Bed of Razors

|
Forgotten by existence
Fallen into a fissure of insanity
Bed of razors at the bottom, a cradle,
For the remnants of abandoned dreams.

Surrendering Autonomy
03:19
|
|||
|
Kissing the ground beneath your idols’ feet
Bowing to the judgement of self proclaimed authority
Abandoning all principle in favor of empty opportunity
Do you see the writing on the wall?
It’s clear and legible in bold script that a fallacy is being promulgated
Clear and in high visibility that a fearful child is being emasculated
Words of caution are all but ignored because “we can be anything we want today”
Believe what you wish, do as you see fit
But there’s no happy ending in this fantasy
When the gavel slams after the sentencing
Perhaps you’ll find the time to reconsider
The approach we take for the sake of advancement at the expense of our next of kin
Surrendering autonomy
Would you prefer your choices all be made for you? I suppose you would.

Malevolent Continuum
02:39
|
|||
|
The taste of sin as sweet as she may be
Is only a projection of purpose that can’t be felt or seen
Shackled to our constructs of successes as perceived
We must create our own definition or the existing one will be
Dragging you down to this place you fear
You will find inhibitions disappear
When the last semblance of hope is gone and you prepare for life to end just as it began, a random event in a
Malevolent continuum traversing towards entropy
Give yourself to the void
Wrong and right as clear as they may seem, share a plane.
Depending on the exposition it may be dull or it may gleam.
What you make of past and present will always shape what’s yet to come.
Taking time to rest will only compromise what could be done

Neglect and Violence
03:12
|
|||
|
I’ve seen this all before
Memories of another life
Victims of circumstance
Turmoil, chaos and strife
With the lord’s hands are wrapped around your throat, how can you even breathe?
When your creator renounces you
Where’s the incentive to believe?
From the manic episodes
To the razor slice afternoons
Acts of neglect and violence
You’re not telling me anything new
The depressive tendencies
Everything grinds to a halt.
Insurmountable numbness when you’re told it’s your own fault.
I’ve heard this all before
Time to pay it forward and make things right
Some only think of themselves
But being there for those in need is our lot in life
Why would benevolence earn you God’s punishment?
Why would selflessness bring you closer to death? Such a treatment does not make any sense.
I’ve seen this all before
Memories of another life
The names, faces, and the dates will change but our roles in the story will remain the same.

How This Probably Ends
02:18
|

I hear again and again that you’re ready to die.
I just don’t understand,
But I can empathize with the suffering.
All of my life’s pain at this point is felt for others
and for this I know that I’m blessed and cursed
What you do when we part ways
Is out of my hands
I hope that you can remember what was said...
I’m to terms with the fact that you won’t know me as an older man
But that does not make this any easier to bear.
In spite of odds against you and knowing how this probably ends
In spite of odds against you, I maintain some optimism.
But we all know how this probably ends.
