compromise any humanity that tries Let's go to the chart shall we guys? BOOM! The proof is in the lines, inhumane insanity on the rise Allowing a personalized demise to arise, spoken to yourself or another, a lies a lie no matter the size In a black and white society there's no blue skies The grass is fuucked beyond repair, no green anywhere, I've checked front and back and both sides Who decides where the status quo marker resides Keep 'em mystified by vague who, what, where, when and why's Demonize even the idea of a question so questionable answers to puzzling actions are never scrutinized God won't mind if I send one his way as long as it's not mine, so everyone's waiting for a purge scenario type grand prize All of a sudden life can be nullified, rationalized as good over evil by twisted minds A shady shadow enterprise, faceless behind an eyes wide shut disguise This is what ignorance buys A centralized love of hate, morality slides, sheep clothing stock on the rise Right outside one of the good guys with a gun hides while inside our future cries No hope, no surprise, no answer to prayer screamed at the skies Only able to watch the eyes of innocence as it dies, proving evil not only survives but thrives ©2023
