Dissolved Ideals
01:30
|
|||
Smoldering ashes of your belief system
Reality permeates
Accompanied by reoccuring historical failures
Dissolving the ludicrous ideals
What then is left when the lines of fact are blurred
We repeat our mistakes, vision purposely obscured
One more reason that logic
Separates the theoretical world from the real world
From the ashes of belief permeate reality
The ludicrous ideals
And what passes off for “results” of your “research”
Ruled out…ruled out!
One more reason instinct, logic, survival, existence separates us from reality

There is no understanding
How much of the brain we use
If animals rely on instinct, now who’s inferior?
“Stupid can’t be fixed”
Yet nature has found a way
Animals once again demonstrate that
Not all beings can always be approached with complete tolerance
“Stupid can’t be fixed”
Yet nature has found a way
Facts continue to evade the human strain
Grounds tested and retested with the same consequence
“Stupid can’t be fixed”
Yet nature has found a way
Remove the human stain

History Will Be Erased
01:01
|
|||
Man’s entitlement
Ownership over land
We temporarily inhabit
Futile existence…
Futile arguments
Of who was first
Idiotic dialogue
Of who had it worst
Who had it worst?
Completely worthless scum
Dismissing the priority of creation
Which allowed us to sustain ourselves
Arrogantly taking credit for challenges we faced
Never taking into account history can be erased
Futile existence…
Completely worthless scum
History will be erased

Order Is Weakened
02:11
|
|||
Order now weakened
Implementing ludicrous utopian idealism
Conceived by those furthest separated from the obvious reality
Lowering defenses to portray tolerance
Empowering those who wish to harm us
Disassembling the infrastructure
Built on reason
In order to survive
Order is weakened
To portray tolerance
|
||||
5. |
||||
To function in a polite society
To be rescued by those who can defend themselves
The human stain, addicted to comfort
Unwilling and unaccountable to seek alternative solutions
Unrivaled skill set
Now applied to hunting poachers
Hunt down ISIS free of charge
An unkept promise now fulfilled
Hyper-critiqued
Demonized by those (who will never be) the stigmatized
Now given closure while creating balance
Decorate the landscape with the bodies of the guilty
The human stain, addicted to comfort
Unwilling and unaccountable to seek alternative solutions
To function in a polite society
To be rescued by those who can defend themselves

The Logic Is Where?
01:23
|
|||
Where is the reason behind subscribing to and promoting ideals
Shaped by a government which you claim to protest
Tearing down a figurehead and democracy
For infringement of personal freedom to turn and regurgitate catch phrases and initiatives
Which openly compromise those exact freedoms
Where is the logic?
Out of context in order to save
A vague, generalized, losing argument
Praise intolerance
Effectively taking the definition of racism out of context

Leech Of Pity
01:27
|
|||
Forever the victim, begging for any help
As you perpetuate your own misery
Friendship only exists in the immediacy of the current issue
Quickly discarded until the next trauma
Seeking attention while attempting to justify your poor decision making
Friendship quickly discarded
Leeching pity from anyone who will listen
Seeking at every turn a sympathetic ear
Preying on the unaware, manipulating fear
Unknowingly tyrannized, burdened by dramatic lies
Turn against those who have tried to help you
Only to make yourself look better
Leech of pity

Victimization Culture
02:40
|
|||
It’s a sad world we live in
Offense is an occupation
As I sit behind the screen
It’s time for political masturbation
Trick myself into believing
That I’m not a waste of space
By bitching about minimum wage
When I don’t have a job in the first place
Bigotry is animistic: it’s under every rock
You need to be more tolerant when I talk about killing cops
With social media I create a constant barrage of hate
Adored by sycophantic slaves, insane ideals are praised
We are the victims of white supremacy
But I’m as Caucasian as can be
Am I still the minority? Or the 99 percent?
I’m the used, I’m the abused
Thank God my mom does not make me pay rent
