Pretend To Understand:
Polarizing times
Duality of chosen lies
Indoctrinations rise
Cult of dead flies
Never know the truth
It’s not meant for you
Force feed yourself until
You’re satisfied with the proof
Move the goalposts
Tomorrow seals the fate of those
Controlling from the shadows
Humans turned to cattle
Endgame is unclear
Uncertainty and fear
Paranoia reigns
All part of the game
Follow the plan
Don’t let things get out of hand
Pretend to understand
But you’re just a man
Forge another myth
Go to war with it
Straw man built to burn
Reality of no concern

Feign Ignorance:
I’ve never been here
Help me to see clear
What needs to be done
Just want to get along
Playing it meek and mild
Innocent as a child
Playing myself again
A game I could never win
Feign ignorance
Feign interest
Collapse within
Corrupted pride
How long until it ends
Trying to meet demands
Wearing myself so thin
Hard to even pretend
Scattering thoughts unwind
Memories lost to time
Swear that I’ve been here
Why is it so unclear

Hide My Shame

Hide My Shame:
Vandalized
Stripped for parts, left on blocks to decay
Rusted shell crumbles away
Falsified memories of yesterday
Better days
Patronized
Failure in the framework, a hidden flaw
Make me pay for what I say
Lay the law down baby, make me obey
I’ll behave
A display
Of your dominance
Words do damage
Not as well as a fist
Pounding out problems
Then the trauma hits
Never the same again
Bastardized
Sacred rights twisted into dark desires
Love constructed from farce
Propped up set pieces rusting in the dirt
Introvert
Petrified
Each step forward moves us further from the light
Nothing’s normal about this
Bend in half trying to make it alright
Might is right
Question why
I deserve everything coming my way
Today is not my lucky day
Change my tune real quick as my thoughts betray
Hide my shame

Grasp And Gasp:
Cave in
Grasp and gasp
Minds eye blinded
How could This be real
Shattered inside
Everything I built
Has crumbled
Truth is now revealed
Charmer
Took the bait
Fate was sealed
This love must be real
Pain is all I feel
Bled dry
Red eyes
It’s not a victimless crime
Happens all the time

Fix Yesterday:
Day by day
Layers peel away
Death is slow
But a constant flow
Rotting out
Invisibly
Hand of fate
Welcomes me
Time steals the days
Hours burn away
Tomorrow won’t delay
Can’t fix yesterday
Hour by hour
Recall the past
Can’t control
What didn’t last
Negligence
In memory
Only served
An enemy
Night by night
Memories incite
Violent dreams
A hopeless fight
Sudden waking
No relief
Nightmare meets
Reality

Strike A Deal

Strike A Deal:
Drift
In and out
Capsizing waves
Your voice echoes
You’re an avalanche
I'm in your path
Made no attempt
To evade
Frozen alive
Held fast in frost
A cage of ice
Around my heart
It’s a long way down
Will you break my fall?
A sacrifice
Martyrdom
Can I trust you now?
Red flags abound
Ignored them all
I’m not afraid
Crumbling down
Piece by piece
I release
Control to
Someone who
Knows how to
Strike a deal
Irresponsible
High off the fumes
Warmly tingling
Asphyxiate
Come down is harsh
But we’ll get by
Capsizing minds
Imploding hearts
Rush into the fire
Impatient ways
Mistakes are made
In record time

Say Goodbye

Say Goodbye:
Feeling cheated
History repeated
Warning signs
Never heeded
Cataclysmic
Ending to an
Uphill battle
Friendly fire
They will leave us behind
Fighting to survive
A new world awaits
Departure of the elites
Mistreated
Stripped and depleted
Taken for granted
Selfishly squandered
Born into chaos
Bred into madness
Truth lies
Hidden from view
